Custom patcher this download the hole patch to. Discussion on Failed to extract patch file. Within the S4 League forum part of the Shooter category. Patch patch - CrossFire - 3 Replies.
I then launched the patcher, it immediately popped up with the unable to determine version and a repair option.
It won't let you repair until you delete these two files:
depot.version in depot folder
game_player.version in game folder
Currently it is verifying the files I copied over from live, will update again once it gets to the point where it needs to download
Update 1: It made it through the first verify process, flashed a few bars, I think I saw text like 'masking' somewhere in the blips, now it is going through another verify process
Update 2: I don't think it's a 2nd verify process, I think the text is stuck on 'Verifying 42422.39 MB remaining' but the progress par and % is increasing so...lol
Update 3: Definitely think it's downloading something, getting heavy network activity. Currently at 56%!
Update 4: It hit 100% then reset as if it was going to redownload the full 43GB, I restarted it hoping it was an error and now it has popped up with a 250MB download. We'll see what happens next
Update 5: Finished the 250MB, got another could not determine version, hitting repair again! (Looks like the 250MB was things like the game executable, prior to the reset it was still using the live .exe that I copied over.)
Update 6: Not looking good! It seems to want to verify no problem, then almost hits some kind of UI error and can't update what it's doing but I get the feeling it's trying to redownload the entire 43GB. Just deleted another version file under vo_en and databuild.stamp. Getting the feeling it's not gonna work but I'll keep trying lol.
Update 7: Same step as Update 4, hit 100% then listed 43GB, I restart patcher and it's now downloading 7GB. Seems like a much more reasonable file size. Will update when that completes.
Update 8: Approaching the dreaded 3.5GB left mark, currently at 3.7GB left. This could be a completely different 7GB from the total 43GB though, won't know until it's done Mini update: Made it past the 3.5GB marker, will update when this one finished, 3.1GB left to go.
FIXED EDIT 4: I've finally been able to fix the issue through trial and error. The fix was patching while in Safe mode with networking. Finally patched without any issues during installation
A friend sent me a guest pass 2 days ago, and i still can't play it due to a persistent patching error after installation, 'Failed to apply patch file'. I've tried the option to check the install/patch files but it didn't help either. I've also tried downloading the patch while connected to a VPN service, and it didn't work either
My guest pass hours are continuously running out, and I can't even play the game
I have sent an inquiry, it's been a day there is still no reply.
Does anyone know how to fix this error?
