No need to panic as I'm sure this was just a simple oversight. The moderators will have gotten the message by now so I suppose we will have a short wait while they sort it out and come up with a fix for us.  They've never let me down in the past when there was a genuine problem.

Quite right guys, a mistake on our part there. The guy doing the patch hadn't done the old ones and didn't know to remove the serial check, but I should have known better when putting it up. The patch installer itself will need to be corrected, which will be done on Monday. In the meantime, I've made it a non-registered download as a start.

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		To those hypothesizing that we have something against customers without serial numbers - absolutely not! No slight intended, everyone. We simply do everything with serial numbers these days and I had a momentary lapse of reason when I double-checked this update. I knew UV was originally from the pre-serial number releases, but I simply missed that because I'm so used to seeing the serial check. The thing is, we did an updated UV installer based on 2.41 that did include serial numbers and that's what the store has been selling for over a year now, so it was a bit easier to get confused on this score than it should have been. Apologies, mea culpa, etc. It will be fixed.

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		It's a great recognition of the fact that people are still enjoying this game after all this time, especially since WITP is out covering the same subject. Great games never die.....

Personally, I will be using this delay as an opportunity to backup all the mods I have accumulated over the years as I suspect that this patch will overwrite many of the art files.

If you are interested, the following thread gives a great tool for managing mods (works on any game including UV just as well). Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler

Status: offline 		So, action at last. Not perfectly done, but still, DONE.
I await Mondays "correction" with interest.

( By the way, mine was at 1.3 when I bought it in the UK and no Serial number there either. )

Having visted the members area, I note 3 download sites:-

Members downloads ( Which specifies that Serial No.'s are not required! )
Registered Downloads ( requires Serial No. )
Patches & Updates.

Why 3 area's?
And why is the 3rd one still at version 2.41 ( 4/4/05)?
( IE 2.50 not entered & 2.42B not listed either! )

Roll on Monday......

You have opponents lined up?  Japanese or Allied?  Which scenario?  Matrix says that you can patch with V2.50 mid game.

Status: offline 		So. At 18.09 GMT I spent approx. four hours downloading this patch from the Members Downloads section.
Turns out it still needs a serial number!
OK so there's a time difference, and it was still 1.09 PM in the Eastern USA; ie not yet end of the Working Day for Monday.
I note as I post it's 5.15pm in Eastern USA and no confirmation of completion yet.

Erik. Considering the Patch size can you please confirm when corrections completed. Thanks.

Status: offline 		Hello...

Should say 2.50. Says that on my copy. Try looking at the verion number under properties. This can be located by right clicking the executable file and selecting properties. The file version there should be 2.5.0.0. If it is not and it says 2.42 on the game screen, something is wrong. Make sure you are not using a short cut which points to the old executable.

Thanks...

I installed the Patch (had 2.42 before) and it did not work.
Then I deleted the uv.prfs file patched the game again and it
did not work either.
I reinstalled the game ( CD 2.30) removed the file, patched the
game and all I got was version 2.40.

Any ideas??

Status: offline 		I have the same problem, it still showed 2.42 as version number (I updated from 2.42). I then tried to install the patch into an empty directory to see what exe file it includes.
It has an uncommonvalor.bak 2,0,0,30 and an uncommonvalor.exe 2,0,0,40

Maybe I should backup my savegames and reinstall, then upgrade from install version to 2.50. Probably I then have 2.40 ....

Ahh I see (the post above), I'm not the only one with the problem. It looks the patch file is borked, someone integrated the wrong exe version.

Status: offline 		I'm glad it's not just me going nuts.  I went looking for the advertised features & couldn't find them. The installed executable has a date stamp of 13Jul05 which makes the probability of it being the latest version rather unlikely.

Awaiting the next installment.......  (good thing I just got broadband!!)
