Great success!

But what exactly was changed and what does this fix?

Also, have the installers been updated?

 

O.O It said that Version 2.1 wasn't out but youv'e gone ahead to 2.11? Lol you cheeky git :D (In a good way..)

 

2.1 was released yesterday.

I had to re-upload the hotfix as there was a problem with it. If you downloaded it within the first hour of it being posted, redownload it.

 

still hl2 crashin.

AppName: hl2.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: materialsystem.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000aad6

 

Downloading now.

 

Will this install cleanly over the original 2.11?

 

I downloaded this hotfix, now the game just won't launch at all
edit: nevermind, restarted steam a couple of times and its fixed

 

So if we downloaded it before you posted we need to redownload? Because I downloaded it about an hour after you posted, and everything seems fine... So i'm not sure if I have an evil bug waiting to kill me, or if I downloaded the right one.

 

If it's working fine, don't worry about it. The problem was that when you switched to a new level and tried to use the eng kit to place something, it would crash.

 

Glad to hear you fixed the map loading crash, I'll download and see if it works.

I was becoming depressed because I couldn't play empires.

 

same depressions, but it didnt crash for me (yet) after redownloading

 

awsome , played 2 hrs without crashing , cool, excellent work Big K




Although some vista peeps still seem to be havin probs.

 

here is a massive slap:



to all those who have access to the 2.1 beta and DIDN'T go on the server to test it because they couldn't be bothered. problems like this are YOUR fault. Krenzo can't personally test the game for hours like we need to.

 

Private it's a pain in the arse to constantly rename Empires it should be said that everyone uses something like "EmpiresRC" for the folder name and most of the testers would come.

 

It is actually. I agree.

Krenzo, you should also make it easier on the testers by making the test builds a different name. It will help.

It's not a great excuse, but it is true.

 

It takes 1 minute to shut down steam, rename 2 folders then restart steam again. I did it lots because I was willing to test out the patch. I never found anything wrong, nor did the game ever crash when I was testing.

 

you dont even need to restart STEAM. as long as both folders were there at the time the current copy of STEAM started, and you do an exact name swap, both will still run.

 

I tested 2.1 but it never crashed , mebbe it was rc2 or summat else ,dunno but for me the map was constantly stuck on didtrict so couldnt test many features as no one else was on.................
