V1.1 not working [Solved]
Hi,
i'm really surprised. I just installed the international v1.1 patch
http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.co ... onal;57009
Before i could start the game without dvd directly from
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\BattlefrontII.exe
But now it says it misses the cd/dvd even when i insert it. So i'm pretty sure that i took the wrong patch, but as far as i know there are only the International English CD-ROM Patch, the v1.1 Patch [US] and the v1.1 Patch [International].
So what did i wrong. I always played just the v1.0 with the inofficial v1.3 patch, but i wanted to get the right names displayed, so i wanted to install the patch and now it's not working

Re: V1.1 not working
Did you uninstall the 1.3 unofficial patch before installing the 1.1 update?

Re: V1.1 not working
Does the 1.1 patch work now with 1.3 temporarily uninstalled?

Re: V1.1 not working
I haven't test it now. But the v1.3 features were disabled, when i installed the v1.1 patch. To fix that i reinstalled 1.3 and copyed the bf exe from the DVD back on my pc. i'll have a look at it at the weekend

Re: V1.1 not working
The 1.1 Patch and 1.3 shell mod are two entirely different things, the game does not rely on 1.3 to work. I never felt comfortable with "patch" being used with 1.2 or 1.3 due to possible confusion that could stem from it. The 1.1 Patch swaps out the original BattlefrontII.exe for an updated one. If the game won't launch after updating to 1.1 with any of them, even with the disc inserted then it sounds like a hardware compatibility issue which SecuROM can fix for you within 24 hours (Mon - Fri). They will send you a new 1.1 BattlefrontII.exe that works with your hardware configuration.

Re: V1.1 not working
In hind sight you're right about "patch" being a poor name, but I couldn't come up with anything better. It does act like a patch. It was meant to fix short comings with the shell.
Anakin, you didn't do anything wrong. Lots of people have problems updating to v1.1. If you can't work with SecuROM, try some of the version switchers utilities.
v1.3 won't stop any official patches from being applied. But the official patches overwrite a few files v1.3 uses, so people should reinstall v1.3 after patch. It's safe to install v1.3 on top of itself. There's no need to uninstall it beforehand.

Re: V1.1 not working
Get the patch from here. I recently installed Battlefront II on another PC and the patch from filefront caused the issue you have. The one from the official site works.

Re: V1.1 not working
The archive file sizes are quite different (28.4 vs 57.6) for the BFIIUpdateInt1_1.exe, but this could be the compression type used (haven't checked). Maybe someone could do a before & after system snapshot to see what each one installs. Resource Hacker is showing identical version info for both though.
I eventually bought a digital copy from Steam which comes prepatched and requires no disc, this works on both computers without any hassle.
I have 2 computers, one bought in 2004 and one bought in 2009. The domestic 1.1 patch from the old LucasArts website installed and worked fine on my old computer, but had the same problem Anakin has with his, on my newer computer. SecuROM was the solution to this problem.The one from the official site works.
