Members Ssnake Posted August 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 The new installer gives reason to a lot more hope. Initial tests so far have been positive. We need to work out minor kinks, and I need to update the release notes about a point or two, but, well, there's light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully not a train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daskal Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Is the updated content this big - or this is just basically a fresh install of SB Pro PE? (I assume its basically a new installation as the pdf talks about having to leave away the end credit pics which dont really have to do much with the patch) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey Ssnake, have you considered releasing the patch as a torrent also, could save you some bandwith, and since i'm on a 100/100 connection i can gladly seed for a couple of days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskal Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 SsnakeWhat happened the end of the week has come and gone? More glitches? he didn't say according to what calendar he meant the week - the Maya calendar uses a 13 and a 20-day "week" http://www.webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-mayan.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejawolf Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 you just don't know the release date formula. take any date Nils has announced. subtract the time of announcement from the release day, then multiply this value by 3.so lets say Nils announces that "in february 2010, we will have 3d soldiers", and he announces it today.the formula would be (1st february 2010 - 1st of september 2009) * 3 = 6 months * 3 =18 months.Nils announced on wednesday 26th of august, that it would be released at the end of it or 30th of august.which would be 4 days. 4*3 = 12 days.so it should be ready around monday next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybird03 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Time and space are relative. This week, next week - the real question is whether it is next week this year or next year. :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted September 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) I expect the download to be ready today. We have tried to tinker a bit with the settings to give the new release notes a more prominent place, but that wasn't terribly successful, and we don't want to waste more time with this. Having said that, the reason why I wanted the release notes to be displayed before installation is that the new installer has a few peculiarities. A typical install should go like this: Start the download. Wait for quite a while until you have downloaded the 700+ MByte (Sorry! Too many resource files had to be updated!) Run the executable. This will extract the actual installation files to a temporary folder on your harddisk (=1.4 GByte total HDD usage at this point), then start the actual installation process Does no longer apply.You may get prompted that the installer didn't find the latest CodeMeter version. You can safely ignore this (it seems to happen only under 64 bit Windows versions) since, as you have 2.460 installed already, you also must have the needed CodeMeter runtime.(Should you find out at a later point that you don't have it due to a bizarre string of events, you can still download it from here) The installer will now search your local harddisk(s) to find the old 2.460 installation. You may need to wait for up to 10 minutes, depending on how fast your harddisk is Once that the installer has found SB Pro PE 2.460 you will get prompted into which directory you want the new version installed.You may pick the same location as 2.460 used, of course Now the actual installation starts, at the end of which 2.5 GByte of harddisk space are in use. Once that the installation is complete the installer will remove the installation files from that temporary harddisk, and of course you may delete the downloaded .exe file as well, therefore freeing up 1.4 GByte on your harddisk. But, at least 1.8 GByte are needed if you put the .exe file on an external medium first.I don't think that anyone will have a problem because of it. But it is only fair to say that this installation needs more free harddisk space than previous versions, albeit only during the installation process itself. Phew.Done.

Administrators Sean Posted September 1, 2009 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2009 #4 no longer applies. The codemeter check was removed to prevent confusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
