Guest Madmatt Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 You patch the demo or the CD version? You apply the patch to the correct folder?

Guest Bad Ju Ju Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 Full game and yes I believe I applied it to the right folder, i.e., the main folder where the CM exe file is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorak Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 The problem is that your not replacing the old .exe file with the new .exe file.

Rick614 Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 Maximus Does it say somewhere after you install patch version 1.01 your version should still read 1.00? ------------------ Rick614 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MantaRay Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 My opening screen says 1.01 in the bottom Right corner, so no I don't think it does.

DCC63 Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 The patch creates new folders in the cmbo, BMP, WAV, folders. The new ones are cm "v1.01 update" in the above folders. The files located in these folders have to be placed in the originals. If you are not asked to replace the old files (this was how I found out I had not patched the existing files)you did not patch correctly.

COPYing in the EXE will only make a short cut to the new exe file and not overwrite the old exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penubly Posted June 29, 2000 Share Posted June 29, 2000 After patching correctly it does say 1.01 at the bottom of the intro screen. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COPYing in the EXE will only make a short cut to the new exe file and not overwrite the old exe.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> In Windows 9x, this is not exactly a correct statement. If you truly "copy" the file, it will always ask if you want to replace the destination file if one exists with the same name. I think what you are referring to is if you use the Left Mouse Button to drag-drop a .EXE file from one folder to the next, then yes, the default action Windows takes is to 'create a shortcut'. If you hold the CTRL key down when dragging-dropping, it always copies the file. If you hold the SHIFT key down, it always moves the file. It's easy to get confused what Windows does. Thus, when using Windows Explorer, always use the Right Mouse Button when dragging-dropping files. This gives you a pop-up menu when dropping the file and you can select, Copy-Move-Create Shortcut, and there is no question as to what operation you are doing.
