Patching the game
All games prior to Universal Combat Collectors' Edition, require the downloaded patch file to be copied into the game install folder and executed from there. If you execute the patch from anywhere else (e.g. downloaded to your desktop), it will not apply correctly and you will have problems.
Some of our games have an Updater. Running this updater ensures that the correct patch is downloaded and applied. However, there are times when you need to apply the patch manually. In which case, you should follow the guidelines above.
When using the Updater, the downloaded patch file is stored in your game install folder. So you can copy it to a safe place in case you need to re-install it at a later date.
The Updater patcher updates the game's version in the SETTINGS.INI file after a patch has been downloaded and applied successfully.
If you wish to use the Updater to rollback to a previous game version, you can do the following.
- Quit the game and open the SETTINGS.INI file in Notepad
- Change the version= value to the previous patch version e.g. version=1.00.03.01 to version=1.00.03
- Save the file
- Run the Updater
Note that if you set the version to a non-existent patch version, the Updater will fail to locate it and then abort the process with an error message.
