Bahger Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hey guys. I'm going to dive back into this now but wonder what the patch protocol is, as there has been talk of reinstallation before patching. I downloaded the game as a preorder, then got my disk in the mail. (By then, I was so dismayed I didn't open it). I may have applied one patch, but probably not. Is a game reinstall necessary and what do you recommend the best procedure is to get from the original retail build (not Paradox) to 1.06? Many thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molotov_billy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Reinstall is not necessary. If you do reinstall, going from 1.00 -> 1.06 causes only one issue - the hotkeys.txt does not overwrite, so a lot of the command stuff is broken. The workaround for that is to install 1.06 to another directory, or grab the hotkeys.txt from somebody, and manually overwrite your 1.00 text file with the new one. If your fresh reinstall is version 1.01, then there are no issues as far as I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Most of the file mirrors already updated their 1.06 patch to fix the hotkeys issues originally reported. Also, a much EASIER fix is to just delete your hotkeys.txt file from your Data folder before you patch. Then it doesnt matter if you got a *newer* 1.06 patch or the *original* one, as either will put in the new hotkeys.txt file automatically.

Bahger Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Matt (or anyone), can you specify a particular mirror whose patch content does not have to be modified as directed in the 1.06 Readme? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well, the modification is simple, just delete the old hotkeys.txt file before you apply the patch but I know for sure that Strategy Informer, AusGamers, The Patches Scrolls, Fangaming and Gamershell all have told me that they are now mirroring the new version.
