Getting Symtex's original 1.31 patch to work
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:52 pm
So OK, 1st time on this forum. I realize that most of you folks are playing Moo2 on line. My current question is about getting the 1.31 patch to work.
With earlier forms of DOS/Windows I never had a problem getting the patch to work but with XP, I have downloaded the stinking patch about 4 times. Move the resulting zip. file into the Moo2 directory, use the unzip utility, get the confirming message that I have extracted the patch, and the blasted game still starts up as 1.1.
Very disappointing. Since I don't use the DOS version I can't use the 1.4 patch. I hasve been playing this game about every once every 6 mo since the game was released many years ago and still regard the 1.31 version as a work of art. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? anybody?
If any of you people wants to tell me that to get 1.31 up and running, I'll need to live a better life, I'll consider joining a convent but I really need some help here. Thanks
