Re: Latest FOG II Med Upgrade causes crash at start up
This means that you installed the update on top of a very old version of the full game build (earlier than 1.4.x).
It shouldn't be possible, but it seems it is.
You need to uninstall the game, and install it using the full v1.05.06.01 installer. (You don't need to run the updater as well)

Re: Latest FOG II Med Upgrade causes crash at start up
getting the same message sequence - I think -
have re-installed, the game earlier was working fine so the only change was to update to .02,05.00 and the sublime Porte dlc followed by patching to 02.05.1
Can't imagine it has any affect but I am running a test version of 'Kingdoms' but I don't think the cross-links have been created yet?

Re: Latest FOG II Med Upgrade causes crash at start up
This indicates that your build has an old version of one of the game scripts (Functions.BSF) dating back to the v1.02.05 Swords and Scimitars update.loki100 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 3:31 pm getting the same message sequence - I think -

The v1.05.06 update will not update that build correctly, it is only designed to correctly update the v1.04.06 build. There is supposed to be code to prevent people from attempting to update earlier builds, and we are looking into why that code has not worked.
The game is now on v1.05.06. You need to uninstall the game and download and run the full v1.05.06.01 installer.

thanks - I'll do an uninstall and reinstall
but the game was fully patched up to the summer patches as I was playing a fair bit of MP then

Re: Latest FOG II Med Upgrade causes crash at start up
You said you patched it with 02.05 patcher. If so, that is what will have messed up the build, as that is a very old patcher, dating to the release of Swords and Scimitars in September 2021.
I would recommend deleting all old updaters and installers from your system.
It is safer to always download the latest version from My Page.

ah that explains it, clearly wasn't being very sentient since that was an older patch than the one I had in any case
