New Patch

BrassFactory Dukes of Hazardous Waste Autodueller Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 365 Joined: Jul 29, 2012 I've always gotten a warning popup that I have the wrong version of the game. With this new patch I can't read radio buttons and when I try to enter a scouting mission I'm told my packets are wrong and dumped. Did a clean install. Guess I'm out. Been fun! ......................... vet wv pvp4 pvp2 pvp1 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 4:57 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 It definitely sounds like you're running an out of date engine build. I have also seen this caused by anti-virus software which refuses to let the darkwind patcher work and keeps forcing it back to old versions of files ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 6:38 pm

I'm running it out of the download file. I'll keep fiddling. And the radio buttons are visible now. ......................... vet wv pvp4 pvp2 pvp1 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 9:11 pm

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 On my Windows 7 it didn't give me issues in the past but I've noticed on Windows 8 I have to load normal then close then load admin and close then reload normal and close and reload admin and close and then on the next iteration of normal loading it works I'm guessing it's a Win8 issue. ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 9:36 pm

You mean without unzipping to a new folder? Not a good idea, as it won't be able to patch, I think. Handiest place to unzip to is probably a new folder on the desktop itself, where you definitely have read/write privilege. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 10:10 pm

BrassFactory Dukes of Hazardous Waste Autodueller Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 365 Joined: Jul 29, 2012 No, I mean having unzipped it to another folder. It installed normally before and didn't work. This time it just installed into the folder it was in and worked. ......................... vet wv pvp4 pvp2 pvp1 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 10:57 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Did you use the setup.exe method previously? (if you can recall) I removed that option as it's more hassle.. but could put it back again if it's better for some people. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 20, 2014, 11:04 pm
