Title: Struggling with installing DSL3 Beta
Post by: jackwi11 on April 23, 2014, 09:19:10 AM
Before you all start moaning at me if this has been posted somewhere else, I've been looking for ages. With the DSL3 Beta it says you have to have a stock version of RA2. But I cannot find any stock versions! I downloaded RA2 V1.4 but it crashes as soon as it starts up! Please help me. All I want is the stock version of RA2 which I can put DSL3 Beta on!

That's the one I downloaded but when I put the DSL3 Beta on it, it crashes straight away

If you've only tried once, just give it another try and see what happens. RA2 is kind of tempermental.

You are extracting the files from the .rar to the game folder and overwriting all, right?

I extract them, delete the stock files replace them with the dsl3 beta, I got on fine the first time went to play a match but then crashed and every time after that I start it up and it crashes

Why delete? Simply move the DSL3 Beta files into the V1.4 folder and Overwrite All when the message pops up. If you're deleting things, you may be deleting something the game needs.

You don't need to manually delete the stock files. All you have to do is make sure the files for DSL3 overwrite the stock files. Some of the stock files will remain because they will still be used.

Edit: Damnit, Craaig.

Oh ok, I'll try now
