Hi all,
A friend of mine, PeterDumpTruck and I are trying to patch the game and play on GameRanger. We were both recently hit with a wave of nostalgia and would love to play a few games. Some of you may even remember us if you were active on Gamereplays.org.
Currently we are on 0.0604 and can't seem to get the 0.0704 update to patch. We are able to launch/play alone but unable to play together on GameRanger. GameRanger launches the game, loads the lobby, we both enter, the game starts and we disconnect ~30s into the match.
Thank you for any help.
EDIT:
I have successfully installed the patch. I found this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX66ugmjsgo. The command prompt part worked for me!
EDIT 2:
We have successfully got GameRanger working again. After installing the patches via edit 1 we found out there was one more compability problem. Apparently a lot of old Microsoft games require Microsoft XML (MSXML) 4.0 to run online play. We followed the steps on this webpage to install the latest package:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15697
After installing we were able to stay connected on GameRanger!
