Cannot install 1.0.4

[mightyjules]

Hi lads,

 

i cannot install patch the gog patch 1.0.3 to 1.0.4. says i have to download the new installer?! WTF

I'm guessing GoG would be the one to contact re: issues with their installers. They have their own tech support and forums.

Salutations,

 

I experienced the same situation. The GOG patch reported that I had the wrong game version installed.

 

I ended up deleting all Pillars Of Eternity files from my computer. Re-downloaded everything. Reinstalled from the start. Patch one, then patch two.

 

The game is now working! Albeit, I have to start all over. I didn't save any save game files.

Try this:

 

(reinstall) the 1.03 patch, then install 1.04.

 

I have a hunch that GoG re-updated the 1.03 patch with the subsequent hotfix. Thus, if you installed GoG's initial 1.03, you may not have the hotfix applied, thus the version check fails.  Total speculation, but I had to reinstall 1.03 before I could install 1.04.

Might this apply for Steam users too? I can't launch the game due to a "corrupt file" after a very troubled download.

Steam does it's own auto-patching thing so I highly doubt this applies to your problem.

Verify cache on Steam. See if that works.

I already did at request of a dev on my post. I did, and it still has issues. Goes back and forth on installing and verifying and essentially refuses to download now. Hours of it.
