Ok guys,
I've downloaded the patch 5 times and even used GOZilla to ensure i'm getting a good download. I download the patch directly to the EAW directory and execute it. It starts updating, gets through the first file or two then always stops and says internal error. What's going on?? Am I forever stuck with version 1.0?? Can I skip the patch and install any of the add-ons?? Please help me!

post your e mail and I will send 1.2 to you via e mail, it may be from a bad source?
Are you loading EAW to its default directory? I belive it needs to be.
Also make sure you load ALL of EAW first before loading patch, I am sure I also read some where that EAW SHOULD BE RUN ONCE BEFORE 1.2 INSTALATION I may be wrong but give it a try! S!

This might be idiotic but, you might wanna uninstall and reinstall EAW then 1.2

I have already re-installed EAW 3 times, twice in the default directory after the patch didn't work. I really don't think the patch is messed up. What are the chances of downloading it 5 times from 2 different locations and it being corrupted each time? Also, can I still use any of the add=ons with version 1.0??

Very frustrating..........

What exactly does the error say? Did you ever try the v1.1 patch? Did it run correctly?

If you have tried all the suggestions from this thread and the first one, you may (shudder) want to try Microprose Tech Supp. They will also want the exact error message.

Let us know what happens.

No TWalt, unfortunately AFAIK v1.2 must be in place before FM addon's.

Not so sure about skins or terrains however.

Skins, sounds, and terrains should work OK, I had them working when I had v1.1 running. But EAW will only run in 640x480 straight out of the box, so they might look a little funny.
