I have the windows version (downloaded) and XP and I downloaded the version 2 patch. I followed the instructions but the patch file didn't create the .OVL file. Not sure why it won't create it but i searched around and didn't find anything.

Theres no error messages showing. I open the patch and the screen goes black for a second or two then it just goes back to the desktop.

run ttdpatchw.exe via dos console (menu start -> run: "cmd.exe" or "command.com")

Your a F*****g genius. It was the language. It wasn't set. I must of never seen it when the screen would refresh to try to enter the game. Thanks

I know I've seen this elseplaces, but create a batch file (eg ttdpatch.bat)
Code: Select all
@echo off
set LANG=[whatever]
ttdpatch [switches]
or, if you're comfortable messing with your startup files, you can add the "set LANG" line to autoexec.bat.

Maybe you could share the solution with us, for the sake of our progeny.

exactly what DaleStan said
@echo off
set LANG=[whatever]
ttdpatchw.exe (or whatever your patch is named, then run this .bat file instead of the patch file)
