Got Stuck with a Russian Version, Can't Patch


Recommended Posts

Fell into the same trap as a few others. Got KotOR2 off Ebay, turned out I got the Russian version. Did manage to get it to install in English, but the game won't patch. By some miracle is there anyway around this? *sigh* I hate the concept of having to buy a game twice.

The game does not patch because the patcher looks very carefully if all the files to patch are on the disk and if these are the good versions, the same size as expected... So if you put a nocd executable instead of the original one, it won't work...

Your version of the game should have non official modificated files and then, the patch won't install itself.

I don't see any solution except buying a legal copy of the game from a trusted site. You should wait a bit the time the price drops; even unpatched, the game is finishable.

So just sell the bad version on E-bay, and use that money towards a legal version :)

 

I'm bad, aren't I?

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

--John Stewart Mill--

 

"Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun.....you could send in your bleeding-heart do-gooders, you could hold hands and pray and sing hootenanny songs and invoke the great gods CNN and BBC, but the only way to finally open the roads to the big-eyed babies was to show up with more guns."

You can replace you *.exe files with the original ones and then patch it, but, it will not bring you satisfactions since for patched game you need new no-cd *.exe files to find. May be on astalavista.box.sk <_<
