Patch compatability for RoP downloaded from Steam

[BenHur]

Hi,

I just got the game via Steam.
I applied the patch directly on the game but now after the launch, I've got critical error.

...
23:31:51 (Reporting) TListUnitDefs.Create 1975 UnitDef loaded, out of 1975 UnitDef files in 12090 ms
23:31:51 [Critical ] UnitDefs.CheckDatas The entry 24 Bateaux has an erroneous UID
23:31:51 [Critical ] UnitDefs.CheckDatas The entry 25 Bateaux has an erroneous UID

The Steam gamers must wait until the patch is delivered by Steam servers ?
If yes, do you know if the patch will be available before the week-end ?
(As the patch erase saved games, I want to start and save in order to play again after)

Thanks for all,

Regards,

Benjamin

Clearly something did not work correctly with the patch, as your log indicates 1975 Units, where there should be only 1007. The crash is 'duplicate UID' from the first duplicated file it found.

I don't know if Steam puts any read/write protection on or something like that, but that is my guess [the patch deletes some files, the writes new ones. Often the file names are changed....]

Have you asked Steam these questions?

It seems that I must wait until the patch is delivered by Steam.
Do you know when it will be done ? Few days ?

I will delete and redownload the game via Steam but as the patch erased saved game... I will just start playing.

Thanks for your fast reply

have you been able to locate your Rise of Prussia - Steam installation? The best way if yes is to duplicate the game to another place and patch it to your heart's content.

We are trying to get in touch with the Steam team.

Yes Pocus : it's under steamapps/ressources
I will try your method tonight at home.
