Amix1 Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Next I have downloaded Patch 1.4 a zilion times tried to install it with no succes! ( I do not have "Island Thunder" it is my understanding it is not necessary to have as long as Patch 1.3 is added to the game. I would gratly appreciate any help to resove this issue. As, i have also tried to play the game on line, but could not do it without having patch 1.4. Thanks for all suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pave Low Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 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, what does the number in the bottom right corner say ? 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, Patch 1.3, Patch 1.4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only own GR and installed Patch 1.3. I do not have DS or IT. Question: Why can't I play on line with only having the 1.3 Patch? Thanks for your response.

Crimson Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 (edited) First off, most of the servers out there require DS and IT. Second off, when went from version 1.0 to 1.3. There is a 1.2. So, if your not going to get DS and IT, uninstall GR and delete the main folder. Reinstall GR, then get the 1.2 patch, then 1.3, then 1.4. Then you just have to find a server thats not using DS and IT. Edited August 3, 2003 by Crimson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortran Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 (edited) amix, i have released a repacked version of the 1.3 and 1.4 patches, due to the exact reason you have stated. I too had an original copy of GR and it just would not update, for absolutley no reason at all. These new repacked patches will install no question on your machine. As people here have stated, you can still play on 1.0.0.2 AND 1.3 version servers, but im sure we have all noticed that there are distinctly more 1.4 servers out there. Anyway, hopefully, ghostrecon.net and modheads.net will be hosting these 2 repacked patches within the next few days, so keep your eyes open for them, I guarantee they will update your Ghost Recon with no problems. In the meantime, if you want more info, check this thread.... http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php...t=ST&f=3&t=7789 Edited August 4, 2003 by Fortran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amix1 Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 Thank you for the good news. I am looking forward to the release of these modified versions. By the way, how will I be able to identify these rewamped patches? Also, I have been searching for Patch 1.2 but no luck finding it yet. ( Thank you much.

Amix1 Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 I have attempted to download the above patches 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. I have experienced the following new problems:. 1.) Download just stopped about half way and froze my PC. I had to abruptly shut down the computer and start all over again. 2.) If and when patches did download completely, than when atempting to open (or activate) the file received the following message: "THE CONTENT OF THIS FILE CANNOT BE UNPACKED. THE EXECUTABLE YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO RUN HAS BEEN CORRUPTED. TRY DOWNLOADING IT AGAIN. Well, I have spent a whole day going at it! Frustrated as one can be. I sure would appreciate some good suggestions. Thanks in advance, Amix1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
