checking what patch i need

[ananas]

How do i see what patch i need? I know F12 gives you version number, but on forum patches are numbered 1 to 10... whats the correlation? ^^

You'll find the correlation in the version number:

 

1.1.0 = 10

1.0.9 = 9

etc.

 

Right now, you should use Patch 10, unless you have XP or Vista, in which case I recommend 10a. You can of course use 10a regardless of OS, but it's produced mainly to help XP and Vista users.

 

Let me know if that answers your question!

[ananas]

client version? publisher version?

 

and do i need all the previous patches first, or can i go ahead and do 10a immediately? (*edit* since i read: it's cumulative, but does that mean, you can stack it on top of previous updates, or that it includes the previous ones in it too?)

 

thanks for the fast replies btw

Client version. You can use 10a, which is a cumulative Hotfix. Usually, only Patches are cumulative, but in this case we've not done so. Cumulative means that all previous Patches are included within.

ok thanks. btw quikc question, is it normal my scroll of touchpad on laptop doesnt work? some text boxes dont have up or down buttons, so i cant do anything in those on laptop. It works okay with a regular mouse though

I don't think it's normal, but...we've had some difficulty with laptop keyboards in the past. I'll ask the coding team to look at it, when we can.

 

Thanks!

[ananas]

thanks for the reply.

 

next point : i downloaded the 10a update, and put in in my installation map as instructed, but now i can't load my games anymore (games made àfter I patched to 10a)

 

*edit* it was a save i just made after patching of my new char, so i got a clean save of his entire background and stats, game errors and closes when i try to open it

Hmmm! That's...unusual.

 

If you don't mind, try installing Patch 10, and then Patch 10a. I haven't seen any problem with loading in my own test games- perhaps something is missing from Patch 10a.

 

Thanks!

already did that I 'accidentaly' installed 10 first, and then I read from you that 10a is for vista/xp, so i put 10a on top of those

Ananas;

 

Hmmm. So, to confirm:

 

1) You Patched to 10.

2) You Patched to 10a.

3) You created a new game, and saved it.

4) Now, when you try to load a game, it crashes?

 

Thanks!

i'll take a look at it tomorrow, sleep time now . thanks

[Legate of Mineta]

Ananas;

 

Thanks! We'll look at this save.

[ananas]

i got the problem with every new game i make apparantly, maybe something went wrong when i patched?

[Legate of Mineta]

ananas;

 

I'm not sure- although we see that there is an issue with your save (we can't load it either), we haven't been able to replicate the issue.

 

It's possible something went wrong when you Patched- I'd suggest a reinstallation and then Patching, just to be sure.

 

Let me know the result, please!

[ananas]

after a reinstall, and then applying the recent patch that came out, it is now working. (well, the old games are lost, but i can laod my new ones at least )

thanks for all the help, you rock ^^

I am glad to hear it! Enjoy the game.
