EB v0.81a Hotfix released

**Schatten** · 03-06-2007, 15:00

hmm..i have even install the (zip) patch and it works fine atm...i have now year 193 roman campaigne, my save game works and no crash...patch is working since i have now in the other 5 Italian City´s Principes that were not recruitable before (polybian reforms atm) so i think its working even with savegames that were made before.

I have just finished installing (on a fresh RTW1.5/BI1.6) the EB0.81 + Patch0.81a. Running the patch took a long time, most of which it was "removing files". Now I look into my EB/Data folder and see that there are only the following files:

descr_model_battle.txt
descr_rebel_factions.txt
descr_settlement_plant.txt
export_descr_buildings.txt
export_descr_unit.txt

And only the following sub-folders:

loading_screen
menu
scripts
text
UI
world

Which is obviously missing a whole load of important stuff. The music files for example.

Good morning EBers

just some additional info

I found that post the 0.81a hotfix - if I reinstalled 0.81 over the top - the game strats working again fine - v0.81 of coarse - so I would agree the 0.81a installer appears to be removing certain 0.81 files, files added as part of the 0.81 install it would seem.

just doing what I can to fill in the blanks

keep up the good work

I used the zip-file. 0.81a works wonderful!

Just a little note - to be absolutely sure the hotfix itself worked, I checked a battle in-game, and my KH general is now with a unit of spartans (which I definitely did not have in the build earlier), so I'm 100% sure that it worked fine with me.

I'm convinced this an installer issue. Why is a shortcut to the FAQ page created? Also, my version EB081 patch shortcut disappears. I have to access the game thru the older EB08 shortcut. I believe this is directing you to the wrong place or something as critical data lines are missing etc. How do I create my own shortcut to the EB081a hotfix version? I'm not an expert, but i think this may have something to do w/problem...thx

Heh, my test too

Link to the FAQ but no link to .81a makes sense to me.
Many people have issues & don't read the FAQ then post topics "how do I <X that is in the FAQ>"
No new shortcut is made because the link to .81 created by the .81 installer is still valid, its still essentially .81 but with hotfixes added.

I'm wierded out by this whole installer deleting many files thing... didn't do it to me

The team gets a HUGE number of repeat questions, most of which are answered in the FAQ. So the Hotfix is designed to drop a link to the FAQ on your desktop, in the hope that people will be more inclined to consult it.
