Some of your mod maps will be removed from the map selection screen. These maps would have crashed with FATAL errors if you attempted to play them. There still might be a few other missions that crash too which were not removed. To fix this, remove some of your mod maps until the message goes away. Do not remove AAA-v1.3path. * If you cannot see any of the new strings in the game (or if they look like 'modename.name.koh'), find an 8MB version of BattlefrontII.exe online (look at the different version switchers). Download the exe, then rename it to something other then 'BattlefrontII.exe'. Put this renamed exe file into the GameData folder and doucle-click the renamed exe to play the game. * If you see some messages similar to 'access denied', then you need to run menu.bat as an administractor. * If your game suddenly starts crashing after you installed the v1.3 patch, then it didn't install correctly. Uninstall the patch and try again, make sure to watch the menu output for possible problems. * If you are having installation problems or game crashes in Vista, make sure Vista hasn't put any of the game files or folders in its 'compatibility mode'. * The patch is untested on v1.0 of the game, but it should work (mod map names will be messed up). * If you are low on disk space, delete everything in the 'AAA-v1.3patch' folder except for the 'addme.script' file and the 'settings' folder. Do this after you install the patch. * If you have instllation problems, feel free to contact [RDH]Zerted at: XFire: zerted Email: zerted+SWBF2_v1.3@gmail.com GameToast User: [RDH]Zerted GameToast's v1.3 patch topic: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=14483
