hello,
i used to play the original settlers VI from d2d and it worked great.

recently i bought the gold edition to play the expansion pack, however the game crashes quite regularly. if i use high graphics settings it will crash almost immediately after entering the game, if i turn them down it will run well but will always crash after about 20-30minutes of play.

i also get the problem where launching makes the screen go black and the monitor clicks repeatedly like it's degaussing, i was able to work around that by running the exe directly.

in looking at the patch notes it seems like some crash issues have been addressed, however, direct2drive does not have a patch available to patch their version to 1.7, and their support says that i should contact the developer. (the version number is 1.6.4287 extra 1)

when i run the patches available from the links in this forum it says they are not compatible.

any ideas of how i can update?

thanks,
-andy crosby

The latest patch won't solve your crashing problem, as all it does is remove the Tages DRM, and allow users with the DVD version to play without the disc.

The Gold versions of the game sometimes give problems with installing the latest patch, but the solution is quite simple.

Go into the folder the game is installed to, look in both Program Files/Ubisoft/THE SETTLERS-Rise of an Empire/base/bin and Program Files/Ubisoft/THE SETTLERS-Rise of an Empire/extra/bin and if you see a config file called "s6patch.ini" delete it.

Now, you should be able to manually download and install the latest Patch 1,71 without problems.

Your crashing problems may be due to heat, as you are able to run the game longer with lower settings, which will stress the video card less, and it will run cooler as a result.

Some video cards are overclocked by the makers, and can cause problems like this in some games, an easy way of checking if this is the cause, is to use something like Rivatuner or NVIDIA System Tools, to lower the clock rate of both the GPU and the video ram, and also to increase the fan speed on the card.

all Direct 2 Drive games have to be patched with a patch from Direct 2 Drive to take into account the modified exe and protection files due to the lack of a disc that would normaly be needed in retail copies.

In the case of patch 1.71, it doesn't matter cas, as the patch removes the files that would normally make the game look for a disc, so the DVD version and the Digital versions end up the same after the patch.

not always as like steam D2D has bit that stop the game from being installed on loads of differant PC's so will probly still have minor differances to the retail box (this is the reason why memory hacks that work on DVD programs normaly dont work on digital copies)

The D2D version and the DVD version both had Tages DRM, all the patch does is remove Tages, and replaces the game exe with an unprotected one.

The earlier RoaE DVD patches shouldn't be used on D2D version, as this would then cause the game to request a disc when you try to play.

That's something you see a lot of on other game forums, when someone installs the DVD patch on a Digital version, and then finds the game asking the to insert the disc.

well, it turns out if you delete the s6patch.ini file as directed in some of the other threads, the patch will apply and it seems to update to the most recent version.

bad news is i still get crashes after 5-20minutes of play, even with all details turned low. and this is with an 8800gt which should be able to handle the game fine..

I am having a problem with my Direct 2 Drive version of settlers. I used your solution BTOG46, and instead of the previous message saying 'patch incompatible with the installed version' it now installs. However, when I get in game it still says version 1.64... at the bottom. Also when I try to join any online games it says we do not have the same version. I assume everyone is using version 1.7.. and this is why I can't play. I would appreciate it if you can give me a solution asap as the multiplayer was the only reason I bought this game.

You can download the latest patch here

If that last post was in reply to me, read my post again. I have already installed the patch the problem is that the game seems to not be registering it and I can't join 80% of online games! Solution please!

Do you have the Gold version, or just the original Rise of an Empire, without the Eastern Realm Expansion?

I ask this as you say you can't join 80% of online games, maybe the ones you can't join are playing the Eastern Realm games.

I have the gold edition. I say I can't join 80% of the games because some people must also be using the older version, so far I have played 2 online games. When I try to join games using different maps, for example Eastern Realms maps, a message appears saying the host has a different map pack or something along those lines. I have tried Eastern Realms online a few times but the problem I described is happening on the original game. At times I have switched between the two just to determine which game the host was playing. Perhaps there is a patch specific to the gold version I should download?

The host may also be playing on user created maps, and not on the ones provided with the game, in which case, unless you know the map, and where to download it, you'll be unable to play in that game.

I realize that.... in which case the error will once again mention a map pack. The error says that the versions are not a match because I have 1.64. Although I have installed version 1.7.1 by deleting the s6patch.ini file and running the 1.7.1 patch file, the game still says version 1.64 down bottom and there are version match errors almost every time I try to get a game, do you understand the problem?

Did you delete both s6patch.ini files, with Eastern Realms installed, there are two s6patch.ini files, the original Rise of an Empire one in "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\THE SETTLERS - Rise of an Empire\base\bin" and the Easter Realm expansion one in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\THE SETTLERS - Rise of an Empire\extra1\bin.

I only made the point about maps, because you said you were getting a message saying the host has a different map pack.

I didn't mean to sound rude it was just a very irritating problem. Anyway I didn't realize there were two separate s6patch.ini so I just used your advice and now my game is at 1.7.1. Thanks I really appreciate it!

Glad you got it sorted out, have fun.
