ArcanumBeta v1.0 - Beta Content Restoration Pack

Oh yeah, that might be a problem in case that you don't have admin rights, because I tested the beta pack on my notebook, where I got Win7 and it asked me for admin rights after launching the installer, and if you don't have the right, obviously, the patching will fail.

Thanks for letting us know :thumbup:

 

Observation of reduced quality: Fire Elementals

Yes, no and yes.

Works like a charm. Much obliged.

 

Yup, I noticed that too. That's the original fire elemental from the beta, but contains more anims than the fire elemental from the full game, so I didn't removed it. Also, I think that this can be fixed with additive blending, but I had no time to try to fix it, so I can't say if it'll work or not.

About the patch, its vista/7 problem, try to run it with admin rights, and if it won't help, try to run "ArcanumBeta - Patch.exe", which should be located in your Arcanum game folder, after installing the beta pack. Again, run it with admin rights.

Please report your success. Thanks. :thumbup:

 

So i ran ArcanumAlive -Arcanumbeta.exe and the error i am getting when it tries to patch is that the ArcanumBeta-Patch.exe has stopped working. Any idea why?

 

You are probably missing a file msvcr100.dll. You can download it from this link, http://www.dll-files.com/msvcr100.zip?0VLlSFULmW, just unpack the archive and put the file into the Arcanum-folder.

 

thanks it worked

 

Missing DLL-file might be the reason why installation fails on some users, it doesn't come with the vista by default so vista users have to get it separately.
