	Patch Still Doesnt Work Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Yep, downloading you can but it WILL NOT install as it gets an error at the 37% mark of installation

Worked ok for me. (disregard my comment at Pantheon :P )

First step I'd try is doing a complete reinstall.

If you have some Anti-virus software running in the background you should probably disable it for the intallation. Otherwise you may have to wait for the patch to be released on fileplanet or something like that.

Over at RON Heaven, Brian Reynolds has stated that it turns out that some of the exes on some of the CDs (mainly european) have a different signature than the update software is expecting.

This causes the update software to crap out.

He says that they're urgently working on a solution.

A patch fix is being put through it's paces and should be up very soon. The actual game exe goes through many, many hands before it's ready for a patch, and we as a global collective were unfortunately caught unprepared when the game hit the shelves early.

Sorry for all the trouble,

If you are using the no-cd crack, the patch wont take either.

Well I have the german version of RoN and also have installation trouble with the new patch. It downloads perfectly but it stops installing after 79% reporting "invalid patch file error" and "Retcode positive -32769"

I dont get the patch...

Whenever it finishes downloading, it never starts the actual patch. Instead, it will sends me to the multiplayer log in for game spy. This is so annoying.

I have tried downloading two times, and gave up. DO any of you know what i can do?

I have the same problem as Strak. I get to 100% and then it goes to the gamespy login prompt. I patched fine the first time I loaded the game. I had to reinstall after an Exception! crash, and havent been able to patch since.

I tried downlading an .rtp file and executing it at the command line, but that didnt work either.

	Got spare money?

For those of you who are trying to get the patch to install manually from the command line, try this:

cd to the directory where RoN is on your system and then enter "rise.exe /patch patch.rtp w".

On another note, the patch will download, but you do have to log into GameSpy for the installation to start. A shortcut for this is in the works for the next patch.

Also, if you have successfully downloaded the patch but the patch has failed to install, please include the contents of the file patch.err. Thanks!

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Graham that worked almost. I got the patching dialog, then at 98% complete, I got a Patch Error that says "Retcode Positive - 32769". I will try again from a fresh reinstall as I have tried patching several other ways before attempting this.

EDIT: It worked! I substituted "patch.rtp" with "RON1801_0902.RTP" in the command above. =)

Here's the contents of my patch.err

"ENTRY: data\rules.xml"

Could this be because I tried to reskin a unit?

probably?

I don't know why you would have changed rules.xml in order to reskin a unit but having changed rules.xml would cause the patch to fail.

If you don't include that very last parameter, nothing will happen. Try adding the "w" add the end of the command line.

	thanks! Inflate your Upload Space

I've tried the 'w', but it doesn't help. Maybe I'm still doing it wrong. I'm about to do a fresh install, I'm confident that it will do the trick. Thanks for your help gents! BTW, off topic, do you plan to update some of the unit skins in future patches? So far the results to make unique skins by modders have failed. Thanks again...
