<DISCLAIMER!!!!!
I created this instruction list so you can manually fix files. You have to be
somewhat familiar with file names and directory structures. I am not responsable
for anything that happens to your computer or game.>
These are the files you will need from the original MW4
disk if you receive a 0036 error or similar when you try to patch both MW4 and
Black Knight with the new 1.0 BK patch.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\resource
core.mw4
props.mw4
textures.mw4
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance
MissionLang.dll {you will have to rename this file, it is Missio_1.dll on the
disk}
ScriptStrings.dll {you will have to rename this file, it is Script_1.dll on
the disk}
MW4.exe
Mw4.icd
After copying and renaming these files you will need to
take off the READ ONLY attribute from all the new files. Then start running
from patch releases 1.5, to 2.0, to the new 1.0 BK {3.0 release}. This should
now work and saves you from an uninstall / reinstall.
or.....
You can try this batch file that runs this process automatically. Just don't run it more than once if it doesn't work the first time.
