Patch question

Kohlman · 03-08-2002, 02:09 AM

Downloaded the original file on the 1st, and then the patch on the 4th. Unzipped the patch into my OOTP4 folder. When I start it up, the version does not state 4.0a.

I question this because when I d/l the game for my laptop on the 6th, my laptop version does state 4.0a.

Did the patch take on my PC? Should it read version 4.0a? I simmed some games and it looked like 1st inning runs were being recorded as earned.

What do you guys think?

I'd suggest just downloading it and unzipping it into your OOTP4 folder again if you are unsure.

I agree. When the game starts, when the window pops up that shows the OOTP4 logo, below it will say:

Welcome to OOTP4 (Version 4.0a)

If it doesn't say the '(Version 4.0a)' then I believe the patch was not installed.

Just to finish up this thread:

At OOTP4 website, on the banner at the top of the screen, there is a DOWNLOAD button you can access which will take you to the patch plus two sites for the entire OOTP4 d/l plus OOTP3 and OOTP2. This is where I had all of my d/l problems.

I d/l the patch again and unzipped again with no success. I decided to uninstall and d/l the whole game again, from this same area. This time I d/l over 10 megs when the d/l said it was complete. Obviously it wasn't.

I then went to the other d/l area with the 5 OOTP4 logos and d/l the whole version again with no problems.

I think the problem lies in the d/l area where you go in from the skinny banner at the top of the page.

Wow. Does this make sense? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Hmm...that shouldn't make a difference. I guess you were having the problem that some were having with the incomplete downloads. Did it work when you re-downloaded it?

If not, try clearing your cache and downloading again.

Yes, it did finally work.

Kinda strange, though. I decided to uninstall, unlicense, and start anew. Well I uninstalled then went to my Control Panel, double clicked my Elicense, right clicked my OOTP4, selected unlicense but it would not unlicense.

I had used 2 licenses, 1 for my PC, 1 for my laptop, so I decided to proceed since I had 1 left. I d/l the whole version again, clicked on setup, and everything was there, my Rolen league, my stadiums, my facepack. And it stated version 4.0a.

Suffice to say, I was happy, just a little confused. When something goes right for me, I usually don't question it, but I did spend a little time trying to figure out how this happened. Never figured it out.

I am not a computer wiz, by any means, but I have to say, this program is a breeze to work with. I imported a OOTP3 league on my laptop, I thought for sure I would screw it up. No problems. What a great feeling when something works that you do not have a lot of experience in.
