General Support / Weird Glitches
« on: May 03, 2012, 06:56:33 AM »
I have recently reinstalled RA2 on my laptop. It worked perfectly fine before, but my laptop needed to be reformatted so I lost all the data. I made backup copies of my Teams, AI and Robot Designs folders to paste back later though (hopefully that's not a problem).
I installed the 1.3 patch, then DSL 2.0 and 2.1, and then pasted my old Teams, AI and Robot Designs from my previous installation so I could restore all my old data. The game starts up fine and the battles start, but the arenas take a really long time to load and there are a few glitches when it finally does. Sometimes one of the robots just doesn't appear in the battle and is eliminated immediately. Sometimes robots fly around the arena for seemingly no reason. Sometimes the robots start the battle several feet in the air and it takes quite a while for them to drop down to the ground (if this glitch is present, the game usually crashes during the battle).
I never had any of these issues when I had it installed before. I noticed in the DSL readme files that it tells you to install the 1.2 patch. Is the 1.3 patch compatible too or do I need to find 1.2? Also, is it possible that pasting my old folders back in has messed up the game somehow?
Thanks for reading this. I appreciate any help you may be able to give me.
