Aralez Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Here the readme (from the already available patch at cenega): UFO: Aftermath Patch 1.3==================================== This patch addresses the following issues: - More variable statistics of the enemies - The Reticulans Stealth and Observation is decreased. - Enable sounds for non-player units when they are hit or die. - Fixed some animation problems. - Collapsible weapons can deployed by kneeling: Order the soldier with collapsible weapon to kneel down (it was not previously possible as he carries a heavy armour) and he will deploy the weapon. You can then order him to attack as you see fit. - Saved games in Save/Load dialogue are ordered by real-world date - The mind-control can be canceled by pressing Ctrl+C - The target area can always be reached in outdoor missions - Some weapon stats are modified - Fixed pseudo-random crash-bug in strategic game, plus various minor bug-fixes. - Added support for modding tools. - Fixed problems with Matrox Parhelia videocard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Check your registry for these keys and remove if need. Patches should install properly after such a clleanup. It's better to reinstall all of them. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ALTAR\UFOAftermath]"patch1_2"=hex:ff"patch1_1a"=hex:ff"patch1_3"=hex:ff [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ALTAR interactive\UFO Aftermath\1.2] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ALTAR interactive\UFO Aftermath\1.3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matri Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I have a suggestion, but you will hate it. Find the game's CLSID in the registry and delete them. Then find the directory with the same CLSID somewhere on your HD and delete that as well. I hate CLSIDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Uh, this is only if you are trying to reinstall and it won't let you because it thinks it's already installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackAlmaz Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 aha thats the problem...where can i find them.... i dellited all the regestry files and anything to do with it...... Where are CLSID in the system....wondows?? programfiles??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigget Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 If you abort the installation before it completes it fails to remove the changes its already done. This is a bug. All you can do is uninstall and reinstall, and patch it again. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raion Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 As far as I am concerned here, the 1.2 patch and the 1.3 patch both give error messages at the end. The patches still work, though, and are in the game, but now, with the version 1.3 patch for US/UK, it will state that the Incorrect data version is in the game, and start with a question to continue. I have ignored these questions and start the game, and it states that it is version 1.3. I think it is just something wrong with the patches, and left a message at the other place from Cenega. I see nothing that could have went wrong, and deleted Altar out of the registry, after uninstalling and before re-installing, and although maybe I missed something, the game has worked fine for now. Oh, it may be something also simple like making the gamedata.vfs file read-only in the Properties, since now it is an archive file only. I have not tried that yet, so I will.

Koloth Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Greetings, I've installed 1.3 (US version) and I've noticed a couple strange things. And, now to think of it I'm not sure I installed 1.2... Wierdnesses: o Grays in my squad don't speak. They appear to move their mouths but I get no sound. o When I lose a soldier, the "We've lost a unit" message sounds "alien" In all other respects the game appears to run normally and I've got the new "alien oponent" sounds that v1.3 added. Would the update let me install 1.3 without having installed 1.2? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I'm sure I read that you have to install all the patches in order for it to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I believe Pete is right. Why don't you try that, and report back to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloth Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Okay. I reinstalled from nothing and now I've started a new game and I'm working on getting back to the point where I have the friendly greys... I put my old game in also and the greys in it still don't talk. More when I know more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloth Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Well, I've got the friendly greys again and again, no sound out of them. Did I also mention that when I lose a soldier I get an alien sounding voice that says, "Our unit has been lost.". Is that normal in 1.3 ? I guess I can live with silent greys. I've had no crashes as long as I run as a user without a lot of other stuff loaded in XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 The friendly aliens is a bug in 1.3. Don't know about the sounds and so on though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
