Patches?

[Annorax]

Hi all:

I'm running Windows 2000 and the newest version of Exult, 1.4. I've been trying to get patches to work by adding the following into my exult.cfg:


C:\Games\Ultima\Exult\islefaq
C:\Games\Ultima\Exult\quests_and_interactions
C:\Games\Ultima\Exult\ultima6patch


I tried it without the full path and I still had the same problem. I did this, then started a new BG game (I wanted to try to U6 patch), but there was no affect. This is what stdout.txt says:

Am I overlooking something very simple here?

I had similar problems. What worked was to leave out the patch command and rename u6patch to merely patch. After that it worked for me.

It may also be that you can't mix and match those particular patches.

mixing patches in that way doesn't work and isn't supported and doesn't make any sense anyhow.
