| Guest | Cant patch my games on Vista. OS Vista Ultimate x32 (spanish) Im having problems patching my games. I installed games like for example Diablo2, when u connect through the game to blizzards Battlenet the game DLs the patch, exits the game (so files can be modified) and installs it automaticaly . But every time it starts to patch i get an error saying the file game file is still "in use by another program "and cant be patched. Same was for Unreal Tournament 2004 Vista keept elling me that the game file is in use so it cant be patched. What i noticed is that the warning "the program is beeing used by another program" only appears if u run the game (then close it) before patching it, so it looks like that vista doesnt close properly the games after exiting them so the patch prgrams think that the game is still in use. So only way to patch is reboting and initialiting the patch, if u open the game by mistake the patch will detect the file to patch as beeing used and therefore not able to be modifyed Any ideas? |
