PON Public Beta Patch 1.01h (updated June 30)

[Nikel]

I am having a weird Windows & problem following instructions on the beta patches and thought maybe you could help as you so kindly do for many here.

I am a Mac guy - run a Bootcamp partition with Win7 for games so I don't do any file management stuff on it.

My problem - when I try to copy VGN folder after it asks if I want to replace and etc. and I say yes for all, it then tells me it will take many hours and the processor starts heating up and the fans starting firing away with very slow copying one file at a time. I've done similar copy/replace in the past on huge folders and it took minutes at most.

I don't get it and consequently have not been able to update PoN or play.

Any ideas? Thanks

It will take some time because there are tens of thousands of files. Perhaps is your antivirus checking the process?

Did you delete the folders

Aliases

Events

FrontEnd

GameData

of the original installation before copying the new files?

Er.... yep!

I guess the patch file was corrupted, should be 158 MB (166.293.713 bytes)

Yes, looks like the zip file I ended up with was incomplete, either the original download or the extraction failed to work properly.

I have just gone through the whole thing with a new zip file/extracted files and the game has now started up okay...

any info in which time we can expect another unofficial (or oficial ) patch ?

[PhilThib]

Most likely next week, if we don't submerge Pocus with bugs and work when he is back from vacation

I was wondering if we could get this thread stickied? Then there would be an Official thread for Pride of Nations patches.

would be highly desirable,

but i suggest if you want to open an "OFFICIAL" thread for patches, open a NEW (but still public) one, where no one but Phil and Pocus or their aide-de-camp make any posts.

unless you want the same mess like at the PARADOX forum where people know, there is a new patch, but where the heck it is hidden in all this comments, or download the next visible patch for eyes are bigger than the hunger for bug-fixes

as Pocus corrected my partially wrong impression and even added the BETA patch, he made my simple advise to kind of official thread

wish a nice an sunny weekend to all

PS:

why we dont have a thread about the nomination for the golden joystick here...

jesus, everything needs to be quoted by the gamers themselves
