getting a copy of old FAFOREVER folder

[JamieG]

Hi


Do you have an archive of the FaForever installed folder going back to 05/2016? if so can you point me to a download of this please. Patch 3654.


Thanks

What do you need it for?

Hi Speed - you may remember a while back I was asking about playing missions with FAF and it used to work but stopped working due to no expansion. My friends and I are 100000% certain this was working and are trying to get missions back working but without using coop or the FAF client, never got it working with coop mode but that wasn't what we were after.

So we've looked back to when roughly it worked and it was around this time.

So I've seen the .zip file - thanks for posting this, what do I do with it, it's not as simple as just over writing my FAFOREVER folder etc?

Thanks again,

So I'm trying to get the folders below back to this older version

100000% certain

I think you have to compile these files with Python.

I've done it on linux but I don't know how to do it on windows
best of luck
you really should be fixing compatibility issues instead so everyone can profit from it and the other FAF features and balance and bug fixes at the same time.

i think it's unreasonable to expect new coop missions to work with old patches
if they don't work on faf you can report that if you want to play the steam version/retail then you can do that too

I am still confused at what you want.

How could it stop working if you never used faf client or coop?
The files shouldn't have changed at all then.
So what changed?

And explain what you are doing exactly and what isn't working properly.
So we can understand your problem and help you fix it.


PS: Sorry for offtopic
@tatsu don't know why you confuse % with modulo really.
This is how more than 100% works:

YEs it was mathematically wrong of me. I'm sorry. but heed the context of what was said in this thread. 100% certainty. now if you say i have one whole certainty about this matter or if you say i am half-certain about this matter I still follow but if you say I am one thousand certains... then you kinda lost me.

seems to me like % is actually setting a mod in this case

yes this is way off topic and it's all my fault I'm sorry


I agree whatever it is he wants to do it can necessarily be done (and be done better) in current faf.

As said we don't want to use COOP therefore we're not expecting anything on the COOP version, but thanks for your input.

Here's what has happened, we've been using FAF version of SC for a while, one of my colleagues has the FAF client and regularly updates because he likes to be cutting edge and have the best things however others of us really enjoyed playing the missions, at some point last year the missions stopped expanding after a patch therefore we're wanting to get back to that patch level so our missions expand again.

So my colleague updates his FAF SC via his FAF client and copies the whole FAFOREVER folder to our machines, this is how we update.

What we are trying to do is get back to a version from last year where missions were working perfectly. Mission of for example "overload" wont expand but units do come through, brackman lands and does his stuff and all his unit go off screen when attacking, as before you then get hit hard on the coastal side by stuff you can't see due to no expansion.

So I've got the "fa-3654" patch files and I need to find out how to install this to my FAFOREVER folder?

Cheers and I appreciate.
