Hister Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have a question. I installed the patch and got the message that it was successful, but when I launch the game, the opening page still reads as version 1.00. Is this normal or did I miss something in the installation process? Michael That shouldn't be happening. It says 1.03 on mine. Re-apply the patch, make sure you point it to the directory where RT resides! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Re-apply the patch, make sure you point it to the directory where RT resides! My thoughts exactly. Which is why I did all those things before I posted. Have any other ideas? Understand, this is not a game breaker; it runs just fine the way it is although I might be missing something or other. It just puzzles the hell out of me when something inexplicable like this happens. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ain't a culprit contact helpdesk. It might take them some time due to holidays though. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can you tell if you're patched or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 You should just use Microsoft security essentials AV. It's free and does not give false positives. I am more then happy user with it. Thanks, I'll keep that AV solution in mind, although until now I've never had a problem with webroot in 6 years, and they whitelisted the program within a few hours once I alerted them to the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 So can you tell if you're patched or not? At the bottom of the opening screen it should show 1.03 as the version number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a Mac which has a slightly different procedure, no copy and paste involved, but the effect is the same. Originally I had the game in a folder on my HD, so to make sure that the installer could find it, I pulled it out so that it resided on the root level of the drive. That has always worked in the past, so I am at a loss of why it would not work now. Anyway, thanks for the good wishes. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm not familiar with how macs work but you are probably messing things up by moving base install directory around. 1.3 patch uses new protection measures so that might be your culprit right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Okay so I loaded a fresh copy of RT and ran the 1.03 installer. I got the message that all installations were successful, but when I opened RT the first screen was still showing 1.00. In the documents folder there is a v103 ReadMe text, so I don't know what to think about all this. Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 It's about damn time you contact helpdesk cos we ran out of ideas here. They shoulg get back to you in the following days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_101 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sorry, newb here. Can someone walk me through the installation step by step. I don't have an option in the installer to put it into the CMRT folder. It just installs it into applications next to the base game. I realise I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_the_Surly Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I never had the 26% bug till I installed patch 1.03 Now when I try to load a pbem, it gets to 26% then quits. It loaded the first pbem ok, but hasn't gotten past 26% since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike CMBN, CMFI and CMSF - which were all installed by default inside named folders under Apps - my initial install of CMRT "just" had the .app package in Applications, no enclosing folder ... Before applying the v1.03 patch, following the advice I saw I created a "CM Red Thunder" (ie exact same name as the .app package) folder under Applications, and then put the CM Red Thunder.app package in there. Then running the patch, it finds and correctly updates the base game in its new, "in folder" location ... (Think it may have something to do with meeting Apple install routine practices ... but not certain!) Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give that a try and report back on what results. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
