Whenever i try playing i get so far as the first screen (the one with the map and legal stuff) then the screen goes black and goes to the desktop.

Im sure its 1.2 version (RTR vers 6.0) cause its says when i try to patch it, 'already been upgraded to 1.2'.

Ive also tried deleting map.rwm so could someone plleeeeease help.

Cheers

Have you uninstall everything, and reinstalling again, and when you try to install the 1.2 patch it syays that it's already there ? I believe if that's the case then the patch 1.2 is actually not install yet, but it says 'already upgraded' due to some registry problem.

Please try to use the manual (winrar) install of the patch, then install RTR on top of it.

He's talking about the 1.2 patch zip version. With the 1.2 patch zip file, all you need to do is copy and paste to patch your RTW to 1.2.

Does that mean if ive already unzipped 1.2 ill have to download it agian or can i copy the unzipped (blue logo) one into the data folder?

Thanks for your help by the way

I think you misinterpreted the post. Go here and download the zipped patch for 1.2. There is an inherent bug within the 1.2 self-installer where it doesn't know if you've already uninstalled the patch previously. So since you've uninstalled RTW (and consequently the patch) before, it still thinks the patch is still installed when it really isn't. The zip file gets around that as it removes the installer completely.

Once that's done, install RTR over the top again.
