ZeroCore Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well the best thing to do first is this: DON'T PANIC. If you get stressed over it, you might overlook something that you might have otherwise noticed (I get that you're mad over this, I would be too, but the best first step to solving any problems is to approach it with a cool head). Now then... First off, are you sure that you've tried all the patches? Secondly, do you know what version your game is already at? Third, do you have the Shivering Isles/Knights of the Nine/any other DLC's installed? Worst comes to worse, you could try this; copy your save files and paste them into another folder on your computer. Then do the same for any mods that you've downloaded. Uninstall your game and then reinstall it, place the saves and your mod files (the ones I told you to copy before) into the right folders once you've reinstalled, and then try the patch again. I know it's sort of a last-ditch thing, but it might work; if the patch didn't work correctly before (and you've followed all other advice and still have gotten nothing but the same bad result again and again) perhaps something didn't install right the first time you installed the game, and now isn't letting the patcher run correctly. Also, although this is probably unrelated, it seems to always be a good idea to run things like patchers in admin mode (to do that, right click on the patch's file and hit "run as administrator"). Sometimes things don't work right (due to firewall settings) and running patches might conflict with one or two firewall settings. This is probably not the cause of your issue, but it's just a general good idea to do if you're trying to install something that won't quite work correctly.
