Cannot Install the 1,05 Beta Patch

[Thorgrimm]

The only other folder in the My Documents Directory was the save game folder. It was empty. I also did a search of my entire HDD for Banished, no other folder popped up.

Thanks for the help bud.

Two questions for you:

How's your malware protection?

Do you have all the .net updates for Windows 7 installed?

[Thorgrimm]

I use Norton, and scan using Malware Bytes.

I am pretty sure that I do. But I could not swear to it. My OS was updated recently, 3 weeks ago, IIRC.

How would I check to see if my .net is the latest version?

Silly question, but are you using the original starting link? I ask this because the patch installs 2 new files - Application-x32.exe & Application-x64.exe.

You must start the new patched game from one of this 2 new files - x32 one for 32bit Windows & x64 one for 64bit Windows. The original starting link launches Application.exe (the original file) - launching that file will cause the error you have (tried it on my comp).

Hope this helps...

@Ixwa, you know, I think you may have stumbled upon the Answer! I have always used the original shortcut provided by the install! I had assumed that it updated that too!

I will immediately give it a try!

BTW, there is no such thing as a silly question, IMO!

@Ixwa, that did the trick! 

I would like to thank this forum, and its members, for giving me the aid that I needed to get the 1.05 patch up and running! Thanks folks!!

Now to try out the mods I really want to use, NMT and the Small Row Houses!


Cheers, Thor

@RedKetchup I think I will! Love what you have done for the game!

As for totally useless, I was not useful in tracking down the error. However, you good folks here were willing to help, and that is what matters!

Glad you tracked that down finally.  The reason I never encountered it was because of my controlled Windows decor which starts the game with this script:

#!/bin/bash
date
echo "Start Banished"
env WINEPREFIX="/home/john/.wine" nice -19 wine "C:/GOG Games/Banished/Application-x64.exe" \
&>~/banished.log
wine --version &>>~/banished.log
date

If I was using a 32-bit wine prefix, I would have used the other file.  Again, without trouble, I hope.

[Thorgrimm]

Thanks for all your help A Nonny Moose. Been enjoying the hell out of the game with NMT and the Small Town Row House mods.  I am going to use NMT for high density population games, and the Row House Mod for low population density games!

Glad it was a simple error!  Now you can go back to being happy!

Great find, thanks for sharing... I'll also add that to my ever growing (s)hitlist of Banished quirks...

Cheers!

I have the same problem. Can't patch the game to 1.05. Did a full uninstall deleting all files in the game folder and the save folder itself in my documents and a fresh install and used the correct .exe file. No cookie.
