Supreme Cmdr Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 This patch is just an interim which addresses several critical issues. Because it is not a final patch, it has an expiration date. The final patch will be released prior to the date expiring. Send all premature expiration notices to [email protected] .The patch is on the downloads page There are some oddities with marines on the planet surface related to CD and them flying without jetpacks. Thats what was WIP prior to my decision to release this.The VCF is also included in the patch.Comments welcome - but NO bug reports in this thread please.[ 11-22-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cschoch Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Negative...I click continue and...Nothing happens. Argh...Whatever. Can't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandal Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 Hmmm I tinkered with it a little bit, tried entering the serial number provided and hitting unlock, gave me a blank error message, so I gave up and hit continue. Works great except for that annoying font now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, you send in the serial number and I send you an unlock code. But this is not necessary since the patch remains unlocked until 11/26.What font? That unlock screen has NOTHING to do with BCM. It is a completely separate wrapper (like SafeDisc) which is executed prior to BCM actually running.

The game will not load now (It was playing fine prior to the patch). SC, please help.1. This is the last time I'm telling you to add your specs to your sig.2. If the game no longer works, it has nothing to do with the patch - especially if you installed and uninstalled. The patch is just an EXE. Did you wipe out the folder when you uninstalled?

Actually the font I was referring to does not pertain to the wrapper, I posted earlier about actual in game fonts in the General Issues Thread.

Meldan Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 You MUST have DirectX 8.1 to use the patch.If you apply the patch, run bcm.exe and nothing happens, install DirectX 8.1 and that should fix the problem.Meldan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted November 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Once againThis patch REQUIRES Direct X 8.1You do NOT need an unlock code. Simply press the CONTINUE button to proceed. This patch has an expiration date in order to inform you that it is an interim patch. The final patch will be out prior to expiration.If the patch prematurely expires (which has been known to happen, even when we used it in the Beta), simply write down the serial number displayed on the dialog screen and send to [email protected] along with your CDKEY from the CDROM Tyvex sleeve. You need to send in BOTH of these numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KreKol Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Mine prematurely ejaculated....Oops,I mean expired. Sent the required info to [email protected] and got a automated message sent back to me. Not a big deal. I can wait three days for the new patch. Update: Code was sent to me in a new e-mail. My bad.
