Multiple installs....how do you do it? - Fubar - 01-25-2007 I want to install the new V3 patch for MBT but still have some 2.51 games to finish up first. Can i just copy and paste the folder to a new location and rename it say MBT 2.51 then apply the patch to the original folder? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the PBEM security would say that the location was different and flag up a problem. Or am i thinking of SPWaW. :conf: RE: Multiple installs....how do you do it? - retired from gaming - 01-25-2007 Thats the way I do it. If you play with basic security you should go fine after that. If it is full security then your PBEMs are screwed. RE: Multiple installs....how do you do it? - Walrus - 01-25-2007 Hi Fubar Czerpak is quite correct. as long as you are only using Basic Security you are sweet to copy and paste the entire directory and give it a different name. It means you can do a nice fresh install for this new version too... Cheers Walrus RE: Multiple installs....how do you do it? - Fubar - 01-25-2007 Thanks for the reply guys...i may wait to install the new patch because i'm hoping to buy the CD versions this week (providing i can pry the credit card away from 'she who must be obeyed' LOL) so i can use ALL the lurvly features in the new patch. :) Top work all who are involved with the game making process. RE: Multiple installs....how do you do it? - Weasel - 01-26-2007 Well hell, I didn't know about that! No wonder every time I try to play full security the game crashes! Things ya learn.
