COD 4 - 1.5 Patch

[ChrisBarnett]

Does anyone have problems with this? It took me ages to get all the files uploaded to the server, to run the install, only for this stupid 1.5 patch to complain that it *still* can't find a valid installation of COD 4.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Chris.

It won't run on the server because you do not have a registry key saying that the game was installed and to what directory.

If it doesn't find the installation it "should" ask you to point the installer to where the files reside.

It doesnt allow that it wants a full install, which is very frustrating.

 

Chris if your just wanting the files contianed within here they are http://downloads.gamingdeluxe.co.uk/cod4_15.zip

edited - I just exe the 1.4-1.5 patch and it does ask for a install location of the game files.

We have seen issues with all "upgrade" installers....since we dont install the full "retail" to each server.

 

We have just conformed to the policy of unpacking the exe and adding in the changed files manually...less headaches.

ha, i agree swish. We got fed up with patches early on. Just grab the files and setup in proper directory structure like any custom mod. Unpack and go!

Guys, the problem is that I've *RUN A FULL INSTALL* of the game, typing in the CD key. The game is installed, yet when I go to run the 1.5 patch, it still acts like it can't find the game.

Did you install 1.4 first as 1.5 won't go in without it. Also why don't youjust use the update "touched files pack"? 1.4 still required. No installer, just extract it to your cod4 folder.

 

W00der up there posted a link for you.

We install the full games on our central master server and use that to create the patch files. It saves on headaches and makes everything much easier.

Ment to say that too rich

Yup I did. No worries, I'll use the patch that w00ders posted. Thanks to w00ders and everyone else.

Nope, I can't get w00ders exe file to run on my PC.

 

It says a dll is missing. I downloaded that dll and it his exe still bitches about the dll not being right.

 

I'll just get the official patch and see if I can extract it from the exe using winzip or something.

Hi - what did you unpack the exe with?

Just extract this to your cod4 folder and confirm overwriting.

I found an issue with that 'touched files' folder.

 

The install doc is ONLY one line!!

 

p_1_5_MP_Guid001={8503C901-85D7-4262-88D2-8D8B2A7B08B8}

 

I'm not sure if it creates an issue or not, but the correct file, has that single line added to the top of what was created during the 1.4 patch.

 

So it would be better to just copy all the files in the pack barr that one, then just add the line your self to the install doc.

 

This is if you haven't used tca's updategenerator.exe as that gives you the correct file

 

Just thought Id point that out for peeps.
