Quirkitized Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 So as polecat and mustang said Installing Black Shark 2 patch with a 1.0 version of Black Shark worked. However, once you update to Black Shark 2, do we have to install patch 1.02 or does Black Shark 2 include all the updates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Install patch to BS 1.02 if you are utilizing it as a separate SIM, ie for FC2 compatibility. If not, uninstall it - no need to keep two installs. BS2 completely separate. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

This does not affect BS2 at all. It is a completely separate install. :) Out Edited November 2, 2011 by PoleCat http://www.104thphoenix.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirkitized Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks. So to clarify to anybody else that sees this thread. To install Black Shark 2 from original black shark 1. Uninstall your black shark 1.02 2. Re-install black shark, the default original 1.0 3. Install NEW Black Shark 2 4. THEN patch your OLD Black Shark 1.0 to 1.02 Black Shark 2 is different than Black Shark 1.0, patch 1.02 will not effect Black Shark 2. Only patch your old Black Shark version 1.0 if you wish to continue to play the old game. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealN Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Installs are not the same as activations. You do not need to spend activations to reinstall, since it's on the same machine.

BaD CrC Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Just to make sure I understand. I bought the BS2 patch, but installing it will keep my BS 1.02 and create a new install BS2 so I have the two games on the same machine right? https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you need to uninstall your 1.02 in order for BS2 to install, otherwise you will get an error. Must have Black Shark v1.0 to install Black Shark 2. After you have Black Shark 2 installed, you can update your old Black Shark v1.0 to v1.02, so you will have two games installed. Once Black Shark 2 is installed you can delete your old black shark 1.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Fantastic. Exactly what I wanted. I just have too many modified lua files and mod install on BS1, I just want to be able to fly either BS1 and BS2 since it will probably take some time for my squad to switch to BS2. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustur Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) But there seems to be a problem with Upgrade Patch installer and BS1 version 1.02, so you have to have BS1 version 1.0 installed prior to installing BS2. Then after BS2 you can patch BS1 to 1.02. Complicated.. Edited November 2, 2011 by Mustur [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangav Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've renamed my Eagle Dynamics folder in PF(x86) and reinstall BS 101 into default folder. Hope this will avoid uninstalling 102 version [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromium Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Me too, hope it will work... :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Aviators Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 double installation Hi guys, do you know if I can install two versions of ka50? 1.02 and the version 2 ka50. You can do this? or the protection of the various log files are in conflict? L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa.

Eihort Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Supposedly you can run them both, no problem. There is no conflict between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

213 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 does the steam key work with the regular downloaded version? i found something resembling the cd keys in regedit. and i assume you need to activate the downloaded version first before bs2 will detect it.

kylania Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 There is no Steam Key. Patching the Steam version is still a work in progress, as Steam always seems to be.

Tez Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Who has issues with BS2 patch distribution installation. BS1 has to be both installed and activated (it doesn't matter whether activation is valid at the moment, it's just BS1 serial number what should be in the registry).

MTFDarkEagle Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So, I can effectively render my BS1 installation "useless" by changing the folder name (i.e. for installing 1.0.0 for BS2)?

RvETito Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Does it matter what version BS1 is - DVD or download - for making BS2 work? "See, to me that's a stupid instrument.
