Is anybody else having extreme difficulty with Vista32 and RG 1.0323?

I have been bashing my brains in trying to get RG to work since this new and improved version of RG. The latest is the CRC mismatch error. I have completely un-installed and re-installed renegade and renguard several times. The only downloads I run are the Mappacks from unrules.com which are known to work well with RG.

Currently I have removed the unrules maps for the simple reason to just get RG to work at all. Half the time I get the message that RG has detected "skins" and disconnects me. I keep restarting it until it finally doesn't note any problems, however when I click on Renegade it crashes. This sucks ... I will definitely get kicked from my favorite servers without renguard. I even tried to revert my PC back to XP but much of my hardware only works with VISTA. I HATE VISTA !!! V_I_S_T_A S_U_C_K_S !_!_! Thanks BILL... just another few billion for old bill ... Proprietary @SS... I also tried to just run the old version of RG but it auto updates and goes back to the same crashing problems.

Sorry for the long winded post but I have tried extensively to resolve this problem.

I'm getting the message: "CRC Mismatch Error"
This error message means that game.exe and game2.exe are the same file. This may happen if you try to install with the installer and the safe installer. You may need to reinstall Renegade to replace the now-missing game.exe.


I'm the bawss.

As previously stated I already un-installed and re-installed renegade, but once I install RG the same thing happens. I have also tried to re-download RG from Renguard.com and have the same problem. I only install RG with the automated installer that the new version comes with. It is pretty much automated, I don't even know if it will allow any variations of installation.

Did you Update Renegade to V 1.037 before installing Renguard?

Yes.

I have always followed these exact procedures for a fresh install:

1) Full uninstall of renegade and RG including deleting the renegade directory (c:\westwood\renegade)
2) Restart PC
3) Re-install renegade
4) run Renegade multiplayer and allow renegade to download updates
5) restart game
6) play single player campaign and allow initial boot of game (Somebody told me that it was a good idea to do this to verify the game for proper installation and renegade updates)
7) Restart game again
Cool Reinstall RG (as previously mentioned I have also tried to download fresh copy of RG from renguard.com)
9) RG updates automatically
10) play renegade with RG

I have downloaded the files and copied the instructions and will attempt re-install as described.

Thanks

You shouldn't blame Vista for your own failure.


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

To the Pro Vista person which I have decidedly placed on my ignore list... VISTA has created a multitude of problems with nearly every program I run.

AUTOCAD... runs very slow... my only option is to buy the new one ... which I DON'T like at all.

Renegade I have to adjust the video config virtually everytime I start the game ... I own 3 pc's with Vista and this has occured on all 3 PC's with VISTA...

The user interface for virus programs royally stinks.

All-in-all an OS should be user friendly and not be such a head ache to use, and I for one hate the new icons. It would be nice if we had a choice to switch back to the old icons.

This Vista is a repeat of the same thing Bill did with Windows ME... that is to make an OS that people will dispise so much that they will pay whatever to buy the next OS to replace Vista just as XP replaced ME. (Anybody who can remember ME will most likely agree that ME stunk) Of course when ME started out everbody thought it was great until they used it for a few months. Oh well... anything to make your Bill~ion's... right...

Anyhow, reply to the question not with your insults... And trust me... I am far from alone on the opinion of Vista... alot of gamers don't like Vista... period.

Proprietary Bill has made it so you cannot revert back to XP with many PC's.

I wish some game guru out there would invent a PC based OS that is specifically designed for games as its primary function. An OS that is tweaked from the start for ppl such as myself... given my inadequacies like many others who will forever have troubles tweaking a PC and trying to make these inadequate OS's work.

!Vote Anti-Vista

Thank you to those who have given good advise on my original post...

Why did you get a PC with Vista, and it cannot possibly be impossible to revert to XP.
