hi and welcome,

I wish I could help you with this problem but the only thing i can suggest is try running as administator.

I have got the patch without problem but have had no luck launching games on gamespy. I think windows xp may be the only way. I would advise you to play direct LAN games under vista. It is a shame because RON is the greatest.

sorry I cant be of more help. the exact error message might help us.

cheers

I'm having the same problem. It gets to 72% and gives me the following message:
Invalid Patch File Error
Retcode Positive 32769

HI, Sev, and welcome to the forums.

Hi, Jake G, and welcome to the forums.

Are either of you / both of you talking about downloading the patch from the Internet or *installing* the patch?

Patching using the "search for update" button on the games main menu.
To answer your question directly, Installing.

OK, then you should try manually downloading the patch - perhaps it is simply a corrupted file, on your system, causing the problem, and a fully downloaded patch will help confirm this....

IIRC, the in game patching always hits the same server or two - and those servers may have a corrupted file as well....

But, also, IIRC, sometimes these patches are not publicly available....so let us know....

update: I have been trying to patch rise of legends without success.

I have been informed that Big Huge Games have shut down their patch server. Apparently they are not quite as huge as they used to be.

If you know the name of the RON patch file, maybe I can locate it on my system and upload it to you if that would help.

cheers

hi, i have the same problem as everyone else. at 72% i get the same retcode error and its really bugging me! i used every resolution i could find on the internet, but none of them work! even the one on the microsoft website doesn't work haha. to top it all off, bighugegames says on their website that they will not release a stand alone version! AHH! There has to be some way to get this patch working! Thanks!
