hi, just downloaded t3a and all patches for my recently bought bfme 1

 

i see the game called xvx going on now with spaces, i try to join but it says "failed, the game is a different version"

 

i'm certain that i have all patches up to 1.05. what the problem?

[Mathijs]

Did you install 1.03 before installing 1.05?

[bobjim]

not sure, i think simultaneously so probably in order.

I had a similar issue.

 

I installed the game from disk, then applied 1.05 directly with the t3a online patch. And couldn't join games. I then went back and installed 1.03 first, then re-applied 1.05 and then it worked for me

Yes, for the original bfme disc installation:

1) Install the game normally

2) install the official 1.03 patch

3) install the T3A server patch

4) install 1.05 patch by moving the patch files into the main installation directory and replace existing ones.

 

Try out and report back.

i shall have to do this at a later time, thank you thus far.

I have installed 1.03 and then 1.05 with success. But what if I want to go to 1.04 version to watch replays that were played in that version? Does the patch switcher from this guy here (big bravo to whoever he is btw and to you guys)

get me to 1.04, although I never installed it(and even if i want to, where is the 1.04 version? I only find 1.03 and 1.05)

 

Or is there another better way.

[Mathijs]

From what I've heard you have only remove the _patch1.05.big from your installation folder to watch replays. The game will tell you they're not compatible but you can watch them anyway.

So I read that good players play important matches in 1.04 

 

Is it another patch? Or they just remove the _patch1.05.big

It is another patch, yeah.

they remove the _patch105.big AND replace the game.dat with the game.dat for 1.04.

You'll also need the _patch104.big file in the directory, of course.

I think I am getting the hang of it.

 

It's heartwarming to see that this game is alive after so long

[Phil]

they remove the _patch105.big AND replace the game.dat with the game.dat for 1.04.

 

Is that actually necessary? Does the game really mismatch on different game.dat checksums?

[ICT]

As far as I noticed, yes.

[Goldtouch]

Thats correct game.dat does trigger an mismatch when its different
