Title: How To Install Patches and get them Working on Windows Vista and XP
Post by: montysreaper on July 22, 2008, 06:19:07 AM
Ok, I'm rather new to OpenArena and I have downloaded the most recent patch, but I don't know how to make it work.

Thanks in Advance for Help

Extract the patch.

In the openarena-0.7.6 you will need:

SDL.dll
/baseoa/pak7-patch.pk3

Place the SDL.dll in: openarena-0.7.6/SDL.dll
Place pak7-patch.pk3 in: openarena-0.7.6/baseoa/pak7-patch.pk3

I have done that, but It still isn't working.

When I downloaded the Patch, I got an Installer.

Run the executable, and when it prompts you direct the installer to where you installed OpenArena.

If this doesn't work, then download the zip version.
