vista after first patches ??

Unread post by capthavoc » Thu Dec 20, 2007 2:28 am

hello great to see this forum back online

vista is giving me trouble setting up again i needed to reinstall
the game is ok with getting use to admin right but ok

After i installed the da sabre addon the game version keep sticking to version 1.11 ? on both end i havent tried the no cd patches yet

I seem to remember there is a smaller patch  to get it up to 1.12 ???

wow your fast  :shock:

but the no cd patches did the trick thnx heaven

i could remember the sabre add on does simply patch it up to 1.11 at leats that is showing in vista  at first

the patch just told me all was already patches 

and installing the no cd patches was the trick to get it up to 1.12 haven,t played yet but that is next  step

ok i need to reinstal and work on the order of install  i geuss
i used the no cd patches they worked fine on getting the version number right.
even before i patched with the smal patch

but
i guess this is the order

instal hd2
run it one time create profile etc 
install sabre
run the small 1.12 upgrade

Next issue

Since i cannot setup a game in the game itself
is there a shortcut to setting up a server ?

i stil have the router issue but  i like to see if i can get a server simply running

Go into your hd2/profile folder there should be the serverlist.bin witch made crashes since arround 6 months. Well it seems that IS will not fix that. However if you made an empty readprotected serverlist it´s fixed. If you don´t know how to do that you can use this fix http://www.hidden-and-dangerous2.com/do ... ile_id=310

Ok that worked but one thing
I cannot see the coop mission in the menu 
where i wanna create a  server
in fact  they are the only maps i play so how can i fix that ?
i seem to be able to play and join but not host  angry01

i cannot find them in serverlauncher either

i did the fix but should i manually be able to get it right ?

If installed missions are missing in the hostmenue, the mpmaplist might not be updated.
The serverlauncher should be stored in your hd2 folder
