Files missing when patching...

[Fokkifokki]

I'm one of those guys having serisous problems intalling the new patch. I got the patching failed right from the start, I got the invalid CD-key issue and now of recently I did get the "Crash to desktop" error.

I've unistalled the game, cleared out the registry, installed and patched 1.03 using manual extract of 12 files in the %temp%-folder and using the cmd for running the patch.exe-file.

While patching, I see that there are som files the patch cannot find...something like wt0013 or similar. The report at the end states that aroung 15 files were missing. Is this normal? Does everybody get them? Or could this be the root of one of the patch problems.

Re: Files missing when patching...

I had the same probles that you have. During the manual install (of all the patches in fact, as none worked automatinally) I had some info about missing files, but the game worked for me (that is after I solved the invalid CD Key bug).
