Save Empire Earth

Had a problem downloading the patch. The "Check for patch updates" and "Force Patch update" provided an error message which said "Unhandled exception has occurred...Index was outside the bounds of the array". I press continue and it searches for updates but the OK box doesnt allow me to update.

Can anyone assist

Thanks

You can do the updates byself by browsing this sites portal. You will find every patch you need in order to get your game ready to play.

Please copy and paste the full error, including those in the details tab, to a post here on the forums and describe what (if anything) happens between the time you click the button and the time the error pops up.

Also, try using "Run as Administrator" on PatchUpdate.exe to see if that fixes the problem.

thanks Ghost here is what the message says when I press "continue" after I get the error message "Unhandled exception has occurred..."

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I haven't been able to reproduce the error, nor pinpoint the location in my code that causes it. I'd really need more information than just the error.

Hit Force Patch Update. Does it finish downloading patchinfo.dat before you get the error? Does it download any other files? Perhaps paste here the text that's inside the Update window after the error (before you hit OK to close the window)...

I need to know everything that happens, even the tiny little details. If you can't do that, record a video of it or something?
