My guess is that you forgot to make the change and the files tried to go to Program Files (and silently failed). I forget things all the time thus why I suggest this is possible 
Nothing is different with the 4.12.2 RAR extractor so the various other complications are where the answer is. |
Thanks for the clarification Ice. Downloading this game is my first real experience in "back door" computing. So it has really been a challenge for me, at the same time it is rewarding. Learning something new every time. Having encountered errors and glitches in the game and not knowing what files are missing or what I may have messed up and not knowledgeable of the fixes, I have resorted to re-installing the game numerous times already.
One recent problem I had trying to make the the update work was that, in the process, it lost the wide screen resolution capability
. Re-installed and still would not do it but, I figured out all it took was one click of an application. I do try to think logically and see how the computer thinks.
And yes, even as simple as moving the file is new to me. I will take that advise and I thank you...So just create a new folder in the c: drive..that's it!!!!
BTW I am only using a non gaming computer with an i3 CPU...I'm just glad it works
P.S. In moving the file, I discovered that the the game files downloaded in two separate folders, one under ubisoft and the other with GOG Games folder??? Wonder why it did that, not a good thing. Surprised the game was even loading!!!! Could have been the likely cause for the update not to have downloaded. I've merged the two files since.
