RE: Patch 2.50

Post by Mike Wood »

Hello...

Should say 2.50. Says that on my copy. Try looking at the verion number under properties. This can be located by right clicking the executable file and selecting properties. The file version there should be 2.5.0.0. If it is not and it says 2.42 on the game screen, something is wrong. Make sure you are not using a short cut which points to the old executable.

Thanks...

Thanks Erik, new installer works fine for me. No serial number needed. However, I did notice version number still reads 2.42 not 2.50 on the game screen.

Sorry, it did not work. [&:]
I installed the Patch (had 2.42 before) and it did not work.
Then I deleted the uv.prfs file patched the game again and it
did not work either.
I reinstalled the game ( CD 2.30) removed the file, patched the
game and all I got was version 2.40.

Any ideas??

I have the same problem, it still showed 2.42 as version number (I updated from 2.42). I then tried to install the patch into an empty directory to see what exe file it includes.
It has an uncommonvalor.bak 2,0,0,30 and an uncommonvalor.exe 2,0,0,40

Maybe I should backup my savegames and reinstall, then upgrade from install version to 2.50. Probably I then have 2.40 ....

Ahh I see (the post above), I'm not the only one with the problem. It looks the patch file is borked, someone integrated the wrong exe version.

I'm glad it's not just me going nuts.  I went looking for the advertised features & couldn't find them. The installed executable has a date stamp of 13Jul05 which makes the probability of it being the latest version rather unlikely.

Awaiting the next installment.......  (good thing I just got broadband!!)

Interesting, the installer obviously won't overwrite a later version of the executable (later than v2.40 in this case...).

Ok, the previous serial check-enabled installer, which I tested, had the right exe. I've just asked production to double-check the new installer. One way or another, we will finally get a working update...

Mike,

I tried running the 2.5 patch again just to make sure but the exe file in my UV folder still says version 2.0.0.42 when I check properties/version. I installed to default directory -> C:/Matrix Games/Uncommon Valor with shortcuts for all users.

Regards,
RedMike

Redownloaded and all is well now. Thanks!!
