Re: How to...

Thanks for the reply but the information you supplied is for the wrong game
(rise of nations, not as I am looking for, rise of legends), I have been
unable to find something similar for what I'm looking for.

I'm having trouble updating a microsoft game (rise of legends) using the
auto-update feature within the game (it consistantly gets an error when
looking for a particular file to download). How do I contact microsoft in
order to get them to either check their download servers have the correct
file or to get help with updating? The links I tried ended up with the
site
telling me that the product identification number I got from the game
wasn't
right. Unfortunately it seems that there are a number of patches, none of
which are available directly from the internet, and I would like to play a
fully updated game (pretty much a requirement if i wanted to play online).


Have you followed the instructions on how to run it without the auto
updater? Doesn't sound like it, and it really wasn't a major chore to
find...

If you have problems with the autopatcher: There will not be a standalone
..exe version of patch 4. If you encounter an error during patch installation
and need to run the patch again, you can manually execute the patch by
following these steps:
1.. Click the start button and select "Run".
2.. Type in "cmd" and press enter. This will bring up the command prompt
window. (For Win9x users, select the command prompt from the start menu)
3.. Type in "cd\" and then "cd X", where X is the location of the main
Rise of Nations folder on your system. (Eg. cd Program Files\Microsoft
Games\Rise of Nations)
4.. Once in the root folder for Rise of Nations, type "rise /patch
rn2.04.04.2903.rtp /p". The patch should then begin to install.
To verify the patch has installed: To check what version of the game that
you have, start Rise of Nations and select "Tools & Extras" from the main
menu. Then select "About Rise of Nations" and you should see the version
listed at the top of the window.
