Problems with patching..

[yzi2]

:rant: Hello everyone, after waiting nearly 10 months the patch got realased and when I try to patch my game it says the following thingy:

"This patch updates DoW version 1.00, but you appear to have an unrecognized version installed, please reinstall Dawn of War - Error code 10267"

I tried reinstalling twice, but it didn't work. Also I checked the registry values and they are OK but still the patch won't work.

Any suggestions ? :( :rant:

- yours truly, YziSFHC.

AT YOUR OWN RISK ...

... uninstall the game. make a back up of your registry. manually delete the registry entries. reinstall. patch.

I've had an eariler patch fail for a simialr reason. Removing the registry entries cured the problem. Good luck.

i cannot patch too. but it crash immediately. without giving any reason, i have xp. not vista. they took months to fix the patch. but as a steam SS, it does not work at all.
can you believe it. i am out of action for unknown time.

@ Klinkhamer You mean I must delete Only Soulstorm registry values or ALL ? LOL

If your using a no-cd crack you will need to get an original exe file to install the patch

Moving to tech assistance.

yzi2: he means JUST the Soulstorm entries (if theyre there, uninstalling should remove them). Also delete any files left in the Soulstorm install directory before reinstalling.

Did so but still f*cked up.. Donno what to do, starting to get desperate here..

OK i solved the problem

i reinstall XP
i reinstall ATI driver
i reinstall SS

i start patch

it work first time

i hate you microsoft
i hate you ATI catalyst
i hate you relic

i am going to my mac for loving care.

Reinstalling Windows will fix the majority of software problems you are likely to encounter...but its not something I like to recommend since there are normally less drastic solutions available.

I get an error that says the patch cannot find my Dawn of War directory. Stupid patch, there is no Dawn of War directory... it is just C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War - Soulstorm

Of course, if Ironlore had put an option in the installer so that I could install SS where I wanted it, then it would be in the same directory as all my other DoW games. I guess I'll have to go back and install the other DoW games in the default places?

(Maybe that will kill 2 birds and fix the missing decals for the maps made for DC which were left out of SS?)

[TBS]

Wearbe: the registry value containing the install directory may be missing or incorrect - check.

I'm having the same problem. In my registry I have the following keys:


(Default)
CDKEY
DOWSkirmishAILocation
DXP2CDKEY
InstallLocation


I also have a sub-key name 1.00.0000.

All of the values look correct.

Does the key list look correct?

Would the patch balk at the presence of DOWSkirmishAILocation or DXP2CDKEY?

[TBS]

DXP2KEY will be your DC CD key, the patch shouldn'y balk at that...DOWSkirmishAILocation isn't there "normally", but it shouldnt be a problem...and as so many people use that mod I can't imagine that it is.

On Dark Crusade, at the Main Menu Screen, in the upper left hand corner, it says:

DOW Engine 1.2 Dawn of War: Dark Crusade 1.0 Build 96815

So, which version of Dark Crusade am I running? 1.2 or 1.0?

Edit: Figured it out...the first number (1.2) is the version of the game you are running. Still don't know what the other number (1.0) represents.
