Hi. I'm new. I got RA2 and installed the DSL 2.0 things and I'm sure I did everything right, but nothing is different! There's no new components, no new robots, nothing! What's going on?

Then you didn't do it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

READ EVERYTHING IN THE INSTRUCTIONS! DO EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!!

Maybe I haven't actually installed the files, which it doesn't say how to do. How do I install them?

If you want to keep playing the original game, make a new copy (you can just do copy/paste on the desktop). When it asks if you want to overwrite files, you click "Yes to All". It will change all of the files to DSL files.

What do you mean a new copy?

If you want to keep playing the original Robot Arena 2 game. You need to make another Robot Arena 2. DSL will change absolutely everything in the game, and there is no easy way to go back to the original game. If you want to keep playing the original game too, just right-click it, select "Copy". then Right-click anywhere on your desktop and select "Paste".

The copy is the same as the original and the files won't go into it.

Is the game your useing a downloaded, or is it from the CD?

Dark Richician · « **Reply #10 on:** December 25, 2008, 09:18:59 PM »

It's the CD and all I want is to get the Robot Wars robots but I've had no luck.

Do you use a Nivida card? If so, you need to download patch1.3.

Dark Richician · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2008, 09:27:34 PM »

Nope. I don't even know what a Nivida card is.

I think i know the problem..

Do you even know how to get to your RA2 folder? I have a feeling you just downloaded dsl and expected it to work.

R1885 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2008, 09:31:11 PM »

I ment a graphics card.

That's would be it. I can get to the folder but I can't work out what else I need to do.

You need to exract it with Winrar.

Dark Richician · « **Reply #17 on:** December 25, 2008, 09:39:49 PM »

If you mean drag the files from WinRaR to the RA2 file, I already tried that and it made no difference

I actually took Inf's copy of stock RA2 1.3, installed DSL 2.1 (it seems to work) and made a RAR of it, to make things easier for the DSL-hungry newbies here.

I actually try to get the RAR uploaded in the gametechmods file uploader... Well the thing is something like 250 MB... but even if i wait one hour, it doesn't works.
