m-platt Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I was just wondering where both the patches had gone for FM 08? I found a post about 8.0.2 but cannot find anything after searching for the 8.0.1. I have just had to replace my hard drive and so that is why I need to reinstall the patches.

Chocapik Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 You just need to install the 8.0.2 patch. http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=31218 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-platt Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I thought that I would have to install the 8.0.1 patch because that had fixes that were needed and then 8.0.2 had more fixes. Plus I have a save game in first patch mode so need the database for that again. Thanks for the link to 8.0.2 though, much appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleys Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm sure the 8.0.2 patch would fix what was fixed in 8.0.1 as well wouldn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-platt Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm sure the 8.0.2 patch would fix what was fixed in 8.0.1 as well wouldn't it? I'm not sure, hence why I wanted to install both, plus with the fact I have a saved game in the format of 8.0.1 database that I will not be able to load without the db I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleys Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Games with the 8.0.1 database will still load after you've installed the 8.0.2 patch, I know that for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-platt Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I know that as well as I've done this before. But surely they need the database to run and I will not have that as I have had to change my hard drive, so I'm basically reinstalling the game on a new hard drive but have no FM data other than my saves backed up as I thought I could get the patches back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinso Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 ^^ whs... 8.02 includes all the fixes that were in 8.01, as well as the additional ones. thats why you can never find the first patch once the 2nd one is out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes made to the database in 8.0.1 will still be there in 8.0.2 but there may well be other changes as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-platt Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 thats fine then, thank-you all very much! it was the fact that i did not know the database would be saved as part of the save game, that is why i was sceptical. many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
