Just purchased FoG yesterday and cannot get the 1.03 patch to install on either of my two Vista machines. The game loads fine and plays but when I try to apply the 1.03 patch I get 'decompression' errors and the game program no longer works. Everything works fine with the 1.02 patch.

When I installed on an XP machine everything is fine.

Any ideas since I cannot access multiplayer with only 1.02?

That is very odd. Have you tried re-downloading the patch, it might have failed to download correctly.

Are you running a restricted (i.e. non-administrator) account on your Vista machines? Also, are you running any virus scanner which might look at something trying to rewrite EXE files as being a potential problem and block them from being written, so you might want to try disabling virus scanners when doing your patch install.

Okay finally got it. I was running as the Administrator but needed to turn off User Control AND run the 1.03 patch from a right click as "Run as administrator'......

What a pain in the @ss Vista can be.

Had the most problems on my Laptop with Vista Home Premium. Work computer with Vista Business was not quite as bed.........

Glad you are up and running
