So I came back to Mental Omega 2.0 just for nostalgia reasons and proceeded to follow the instructions of how to install it...
The thing is, when I booted up the game using the launcher, the thing on the bottom right side of the screen says "2.0psi P2 | 1.001" instead of "2.0psi P2 | NPSE"

So I thought, my game folder must have something it didn't want during the installation process so I reinstalled the entire thing (The First Decade Edition ) and redid the installation process...

It still displayed the same problem.. the installation was fresh and did a cleanup just in case something might have snuck into the game folder.

I checked NPatch Manager and it does confirm that "NPatch Special Edition" version "1.05.0022" is installed....

The game works fine really, it's just that Yuri/Epilson is not selectable and the enemy AI spams vans like there's no tomorrow ( This spam goes into a whole new level on Meteor Shower )

Is there any help I could get to get this version to work?

Wasn't TFD's YR exe edited? NPatch doesn't work with edited exes (i don't know why it tells you that it's installed, though).

The TFD YR exe works with NPatch, it was only hexedited to check for the TFD disc instead of the WW one. RP 1.08 was the first such patch with TFD support. I remember having 2.0a broken for months (also hackish in country ordering with PsiCorps staying at it's original place, before some Soviet countries to allow Yuri playable on installs w/o RP support) because of having TFD and 1.08 coming late.

IIRC NPatch only stands from NPatch.mix and gamemd.exe, so I'd rename the former and see what it says then. Although myself I haven't used that thing for a decade.

So I am not sure about the instruction...

Do I rename both .mix and .exe and find out?

No, just NPatch.mix then launch the NPatch Manager to see if it reports again itself as installed.

As you might have noticed, none of us knows what might be the issue. :p

Try to uninstall NPatch and install it again. If it's a regular TFD installation, NPatch really shouldn't give you problems...

Do you have a chinese version of TFD (if there is such), or did you have some chinese mod in that directory before?

You could try uninstalling YR and RA2, removing their folder (you didn't mention removing the folder last time you reinstalled, so i assume you didn't remove it), then reinstalling and applying NPatch afterwards. If it's a botched installation, leftover files, or a botched exe, it will fix it.
Otherwise, i don't really know what might be the case here...

Tried all things I could do to uninstall it, removing the folder, removing the registry files etc.

Somehow, NPatch that was included in other mods worked perfectly (They were installed with the mod, there wasn't any separate file to install it with)
I also tried copying in the Npatch files plus the exe into the folder I want to play Mental Omega 2.0 with, didn't work...
Tried playing MO 2.0 in the folder where the Npatch worked with other mods, didn't work.

Sad life for me then :(
Thanks for the help though...
