Generations: What Sucks, What's Fucked, and What Did EA Get Right by Utter Luck
vesper:
Thanks! Unfortunately it got the wrong SHA1 checksum when trying to update, so I guess I'm back to square one. Will search moar and try something smart (already tried reinstalling)
jezzer:
Pirating 101: Don't Overwrite Important Files. Back them up, move them to a safe place, or leave them where they are and rename them with a ".old" extension so the game will ignore them. Whatever you have to do to keep you from going on websites to expose your shame while we point and laugh at you, because you WILL NEED those original files again if you plan to ever patch your game or upgrade to a new EP.
vesper:
No shit.
I'm usually pretty good at that - I keep them backed up (I have TS3W.exe, TS3W-original.exe and TS3W-crack.exe) and color-coded in the original folder, so I can easily use whichever version I want, but I just forgot it this time around.
So lesson learned, and my daily backup has already run and updated all the files, so I'm at a loss here.
Anyways, if you happen to have the unpatched, original TSLHost.dll lying around somewhere, feel free to upload it, because I have no idea how to get it back - it didn't appear after reinstalling Generations, even after removing the cracked TSLHost.dll so it wouldn't get confused, and I can't find it lurking around in the installer either.
I'll even buy you a beer if you're ever near me if you could be so kind.
kissing_toast:
Suck it up, you're going to have to uninstall everything and start over. Why would you even waste your time using cracks for this game anyways? There's way too many updates.
vesper:
Yeah, guess that's the reality I'm facing. And for my last noobie question -- is it possible to run the Reloaded version without a crack? I thought even the No-CD mods/cracks/whatever required changing a couple of the files?
For my last Hail Mary attempt I'm installing Generations on top of the regular base game, and extracting TSLHost.dll from that folder. Not sure if the contents of TSLHost.dll change with regards to what you have installed, but it's worth a shot. Otherwise I have a hell of a job ahead of me trying to find all the DMGs and all my CC..
Edit: SUCK IT.
I fixed it. Here's the unpatched, original TSLHost.dll for you daphoenyx. Just updated my game, so I know it works. http://www.mediafire.com/?z701kv49aql3947
