This might be a stupid question...

If this can found somewhere else, then I am really sorry, but I am hopelessly lost...Where can I find A New Dawn patch 1.74E or F? Also how would I make a desktop shortcut to launch either A New Dawn or Rise of Mankind. I thought I installed both correctly but everytime I try to run it, the screen flashes back to the desktop and nothing happens. The one time that I got it to work, I got into the game and there was no hud. I had no buttons no options. I could move untis and if I remembered a key command it worked, but that was it. Please help.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/anewdawn/files/ for the patches.

And as for the shortcut,

"D:\Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe" mod=\Rise of Mankind

works for me. Obviously you change the path to correspond with yours. You might have a faulty install tho by the sound of it; does the mod work normally if you enable it in-game?

Yeah, Irony of ironies, is that 2.91 and 2.92 both workwithout any problems. It is when I install the New Dawn patches that it seems to go sideways. I will try to re-download the 1.74 patches. Do I need to install them in order ro can I just install the latest?

[Afforess]

Stupid Question but, you are downloading the main AND package before installing the patches, right?

[gdambrauskas]

download and install in the order

rom 2.92
new dawn 1.74
new dawn patch 1.74 E

don't install over existing versions. Best delete/backup old and install fresh. Sometimes you think you got it clean, but you don't.

And i wouldn't recommend 2.91 with 1.74, it works, but isn't built for it(though creators know best, but i just follows their advice).

And why not try Patch F ?

Christmas came early!!!! I cleaned my machine of all Rise of Mankind and A New Dawn...did a new download of everything, did a clean install. Patch 1.74C and 1.74D didn't install correctly. But I got E and F to install....and IT WORKS!!! Game is awesome!!! When I first load it, I just need to wait for it to load. Thanks for all your help!

glad it works. Just a note (someone correct me if am wrong, but in software bussiness last patch always includes all prior patches), you only need to install latest patch ie if there's
patch A and B, you only need B as it contains A fixes already, so in this case patch F is all you needed.

anytime for a multiplayer game, let me know I live near you (elmhurst,ny), so we got matching hours and i play games almost everyday.
