RA 1,41 installation problem

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

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

Read XX:\DWdir\Manual\!DWX_RA_1_41_OPFOR_INFO.TXT

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.

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.

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
