Problems updating RV under Windows 8

[HirooOnoda]

I will try this tonight on my system - I just picked up a windows 8 desktop and still need to setup my JTS/HPS games there.

I don't know if you've tried this but one other option: open the game update (usually it's a zip file despite it's ".exe" extension) and then manually drag everything into your game directory and see if that works (may require an independent Zip program).

I would also try just moving the entire game directory to another location on the hard drive and then try the update (I keep move mine to the root of the D: drive). Doing this won't break the game.

Seems as though you should get a warning message too: the system should throw up a warning about overwriting a file (unless the updater is programmed to avoid that).

The main problem is I can't even unzip the update with RV already loaded on my computer.

I'm sure the next suggestion from HPSsims is "Unzip the update prior to installing the game."

There is something wrong here if that is the advice I will get.

Thank you for the thought though. It's very frustrating.
