RA 1,41 installation problem (Fixed)
 

Hi guys,

i have some troubles installing the patch 01. of DWX 1,41 RA First it says: Debug Assertion Failed. Program: C:\...\....\...\cpmUtil.exe, File: dbgheap.c, Line:609. I choose Retry and then a second info box pop up says: cpmUtil.exe has stopped working. I tried to install it in another drive but the same problem.

If i will just replace the files of the game with the files contained in the patch (copy - paste) it is going to work?

Thanks.

Edit: Fixed.

yes you "install" the patch simply by moving the files from the patch to your DW map and overwrite

edit: No my bad, that only works for patch 2, the first one you have to run Patch_DWX_141_1.bat

Huh?!
Why don't people actually READ install instructions but try on their own, fail, and rather spend the time posting, instead of just rtfm?

You don't have to touch the cmputil at all, that's an editing tool and has nothing to do with the install.

Do the following:
Delete your dw folder, reinstall the game via steam. Drag and drop the RA 1.41 folder and the bat file into the dw main folder and run the bat and do as it says. After that, download the 1.41 patch 1 and overwrite the original files, aka follow the install instructions provided.

Edit: just got sniped I guess.

Any ideas how to make Patch_DWX_141_1.bat work?
Fortunately I kept the old but good RA 1.40...

What patch 2?
Just checked red Rogers, CrazyIvan only links to patch 1?

There is another patch here: http://ra-dwx.narod.ru/download.htm
and here: https://yadi.sk/d/4Mlp8xNs3BuyrE

but its "unofficial" yet

I have done this but and the problem comes when you need to run the patch 01.

This is probably not usefull but you can try runing Patch_DWX_141_1.bat
as administrator and turning of your antivirus program

I see, thanks.
Of course no change log. -.-
Why is this mod so chaotic....

Yes, a have done this. No effect.

That is for RA 1.41, not the patch #2.
The 7z you linked does not contain any information.

Correct. Probably that's why is "unofficial" :O:

Thanks!

I have to agree, RA is a bit on the chaotic and inconsistent side, specially with object and entity naming and also the object redundancy but it has a diversity on both AI and Controllable platforms and interfaces that I really enjoy.

For me on Windows 7, I have to install RA 1.41 as an administrator. However, the Patch #1 batch file cannot be run as an administrator. I just run it normally (double click) and it works.

Problem fixed. Just to inform:
Do not use the patch01 that included inside the 1.41 mod.
Do not replace the files manual.

Download the zipped patch01 and "extract here" inside the DW directory. Let the program to do all the replacements (yes to all)

Then run the "!_Patch_DWX_141_1.bat"

Download the zipped patch02 and "extract here" inside the DW directory. Let the program to do all the replacements (yes to all).

Good hunting!

Which is what the instructions said. I struggle to see what problems you had, but at least it works mow, enjoy dw!

Installing for W10
 

Okay, I downloaded from Steam. It plopped a shortcut icon on the desktop. When I click it I get "file had to close".

I also went to the DW directory and d-clicked the .exe file and got the same.

I went to this (previous posts) thread and downloaded all to the DangerousWaters base folder.

The V104 Patch
The dangw_d3d8_0_02.rar Patch
The RA_OPFOR_DWX1_41.7z Patch


As to the installation, I did not see the program listed in my Start Menu. I am not sure how to proceed.

Of note; I don't see it in my Start Menu, but it is listed as a program in my Uninstaller program.

Do I need to access Steam first? The patches say there is no program. I did not see an "install.exe" file.

Ideas, step by step going forward...much appreciated.
