Which version of ChaosUt2k4 should I Install? (Ut2k4EC)

Post by PersonWithAQuestion »

Which version of ChaosUt2k4 should i Install when I have the Editor's Choise Edition of Unreal Tournament 2004 with Chaos on the same DVD?

(If you are looking for some exiting, energic and adventourus music for playing along a heavy mutated version of UT99 or 2004 you should try out anything by Bal-Sagoth. Especially "Behold, The Armies Of War Descend Screaming From The Heavens!" "The Thirteen Cryptical Prophecies Of Mu" "Blood slakes the Sand at the Circus Maximus" "And lo, when the Imperium marches against Cul-Kothoth, then dark sorceries shall enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown".)

You can try to install the ECE version but its has lots of things missing from the full version, thus consider it a "trail" or "demo" :) We were given a strict file size requirement for the ECE disk so had to cut many things. Your best bet it to skip that version and download the PR3.6 full version.And we felt it was not worth the time to support a patch from the ECE to the current version only because it would be a very big patch. So we made the call to have the ECE user just get the full of what ever is out there.

I wan't explaining myself very well. What i meant was that I already have installed chaos form the ECE Dvd and I want to upgrade now that I have access to a fast internet connection. From what you are saying I guess that I should just download the lastest full install version (36) and just install it over the old one.

Do you think it will work fine to upgrade like that with the other mods that came with the Editor's Choise Edition, like Air Buccaneers, Red Orchestra, Clone Bandits and the others? You know just installing the latest full version over the ECE version of the mod? Do you know any mods (that doesn't neccesarily come with ECE) that one should uninstall or manually modify something on, before one install the latest version?

No problem as I got what you were saying. But yes you have to get the full version of PR3.6 as we do not have an upgrade patch from ECE. Sorry about that.

To be honest I am not sure on the other mods. Some may have and ECE to their current version patch so it will save on the size of the download. So I guess you will have to go and check out each of them to see what they have. I dont think it will hurt to download the full version of any of those mods...

I had a few dilemmas like that in some mods. It should write in their readme. For example Siege 2004 needed uninstalling and THEN installing new version.
