Did you try the auto patch when you first go online/multiplayer? It should download it.

[AMIgaBot]

i can download patch but i cant install it.

[Megashrap]

Strange, usually after I install it on go into multiplayer it will install automatically.

that is the first time i hear that somone have the game installed but cant patch..

what could it be????

[erjin999]

He might be using the No-CD Patch which changes the exe to one that cannot be updated.

Revert back to the original version that is on the CD then update, after that you can put the NoCD patch back on.

[AMIgaBot]

nope. i dont use no-cd . game wont run without cd. when i run dune i always put it into drive. but  cant patch this damn good game!

The patches rely on registry entries to locate the game. You either have to install properly from a disk or manually add the registry files (not a great idea).

Alternatively, patch it on another computer and move across the entire directory.

Maybe try un-installing the game, delete everything, the whole game directory..

make sure those registry keys are also deleted

reinstall the game,

download the 1.09 patch and install it BEFORE any other so called 'mini-patches' *cough apo *cough*

(btw,happy cheating to all who use that 'mod/hax')

i dont advise copying a pre-installed/patched emperor,

chances are the copy protection will kick in, and you may not get as far as the main menu..

maybe you got the wrong update? or something else has modified the executable before you tried to update..

only other thing i can suggest is  copy the "original" game.exe/emperor.exe files

from your mate/Install Cd then try patch if all else fails ...dont touch/copy the emperor.dat file!!
