WhiteKnight77 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I did try it out and no go on that particular trick as you siad OG, but on the second page of that thread there is another link that shows some promise.

Zebb Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I didnt even realise that they had released the first patch..... http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=40...43&m=6781003403 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el nino foxhound Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 BTW, does anyone have any idea what ports to open for the game? ← For hosting I think you mean? TCP/18000 UDP/17997 UDP/18001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Geezer Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I did try it out and no go on that particular trick as you siad OG, but on the second page of that thread there is another link that shows some promise. Read the rest of it. ← That's the dll fix I had mentioned (the directx override + crack). I had actually dowloaded the app just to check it out and the dll file was only a few kilobytes whereas the dll of the same name in windows folder is a meg or two...so I thought it looked fishy and deleted it. Maybe the one linked in that thread is different -I dunno. I have used modded directs x and opengl dll files in game directories before though (most progs will check in their own directory for the dll before looking in windows for some reason), so the technique sounds credible.

WhiteKnight77 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I haven't patched yet and am leary of going that route though. Yes el nino foxhound, I was meaning the ports for hosting and MP playing and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebb Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I patched and didnt have any issues WK, but then again i installed it with no problems which when you read some of the horror stories is a miracle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Second patch now(1.2) I've had some CTD's but that was moving crew around when too tired. happened twice. Still I'm on Patrol 23 with the famous U-96,started in 39 and now midsummer of 42.....the ships including the small merchants now pack deck guns!!! Destroyers are far far more aggresive,I've now lso started using the new "accoustic" torpedoes,trouble is I always seem to find that bumper convoy off the SW Coast of Ireland..........and it's always a storm!! I like to pick them off with the deck gun too. I'm hooked big time on this game,it's just a pity you don't have ships and Subs in the Pens at your home port!!

WhiteKnight77 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 My install went without a hitch too. The only problem I had was seeing to many characters in the key and entering it that way. I kept getting a invalid key message. I double checked everything and even triple checked, but still the same. I emailed the Starforce log to them and they pointed out my error with a red character. Once I removed the offending character, the game booted right up. I do have the nVidea UZO/bino bug though when looking forward to 50 degrees either way, but once past 50 degrees can see everything clearly with the particle setting at 71. So far so good. I like what I see. I was trying out a single mission with a convoy and heard the glass breaking on the dials as I was passing crush depth while trying to avoid being depth charged and was amazed at the effects of them breaking. I hadn't figured out how to adjust my depth yet (I know how to know). Argyll, you will have to join us, once I get up to speed, in some wolfpack operations.

Zebb Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Yep, i have that UZO/Bino bug as well, but i have added a couple of the mods to help in other areas such as the clearer compass image and the nav/charts addons which are all really useful.
