BEta rar files
« on: 03 Apr 2004, 22:27:50 »
Okie trying to update my 1.91 official patch to the newest versions i think its 1.96 or something. I keep getting beta patches with .rar files and i dunno what to do with them. COuld you either tell me where to get official patches with zip files that will install them automatically or can you tell me what to do with the .rar files
Wld be much appreciated

I wasn't aware that the official game patches were released in RAR format.  I was sure they were released in ZIP format.

Anyway......try here for the 1.96 Release Candidate.

Good point Kaliyuga, however, if he downloaded the 1.96 release candidate, it does in fact replace the game exe.

So his shortcut should still have run the game as version 1.96.

Wonder which he downloaded then.....the beta or the release candidate?

If you installed the release candidate then you don't need to run the flashpointbeta.exe as it will have updated your normal exe file to 1.96.

However......onto the multiplayer games.....

Do you mean multiplayer games you find on the internet are locked?

If so, then they will be locked or passworded games.
But there should be plenty of servers where the games are not locked or passworded.
