I just don't know what i have to do to get these patches to work? I've tried everything!
The readme file that comes with the game says that Rise of Legends doesn’t install with Windows XP SP2.
I didn't want to uninstall SP2 so i left it running, and installed ROL anyway. The game installed and ran no problem. I just can't get it to update!
Every time i try and download (with a dial up connection) i get the dreaded error message:
invalid patch: Retal-0606.1401.0002-0608.0901.0000.RTP
I've tried downloading maybe 8 times now going through the online section and also the check for updates. Every time i get the same message. That file is the last update the big file.
I downloaded 7 of the 8 patch files from: Now when i get that error message 0606.1401.0002-0608.0901.000.RTP i noticed the same file when i checked it on my hard drive, was only 10mb instead of being the 73mb. So obviously i get cut off before i download the complete file. I read on some of the other topics here that people will send you the patch file and to use the updater. So i then tried replacing the 0606.1401.0002-0608.0901.000.RTP file with the one i downloaded from the website which was the full 73mb and then run the updater. Nothing happens. I see the updater flash on the screen for a split second and that’s it nothing updates. Could this be from Windows XP SP2? Is anybody else running ROL with the updates with XP SP2 or is everybody running windows XP SP1? I also have Rise of Nations Thrones and Patriots and that updates no problem just ROL. People’s solution here seems to be keep trying and trying and you might get lucky, so by that it seems there could be a problem with the server or something. It's driving me insane. I tried contacting bighugegames a couple of times by email but no reply. [This message has been edited by astro_boy77 (edited 10-08-2006 @ 00:59 AM).]
