BtS causes Version Mismatch in MP + Workaround - Page 4

Apparantly there have been reports of the patch now patching the dual install (i assume this was just people doing it wrong) but to be safe id reccomend zipping it. It's not that much extra time.

I just did it exactly according to Beam's instructions above, and the patch only upgraded the original installation.

And by the way Beam thanks for the instructions, I've pointed several people at it. You might want to amend with the DX10 download though.

So i dual Installed last night, (need both civ4 and warlords to finish mtdg/pbems and stuff), everything was working fine, could use all 4 quite happily. (Patched up also!)

Then this morning i went to play my regular pitboss turns and for some reason only vanilla will load. I try loading Warlords but it says the disk cannot be found, so i go to my computer and it is there, i click on it and up pops the 'play, readme,exit' screen' If i click play then the same happens and i'm told that the disk can no longer be found. This happens on both the unpatched and patched game, any ideas?

did it exactly the way you said beam except install patch and not install BtS.

bc... sounds like maybe a shortcut directing you to the wrong thing?

BCLG100 · 22-07-2007, 14:51

Well thats what i thought but i went in through programs etc and starting it that way but the same happened.

BCLG100 · 22-07-2007, 15:16

Argggg!!!! i just reinstalled warlords and its still not working!

BCLG100 · 22-07-2007, 15:52

Well it just goes from better to better, i uninstalled everything. Now the bastarding vannilla civ4 wont install, if its not a DL error its a 'data cab:2' one!

BCLG100 · 22-07-2007, 16:07

ok it means my civ4 cd= fucked. Guess that means i have to shell out another twenty quid for another one!

try cleaning it. look for smudge marks or other gunk. I've had the same problem with C3C and I fixed it by cleaning it.

BCLG100 · 22-07-2007, 17:14

oh its fucked, scratched to buggery but it was playing the games so i hoped it would allow me to reinstall.
