Hurray! Good job, devs...

Btw. why is there no possibility to manually show compatible Soldat version to Patch Installer?

If anyone else has these issues
Make a screenshot of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Soldat_is1 (run regedit and browse there)

I'm trying to find out why this happens so often.

I guess there is an info about "1.6.1" because v1.6.1 was installed into "1.6.1" folder but later folder was renamed to "1.6.2" and 1.6.1>>1.6.2 patch was installed there... So this is not an installer fault in this case.

Also found out that on windows 64 bit the uninstall reg key is stored in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Soldat_is1

which means the update will fail on 64 bit Winndows...

I got 32 in fact, but anyway... I'll just install full version, again.

Btw. would be cool to have rc2 > 1.6.3 Patch

I think it's time for me to say something in here as well after all these years..

Happy birthday, soldat! It's been quite a ride!
A great indie game never dies, Soldat is the living proof. I hope this game will last forever and it will offer the same amounts of fun as it does today.

Thank you.

im annoyed by the following problem:

1. i have two soldat 1.6.2 soldats installed (folder Soldat and folder Soldat2), first is the one in use, the other is vanilla (no configurations, mods) for testing
1. i download 1.6.2-1.6.3 upgrade
2. during the installation im asked to choose the folder with soldat 1.6.2 to upgrade
3. there's only one to choose on the list and it's the wrong one (Soldat2)
4. i cancel the installation and remove the entire Soldat2 folder hoping that the upgrade will find the correct one
5. I run the installation again and it still has Soldat2 folder checked, it occurs it wants to create it now
6. I mess around a little (removing Soldat2 folder from trash, downloading upgrade again) and now it says it can't localize the compatible soldat version
7. I have to install soldat from scratch yet again

btw, whats "Soldat alt+tab bug"?

10 Years, crumbs times files.

Glad to see everything's still going well around here.

Just downloaded v1.6.3 and found my s-reg key issued in 2/5/03...wonder if it still works

Perhaps see some of you out there on the battle field !

Crucifix offers new type of gameplay, and it's not at all as bad as it looks. Try it with an open mind, and don't be so afraid of change.
If you really don't like it, don't play it.

Don't worry, it's the same for Teeworlds.
Anyway, congratulations for your tenth anniversary release.
Let's hope Teeworlds 0.7 will make it for its fifth anniversary next sunday (20.05.)

You uninstalled soldat now it cant find the uninstall keys.
There are several bugs in the updater. Some because of win64 path stuff (i think) and some because soldat is so kind and changes paths in the uninstall key when you run it.
The solution for your problem:
Install soldat 1.6.2 and then run the soldat.exe in your soldat2 folder.

@ Thomas:
Well somehow there were no issues when testing the beta/rc1/rc2 and the bugs I have been told about were fixed.
Lets see next time...

Nice explanetion. Requesting double-smite button already...

You smite him just because he doesn't like your map?

It seems your map isn't very popular at the moment.
I myself tested it in the #soldat.mapping channel.
And I remember most people being unhappy about the layout.

I could try to give some constructive criticism about the map.
But if you're gonna react negativity or smite, I'm not sure it's worth it.

Hoping I'm wrong.

^ Is that really constructive criticism in your opinion, Bistoufly? Not in my one so I'm feeling free to smite that spam shit...

Monsteri · « **Reply #38 on:** May 12, 2012, 01:56:16 am »

Well this came out of the bush and slammed me in the face. Time to play Soldat again I guess.

Good job devs!

StartVoteMap(1,'Arena2');

spits out:

Compiling vote -> votemap.pas...
vote -> [Error] (17:30): Type mismatch

May it be buggy?
