EB 1.0 is here, but now what?

**Horst Nordfink** · 10-12-2007, 19:43

Now that EB 1.0 is here what do I do? How do I go about deleting my old EB version? Do I need to delete R:TW and install it again? Or just the old EB version?

uninstall RTW, delete the activision folder, restart, install RTW, install patch 1.3, install patch 1.5, install EB.

Sorted. Cheers friend.

I'm going to the pub now, I think I'll leave it downloading while I'm there.

Can't wait!!

Of the patches, I think you only need to install the latest patch and not 1.3. If I am wrong, please tell me. Patches should be cumlative and therefore 1.5 has 1.3 already included. And if you install BI, you just need patch 1.6 and none of the previous patches.

Therefore:
uninstall RTW, delete the activision folder, restart, install RTW, install patch 1.5, install EB 1.0

or

uninstall RTW, delete the activision folder, restart, install RTW, install Barbarian Invasion, install patch 1.6, install EB 1.0, install BI-EB launch exe.

Unfortunatly Pied Piper, and in the nicest way possible, you are wrong. You need to patch to 1.3, and then to 1.5. And 1.4 then 1.6 for BI.

I'm not so certain, Admetos. The way I did it was this:

Install RTW 1.0 (from CD)
Install RTW 1.2 (patch)
Install RTW 1.5 (patch)

Then, install EB.

That wouldn't work. 1.3 was the one that held the big changes, coming with the release of BI and definately needs to be installed unless you have BI (in which case it doesn't).

If you notice, 1.5 is tiny whereas 1.3 is massive. Unless compression rates went up massively, 1.5 does not contain 1.3 also.

Ah, I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing out the errors of my ways Admetos. Although I have had no problems playing with the patch order, I guess I will uninstall/reinstall everything yet again.

I wonder why it is not cumlative then? And I wonder what the difference is as I have not had any problems and been playing with this format with previous EB versions too. But I am glad to know now there is a difference. Thanks again.
