Exe won't update? Can't get legendary pack?
« on: May 25, 2020, 12:37:06 pm »
So i tired to download the legendary textures and items pack. But it keeps telling me I need to download the latest patch, even though I'm sure I have it. The odd thing is, before I tried to get those new features the game played just fine! Then when I tried to move the new files in it stopped working and kept saying to update it. I was just wanting to be able to see people's characters instead of white textureless masses. :(
I've deleted and redownloaded the initial "FeralHeart Game Setup" and patch twice now trying to just reset it all before trying again to add the new files, but I guess I've just broke it- As it now won't even accept the patch, it won't even start again to just play it without the legendary stuff like it was doing before?? The second time around I noticed the old exe didn't pop up with the installer to even replace it and I was only prompted to do so when replacing the patched exe with a second copy of itself. Looked as if it only downloaded the installer and not the game. Was it because I had the legendary files and new exe waiting elsewhere to replace the original files? Like my computer was like "oh lol don't need those duplicate named files at all then." Am I going to have to delete ALL of the feral heart related files then in order to start over? I had difficulties downloading the legendary files though, that's why I saved them elsewhere on my computer... I don't have any idea of what's going on or if I explained it right. I'm just so confused and tired-

Hey there! Often times, the patch download can "delete itself" as many computers scan it and find it to be something bad (it isn't though). That can be fixed as long as you re-download it and allow it through the firewall - then replace the old .exe with the new.

As for the markings - what markings are you installing and how abouts are you doing it?

Yeah I was using that version of the files and tried dragging them into the main feral heart folder and nothing really happened...

For that easy install, all you need to do is open the .zip, then copy the FeralHeart folder that's inside of it and place it in your C: drive (where your main FeralHeart folder is located). Everything should install itself, allowing to replace files when asked.

As for asking for the new patch, all you have to do is move the new .exe file (the 1.17a) into your main FeralHeart folder and replace when asked as you've done before.

If (on windows PC) you right click on the .exe & select 'properties' you might be able to find the permissions thing there.  I tell the computer i have permission & can do that then.
Hope that helps?
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?
"Because it was my favourite & I like it"
