Hyprodimus Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi I dont know whats wrong but when I try to install updates it says it cant find EAW, please reinstall. I have the original CD and tried already, but it didnt help. On the said note I have 2 other questions. It says it cant connect to gamespy. Is it my router? Ive seen mods and model upgrades before, how do I use them? How do I watch replays from other people? And Im just throwing this one out too. How do I watch starcraft replays? They use .rep or something and I cant open it. Thanks for any help in advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the original CD and tried already, but it didnt help. Are you using the in-game upgrader or upgrading with a file you downloaded from some website? On the said note I have 2 other questions. It says it cant connect to gamespy. Is it my router? Possible, if you have a firewall. You have to check which port you have to open in order to be able to connect to Gamespy. Ive seen mods and model upgrades before, how do I use them? http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=161131 How do I watch replays from other people? This, I'm not certain as I haven't tried it personally before. I think you have to put them in your Recordings folder. I'll get back to you about this. And Im just throwing this one out too. How do I watch starcraft replays? They use .rep or something and I cant open it. Thanks for any help in advanced! You need to have the game, put it in the specific folder for replays and load them in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyprodimus Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 I should have said patches to be more specific. I tried to get 1.5 and it didnt work, actually none of them did. And what do call these replay folders? I know for starcraft there was a button called replays that I could watch my own, but when I switched computers, I lost it. Can I get it back somehow and is it the same with EAW? And another question if you dont mind. I also posted this on the GB forum. What are workers? Ive not seen them ingame and I beat rebel and half of imperial. And what are resources like nova, ore, food etc? Are these for multiplayer only or something? Thank you again for your reply.

Sorry for the late reply. On the patching issue, I assume that you're not using the in-game updater. The in-game updater prompts you with a message when a new patch is available and asks you if you want to download it when you enter the game. If that doesn't work, you can seek a patch from certain gaming websites. Google is your friend. I am not aware of any difference between regional versions. Some games demand that you download a patch specific to the region you're in. For example, if you live in the UK, you would need the UK patch, if you're in the US, the US patch. I don't think this is the case with Empire at War, so any patch should be fine. Also, try re-installing the game and applying the patch after the fresh install. For the in-game replays, if you change computer, you must also carry your old replay files from one hard drive to the other. Just put them on a CD or a USB flash drive and transfer them to the new replay folders on the new computer. Finally, anything regarding GB.com is related to the game Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and has nothing to do with Empire at War. Nova, ore and food are among the resources you can gather in that game. And I don't mind answering questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyprodimus Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well I know why I cant see replays, because i dont have the current patch. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice now with no prevail. I dont get a prompt for updates. Is it because I cant connect to Gamespy? And thank you also for telling me GB is a different game. I assumed everything on the forum was EAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 You can maybe try downloading an update file from different sources, see if it makes a difference. Other then that, I have no idea what else you can do. As for the prompt not appearing, that seems strange to me as it normally should check for new patches whenever you're entering the game and you're connected to the internet.

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think if you have used Mods, it can change your .exe file. So the best thing to do, is re-install the game but totally remove all the files first. Its probably a firewall issue, turn it off and any anti virus when re-installing the game.

Hyprodimus Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Ok I have the latest patch and I can see the load replay button but I still cant read any of the replays I downloaded. Here is where they are held. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a368/hyprodimus/Focscreen.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Ok, you're on Vista. This changes everything! When you say you can't read your replays, what do you mean? When you go to watch them, they don't work? Did you do a complete fresh install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyprodimus Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 No im not on vista, its just the skin. What I mean is that I cant see any when I click the "load replays" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Did you buy the version brand new? On the desk top icon on Eaw, right click on it, Properties and select VERSION. If it says 1.5, you're fine. If not, get the next patch up 1.1,1.2, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, get the next patch up 1.1,1.2, etc Thanks Darth Maul. It says 1.0. So u mean I've got to get all the updates starting from 1.1 through to 1.5? I can't do 1.5 immediately?
