NomadWR Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I'm moving into the MP area of the game now. And a lot of MP players don't like the patch. They say that it screwed the game up!!! But keep in mind that a lot the players in MP have not played much of the campaign yet. I have the patch down loaded and stored, but due to the dark marks the patch is getting from the MP players I've (not as of yet) installed it... One of the MP players installed it, and disliked it so much that he wanted to remove it and go back to original (out of the box) 1.02. But said that he could not get the patch off his machine. He unstalled the game, wiped all files that he found connected to JK2. And reinstalled the game only to find that it was still patched to the 1.03 vertion! So if those of you that have installed the 1.03 patch, and are still playing campaign, I'd like know what you think of it, and how it has effected the game play in campaign mode? Thanks, Nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I installed the patch to find that my favorite MP server didn't use it. So I reinstalled my game and it wiped the patch out of my files. I don't see how the game could stay upgraded if the game is uninstalled and then reinstalled. I haven't actually played with the patch installed but from what I hear I'm not too excited about it. I guess when the servers I play on start using the patch, I will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadWR Posted May 11, 2002 Author Share Posted May 11, 2002 There were a few friends of mine that were going to play in their own server last night. The one that was going to host, installed the patch only find that it screwed things up so he removed it too... ~Nomad~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanava Skywalker Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I liked the patch.... I didn't like the way backflip was originally made and the way saber fighting used to be. It's now very stable and very nice to play MP games. Didn't affect the way I kill Desann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadWR Posted May 12, 2002 Author Share Posted May 12, 2002 I guess I'll go ahead and install it. There are very few games online that are not using it. So what the heck huh? I'll go for it... How much differance did it make in campaign? ~Nomad~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 wouldn't it be posible to intall JO twice to two different locations and then install the patch on just one of them? then you could play with or without the patch without having to uninstall the entire game? could this work or am I wrong?

NomadWR Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 By God you got it Greedo... Yes you can, if you have partitions up on your HD, or have two seperate HD's in your box... I just happen to have dual HD's. I'll try it and report back on the out come!!! Good thinking Greedo, indeed a good idea!!! ~Nomad~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I don't have two HDs but I'm going to try it anyway. I'll post here when I find out what happens (unless it somehow destroys my hard drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I just did it. I now have a copy of JO patched and non patched on my computer. all you have to do is make a copy of the non patched version and move it to another folder. then install the patch. the patch will upgrade the copy of JO in your lucasarts folder and not the one elsewhere. then make two new folders to your lucasarts folder one called "JO patched" and one called "JO non patched" (or wahtever you want to call them). then when you want to play a patched game just move your non patched version into the "JO non patched" folder and cut and paste the patched version from your "JO patched" folder to your lucasarts folder (and the other way around for non patched play). this allows you to play patched and non patched game without uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game. this method is patented so if you want to use it send $50.00 to- haha just kidding, anyone can do this. I hope this helps people who want to upgrade but don't like it that much. and you don't need two hard drives to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
