Hello nats,

I believe that if you log into Slitherine's page you should be able to download the installers from all your registered games. If that fails, then drop a line to support at slitherine.co.uk, so that they can send you a new download link.

Cheers,

Thanks I have got another download link for version 0.73 (1.2Gb) which I will try downloading shortly. Is this the right base game version?

I presently have on my computer the later patches 0.7.8 (1.5Gb) , 0.7.15.1 (1.7Gb) , 0.7.18 (733Mb), and finally the last patch 0.7.19.4 (735Mb). How do I know which one of these to use now to patch to the full game? Is there some sort of routine I have to go through in order to patch the game? If so this could possibly do with putting into a locked thread on the top of the forums so everyone knows what order they need to patch the game to get it right. Because me getting these wrong might have been the cause of the CCC error I was getting when I tried to use these above patches to install the game ( I tried a few variations and they all gave me a CCC error).

Right so I think I have figured it out by trial and error. The present minimum install route seems to be as follows:

1/ Start off with the 0.73 (1.2Gb) base game version from your original download link.
2/ Apply large patch 0.7.15.1 (1.7Gb)
3/ Apply the last patch 0.7.19.4 (735Mb).

Is that right?

Could I have left out the 7.15.1 download?

Hello nats,

Glad you could sort it out. Yes, skipping 0.7.15.1 is fine. We're planning to remaster the installer soon anyway, so hopefully it will be a single download of around 800 MB plus a single patch, which will only be a fraction of the original installer size.

Cheers,
