Most complicated patch instructions....EVER!

[Pindar]

I did create a folder especially for the patch, exactly as instructed in the 'read me'.

This is what I did. I created a folder on my desktop. I saw there was an extract "part" (for lack of proper vocabulary) amoung the files now in the spiffy new folder which I clicked and it installed something (I think). But, what about all the other stuff (the files and RAR things) that are there in this folder I created?

(D)o you think my game is now patched?

This is my question.

Another question: where are the two files that need to be deleted (assuming I actually patched the game)?

[Parmenion]

I did run the setup.exe - it was one of the files on my desktop (my little experience in IT taught me that the .exe file was the money file).
Was that all that I needed to do?

Pindar, I searched for the two files to delete, I believe they are in the Tools folder somewhere - check the 'read me' for more details.

Hi Parmenion,

My tools folder only has an Unpacker folder. Inside that folder is another Unpacker and List_Contents "file".

[Pindar]

Are the two files that need deleting only a factor if one updates the "unpacker"? Is the unpacker separate from the patch itself or does one need to do both? I can't find the files to delete and wonder if they only appear after unpacking as it were.

They're only if you use the unpacker.

The unpacker is not really part of the patch, it's just a tool for modders that the patch happens to install.

Wth.....i just got the game two hours ago and i downloaded the patch from a mirror somewhere "miitw_p_update1_en" and all i had to do is run the patch and it it patched the game just fine ....or did it?

[Parmenion]

Pindar,
Sorry dude but I'm at work and I can't check my PC for you.

Anyway, what Musashi said is right. I think if we ran the 'setup.exe' we did good, and can forget about the unpacker.

Parmenion.

I agree that this wasn't the most friendly of patching procedures, especially when compared to the previous TW patches. However, we did get the unpacker goodness, so I'm not complaining, but I do sympathise with the folks who are not especially computer literate.

With hindsight, maybe CA could have released the patch and unpacker as separate downloads rather than in one? I realise this could have lead to a different set of confused people than the ones we see here though...

Yes - to clear this up, you're patched if you've run setup.exe, and the splash screen/installer have come up (with the usual 'next' and 'cancel' buttons).

You're not patched if you've just extracted the archive - go and execute setup.exe
