The play in these games you must download the Fan Patch, but if you have that on, you will not be able to go into other non-FP games. Fan Patch is mainly played by higher skilled players. I would reccomend you playing on the standard RE (Robot Entertainment) Patch. Just ignore the CRC Mismatch for now. 1st Leiut. with Russia , Master Sergeant with everything else. My skill level is incalculable!!! Its been forever since I played seriously.. Mike Sass: Culverins are like Garrichistos, only theyre cannons. |
posted 11-06-09 11:56 PM EDT (US) 2 / 8 The Fan Patch was created to fix balance in the gameBut in the process failed, made the OP civs decent (japan/iros/india), and the already bad/okay civs (sioux/ottos) worse. So in the end, as long as people dont lame india/iros (in 3 vs 3 its okay), I wont mind playing any game. CRC mismatch can also mean that you have an expansion which the people hosting do not, and you can not join. DISTISOP ESO: Blitzkrieg_Mario Prefered civs: Hell, I like them all. Rank: TWC PR 18 (master sergeant) TAD PR 17, Vanilla PR 12 Clan: Triple Entente Favorite games: Dofus, AoE 3, Tremulous, CoD 4, SSBB, Urban Terror |

CRC Mismatch is often caused by modifying core game files, so if you've done any of that recently (maybe downloaded a mod) then reverse the changes and the problem should be fixed |

posted 11-07-09 12:44 PM EDT (US) 5 / 8 Do you play on Vanilla or TAD? If you're on a Mac, then there's a new patch I recently found out about which can be downloaded here: http://destineergames.com/support/?page_id=88 If you have Windows or play on TAD then just ignore me. |
posted 11-07-09 12:56 PM EDT (US) 6 / 8 i have the CC which contains all of em and i play on windows. but i use TAD to play. [This message has been edited by xXNoobskiXx (edited 11-07-2009 @ 12:58 PM).] |
posted 11-07-09 02:37 PM EDT (US) 7 / 8 CRC Mismatch also happens when you get a bad update. I couldn't play AOE3 because I updated with the built in updater but on TAD I downloaded the update from the site and that one worked for me. I just reinstalled AOE3 and just downloaded the updates manually instead of in game and it worked. |

TBH i don't recall you ever even playing on it before , hope you aren't just copying someone elses opinion? |
