JTS Moscow '42 Update 1.02 Released

[Strela]

Help!
I tried the new patch but dont work properly.
During the unzip appears an error message which I think says
that the Moscow 42 exe file can not be replaced and the unzip stops.
Then, the game run, but the new terrain graphics are horrible,
with big holes blacks!
The new box graphics works only for germans and the symbols
of the units too show obvious deformity.
I tried the installation procedure of the patch twice, reinstalling the game
in the initial release, but always with the same result.
I look forward to clarification of the problems reported.

Hi,

I have just had this issue reported to me and gone back and checked.

There is an issue when using a clean install (i.e. not patched to version 1.01)

Please do the following (temporarily) while I get John to update the patch.

The issue is that Moscow42.exe is read only and hence can not be overwritten.

Do the following to fix;

Go to Moscow42.exe and right click.
Select properties.
At the bottom of the dialog box should be 'Attributes'
Read-only will be ticked. please untick it.


Try running the patch again. If it runs to conclusion you have fixed the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience I have worked with a patched version the whole time and not gone back and tested the original install.

All,

I have just spoken to John Tiller on this. We're seeing what we can do, but the easiest way to fix this is by deleting Moscow42.exe BEFORE you run the patch.

By doing this there is nothing that the new Moscow42.exe needs to overwrite.

Apologies for the inconvenience, we're seeing whether there is anything we can do to fix this - it appears to only be a problem with the original game installer.
