yakling Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I've been trying to install EA patches #3 and 5.. but it won't work. The message that comes up says that an older file cannot be found. Can anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Are you using a no-cd hack/crack/patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenway389 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 nope.. but i already have the 07 mod installed.. could that be the problem? Yup. You have to install the patches before 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim825 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 nope.. but i already have the 07 mod installed.. could that be the problem? That is exactly your problem. When the patch installer runs, it checks to make sure that only EA rosters (and possibly other files) are installed. If it cannot find the files (like in your case, since you're patching on top of the 07 mod), the error message will be displayed. The proper way to install mods is: 1. Start with a clean install 2. Install desired MVP patches 3. Install mod There is a way to get around this: 1. Copy your existing rosters to a new folder. 2. Copy the default rosters from your MVP CD to your data database folder 3. Install the patch(es). 4. Copy your saved rosters back to the data database folder. If you still get error messages, you may need to save and copy default versions of some of the other files (models.big, uniforms.big, portraits.big, etc.).

krawhitham Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yup. You have to install the patches before 07. NO 07 deletes all your MVP files and then put them back from the CDs It also patches it to EA #5 when finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
