New Patch 1.10/2.5/3.1

<< < (11/12) > >>

jezzer:
I figured out what was wrong with my game's load time.  It turns out I forgot to decrapify my saved game after decrapifying objects despite reading roughly OVAR 9000 warnings to do so.  I fail.

    Do I have to increment patches from whatever updated 2.0.86 to the next level and up bit by bit?


I have found that patching needs to be done with EVERY patch that was released, the exception being the initial jump if you downloaded the razor game.

Google the patches, download, install in order.  I had to patch base up to 1.9 then WA up to 2.4, then do the 1.10 and 2.5.  If I tried it in any other order, it gave me the invalid file error, or "patching could not complete".  Maybe it'll work if you do everything up till 1.5, then base-wa-base-wa-base-wa up to the end. I know it doesn't like having one more unpatched than the other.  I don't have HELS so I can't help there.

You don't have to patch every single patch if you're starting from a clean install. There is usually a direct retail-to-current patch available, although it is not widely linked, so you will have to massage the URL manually.

I understand all that yet it's still annoying. I bet most people here wouldn't even patch up if JM didn't update AM to work with the patch to begin with. Anyways, I'll just wait and see.


No. 

I patch up because I do not want my game to bork due to running old patches with new content.  I would not be surprised if EA failed to enforce dependencies correctly therefore I take matters into my own hands and make sure the game is updated to the latest patch based on my version and SKU.

As for the bugs and phailpatches, I heed the whining and made sure to back up all my crap. 

More often than not I don't experience even documented issues yet when I do I have options and lost nothing.

J. M. Pescado:
If a patch turns out to be particularly Phail, it will not be adopted.
