How to install NeoEE patch

Post by Arntzen »

After installing EE (and AOC if you wish) you can start installing the NeoEE patch to play online with other players.

0. For some reason a lot of anti-virus programs automatically delete/corrupt some of the NeoEE files when downloading so it's highly recommended to temporarily turn any Anti-virus off when downloading and installing NeoEE. (Turn it back on again when the installation is complete).

1. Download the patch from http://www.neoee.net

2. Make sure the file size of the NeoEE.msi file the same as mine:

3. Run NeoEE.msi
You might get this error:

Click "More Info" and "run anyway" as shown in these picture:

Hi,

Recently I tried playing NeoEE with some friends. However I could not get retrieve the Masterserver data.
In the end I decided to reinstall the game and the patch. As mentioned in your stickpost above I recieved mutiple error messages. However, windows identified it as the Trojan win32/Tiggre!rfn. This is a cryptovalue miner.

I then compared the downloaded patch file with the file you specified in your stickypost and found a slight discrapency.

File as posted above.

Could the file be corrupted somehow?

If it's downloaded from neoee.net then your anti-virus is giving a false-positive. Because it's unknown to the anti-virus it'll just assume its a trojan, but it's not.

Actually there are some files which are useless to the game itself. They are named "Loader.exe" and they are the ones Win Defender tries to eliminate. If you let it do its thing, the game will run anyway, so i deleted them just to be sure

This is correct, the "loader.exe" allows you to use the multiplayer lobby with higher resolution than 1024x768. However it's not needed to play the game. My windows defender kept deleting it (even after I told it to make it an exception) so I play without the loader.exe.

your antivirus most likely flagged it as a virus and it's preventing execution.

Dissable your antivirus, redownload, install the neoEE patch, mark the entire EE folder as an exception in your antivirus, re-enable your antivirus.

Hello

I am trying yo install the neo patch with no success. I have downloaded the patch from the neo website but when I try to extract the file I get the flowing message 'A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file (deskptop file) NeoEE'. I can not extract the Neo file. my fire wall is disabled also.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
