But that's not how it works! Patch Help?
« on: June 29, 2011, 03:44:04 am »
I remember having the same problem when I first got FH. I'd download it, go into game, to have OBSCENE things to greet me, pulled and stretched models F.U.B.A.R.

I didn't GET the "oh, you have to uninstall FH and reinstall it." I just downloaded the patch, executed it, and then all hell broke loose, kept my poker-face and uninstalled, knowing that something's messed up, and I should just start fresh before twisting the rat's nest.

I did that, and since the page said I shouldn't need to get the new patch, I started up, and it flipped an endtable. I then go into my torrents and use the old .03 patch. that screwed it up, too.

so I uninstall again, this time going right to the new patch and skipping all bull. I then open up my game, and lo and behold the nostalgic sight of my first time opening FH. although, this time with lots of water. so, knowing that I MUST be missing something to get the game working, I go and download the Map Pack. which screws all time lines and brings be back to the first version of FH (not IT).

tl;dr: I'm the lazy, granted, but take the damn time to read the question and what I've done.

can anyone get a Tutorial up in here?

First of there's no need to be frustrated about something like this since it wont really get you anywhere, just cause more problems.

If you know how to download with torrent, do this.

Uninstall the game completely from the control panel (Because I don't know what you have really done til now)

Download the game installer using torrent

Download the latest patch using torrent

Run the game installer(Not the patch) after it finished the download, once you got the game installed, run the patch installer also downloaded via torrent. Make sure you install both the game AND the patch on the same location, which on default it "C:\FeralHeart".

Run the game, and if you bump into any visual problems, or any error codes, either go into the options menu, set the rendering submode to "Direct3D9" Restart the game, and play.
