STU_Snake 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 My problem is that whenever i go to play online, it says that I only have version 1.2.0.0, but i have the game patched to 1.4.0.0, and the games that I am compatable with, when i enter and the game tries to start, it only tells me "Windows has detected and error in Ghost Recon.exe" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pave Low 16 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Q. Did you're GR come bundled with an MSI video card ? Q. Are you using any kind of modified exe (IE: a [Thing that should not be spoken of here IAW Forum Rule 3.7] version) ? Q. When you start GR on the main menu screen the number in the bottom right corner says, 1.4 ? Q. Have you moved any of the GR folders to a different location since it was originally installed ? Q. Did you install in this order: GR, DS, IT, Patch 1.4 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Q. Are you using any kind of modified exe (IE: a [Thing that should not be spoken of here IAW Forum Rule 3.7] version) ? If you use one of these, the game doent update the .exe, but everything else. Hence, you download and install v1.4, but your were using a v1.2 [Thing that should not be spoken of here] , so the game thinks its still running 1.2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STU_Snake 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 I bought the game retail gold edition, and it did not come with and cards of sort. And other than uninstalling and reinstalling a few times, i havent moved any folders. And i installed it gr, it/ds, patch ver 1.3.5.0, 1.4.0.0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NYR_32 6 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 OK with the GR Gold editon all you should have to do is install from both CD's..... the Gold Edition comes patched to 1.4... you don't need to install any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 What I would do at this point is completely uninstall GR Gold Edition, clean the entries from the Registry using the method outlined below, and just re-install the Gold Edition. It will patch itself. If you are having a problem removing Ghost Recon so you can reinstall it, try this and see if it helps: From the Start Menu, click Run and type in "regedit" (without the quotes) then left click "OK". Following the next set of instructions requires you to left-click the "+" sign to the right of the proceeding directories to expand them: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Red Storm Entertainment (right-click on the folder Ghost Recon, left-click "delete" and accept the removal message) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> App Paths (right-click on the folder GhostRecon.exe, left-click "delete" and accept the removal message) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Uninstall (right-click on the folder that starts.. {D89EF3B3-.. }, left-click "delete" and accept the removal message) Close the Registry Editor and reinstall Ghost Recon, then any expansion packs (if applicable). This should get you back on track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STU_Snake 0 Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Thanks, but will this help me be accepted into the 1.4.0.0 rooms? I was told that before and it didn't work, but i'll try it again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 It should as long as you have the required mods and expansion packs for the servers that are running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
