thespungo Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I haven't downloaded any EA patches yet, and after hearing all the hub bub about them lately, I thought i'd give them a try. I tried to download patch number 3, and I got a patch error. Word for word, this is what the patch error said: "Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match." What does that mean? What's going on here? Who's behind this?

Guest Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 lol....what do you mean whos behind it? You've updated your game now the files don't match so you haveta back them up and then replace them w/ old ones ...then put the stuff back in ... then your all set.

thespungo Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 it was a joke. so wait, what do you mean about updating my game? what you're saying is that I copy all my modded files, and then revert back to the original state of the game, install the third patch, and then put all my modded files back in? Is this worth the trouble? Are the patches really this good? Do I need to install all three patches, or just the third one? Will I have to start my dynasty over? Will this work? Aarrrgghhh? Wait, that wasn't a question ... Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/3140-problems-with-the-ea-patches/#findComment-27824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpup Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Have you replaced the default rosters? If so, put the rosters from your disk back into your game and then download the patch. Patch 2 is the only one I would worry about. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/3140-problems-with-the-ea-patches/#findComment-27833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitoon Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 No, you don't have to revert back to all the stock files. It will just be a couple (or three) files causing the problem. Grab on to and move the dialog box showing the error message, and then read in the box behind it which file it is getting hung up on. Replace that file from the original CD and re-run the patch...repeat as needed. I had to replace rookies.big and attrib.dat if I call correctly.

thespungo Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Those all look like great ideas. I just wish I would have read them before I decided to un-install the game, and then re-install it to get all my original files back. maybe you can help me out with that now. http://www.mvpmods.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=27826#27826 Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/3140-problems-with-the-ea-patches/#findComment-27866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
