Thread: Need some help please with these updates?

  1. #1

    Unhappy

    I don’t get this, I have never had problems updating any of my copys of OFP. First off.
    Doses OFP Cold war need to be updated to 1.47 before running the Resistance instillation?

    Also, someone keeps telling me that the 1.90 resistance update is a separate update from the update for the original game cold War. I told him that all you need is 1.90 which I thought updates everything if you run the game from the Resistece Icon.
    Anyway I’m getting an error when trying to run the OFP1.46 right after installing all three disks. the error is saying that there is something wrong with the mission files. These disks are in perfect shape and have always worked.
    Can someone please list the Instillation order as well as list the order to install Updates? ....Like this for example:

    1. Install OFP Cold war
    2. Install OFP Red Hammer
    3. Run 1.46 Patch
    4. Install OFP Resistance
    5. Run 1.90 Patch?

    Is that order correct?

    any version of ColdWarCrisis works ok with Resistance installation.

    for cold war crisis, highest version is 1.46


    and yes, 1.90 update is for Resistance, not for Cold war crisis.

    and your order is correct.

    Yes, it seems you are right about the order I’ve posted above

    I just reinstalled everything with out errors. I have the gold CD. So basically the 1.46 patch must be applied “Before” running the Resistance instillation CD.
    I’m a little disappointed that BIS did not mention anything about the order in the manual or on their web site. Sorry but I think its total BS. I would have made my life so much easer if they would have at least put something in the read me files about the order of instillations.
    Anyway, I still don’t know what the heck is going on with the Mission wizard’s templates not loading, in reference to my other post

    Ya but the question was not what I need, but rather what order these files need to be installed. Apparently when you look at their web site, they have these little arrows next to the descriptions pointing to the right. I just didn’t know them little arrows was a way for BIS of indicating the order in which to install everything (that includes patches).
