the patch won't install

No update done since file contents do not match. Can som1 tell me how to overcome that problem? I have the same problems as the other people on this forum and i read that you need the patch in order to play the other game modes. Is this problem caused by a pirate copy of the game or vista? Reinstalling the game is not an option for me cuz i lost the cd. Anyway your mod is perfect and i enjoy playing it!

That path is created by the installation, but it might be possible to reproduce it. I will see if I can find the time to make a new installation of it (since I do have the CD) and copy the registry path over to you, pasting it here. You might also want to look at the troublshooting guides for HW2 at http://forums.relicnews.com/forumdisp...y.php?f=14 king-o'da'bigfile

So what should I do now?
