Ok I've read through the messages here, and I have to admit, I'm disappointed that there's nothing to truly address this patch fiasco yet.
I have DCS Blackshark installed from the DVD, which I'm guessing is v1.0 English.
I downloaded the English 1.02 patch, and all it does it break the damn game.
I uninstalled the patch thro the patch uninstaller, and my v1.0 seems to work just fine that way, but then I tried again to re-install 1.02, and it did the same thing it did before, it broke the game.
I can't access options, or other features, it just gives me an error with 1.02 installed.
What kind of patch is this? Is there any sure fire fix for this nonsense, or word of a patch for the patch?
I'd like to try Blackshark vs LOMAC Platinum, but at this rate I don't see how it's possible, or if it ever will be.
I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit, and LOMAC Platinum works fine. I also noticed the others who are having the most trouble with this version are running 64-bit versions of Vista or Win7.
Can someone please post any work-around or step by step process to install this thing. Am I missing something? It can't be this hard.
