Uncommon Valor v2.0 Officially Released!

[bilbow]

I may regret this, but I would be willing to burn the patch (only the patch) on a cd and mail them for anyone really stuck. I think of it as a way to meet new gamers. Always a good thing.

I have broadband, so I was able to download and update in 7 minutes flat, no issues at all. Maybe I feel a little guilty.

e-mail is bbowen@insight.rr.com. I'm in the Columbus OH area.

Hi Guys

The problem is simple the demand for the new patch is very high... so if you can't get on just wait a few hours and try again.

The high load may also be causing the updater to fail with those 'file not found' errors since it appears they are individual files, and each file requires a new request...

For those getting the errors, try getting the file on the downloads section - just set your download manager to wait a couple of minutes between attempts.

Good luck!

An earlier post in this thread mentioned that the TrueUpdate function no longer worked AFTER applying the v2.0 update. I have found this to be true for me also. It appears that the patch couldn't replace start.exe while executing, so it said to choose cancel to replace on next reboot. start.exe is the app with the TrueUpdate link, and it appears that the new app has the TrueUpdate link associated with a file called TrueUpdate.exe, which is nowhere to be found on my hard drive. The actual program was updated to version 2.00 and appears to run fine, but what's up with TrueUpdate?

I found a program in the installation folder (default) that is called Update_UV.exe. This program is the updater, at least the one that I have been familiar with when choosing TrueUpdater from the Game Menu. It works in conjunction with the Settings.ini file to determine which is the latest installation. The Settings.ini file was not updated by the installation of v2.00. If I manually edit the settings.ini file, then it acts okay, but I suspect that the TrueUpdate.exe file is supposed to check the registry to determine the currently installed version. I suspect that the patch either did not contain the TrueUpdate.exe file, or that it failed to install it. Any answers to this?

One important point (that was brought up a long time back) is to go make sure that your device drivers and BIOS versions are all up to date.

I had been having some perfomance issues (before 2.0 and after) unrelated to save games.

Last night, while cooking dinner and returning my moves to Mogami (get your rabbit's foot out buddy ), my laptop threw up on itself, forcing me to reinstall drivers and the like (hey, it wasn't the food! How do you screw up Tombstone and DJourno pizza!?!?) .

For the heck of it, I checked the BIOS and found an upgrade, and applied it as well.

Perfomance is much improved so far, including the new save game compression routine.

UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS AND BIOS!

Gentlemen,
are you really sure, this server works?

I tried to download the file for about 100 times now, at different times, from 7:00 CET to 15:00 CET, and everytime I get the "no anonymous access message". Quite disturbing!

Mr DadMan How do you check the BIOS? I know how to update the video drivers but not the BIOS.
Thanks, Chris

Go to the site of your computer manufacturer (HP/Compaq, Toshiba, etc.) and look in the support or downloads section. If there is a BIOS available that is dated within 6 months of when you bought your system, I'd download it and follow the instructions. That's what I did.

Finally I got the file!!!
