Available updates (v1.05)

[Poo Bear]

New version ready so hit your in game update button to get it.

The main downloads have been updated, so if you downloaded the demo after this date you have the latest version anyway. You can double check by hitting update in game.


1. saves referring to user adventures that have been deleted causes game crash.
2. cannot download user adventures.
3. old user adventures that need update don't always register properly and therefore don't ever get updated.
4. unicode support for foreign language windows installs.
5. pressing escape and fire1 can sometimes get the PDA in a confused state.
6. rare message log error can crash the game.
7. another instance of having multiple blue keys, this one causes a crash when you meet Samson.

Do you get an error? Where does it go wrong?

I have a problem running SaveHuey: The game crashed after I created a new game for SaveHuey. After a restart of Mr.Robot the game now appears in the profile list, but Mr.Robot still crashes when I try to start it. Creating another SaveHuey game inside another still empty profile did not help.

I just downloaded the game. The content of directory 11 in directory 'unofficial' looks fine as far as I can tell. Other games (for example ZonaRosa) work fine.

MPErrorStream.html is empty.

EDIT: Same problem for DrBrainRedux which I just downloaded. It seems as if DrBrainRedux does not even appear in the 'unofficial'-directory.

Is it save to delete directories there? Number 14 seems to be corrupted.

That happened to me too - the game crashed trying to start Save Huey. Sometimes I'd get an assert "unknown object type 275" or similar.

I fixed it by a fresh download and install of 1.05. I'd first tried cleaning out my My Documents/MrRobot but that didn't work. (I haven't yet tried putting my save games back with the working 1.05, though.)

We do know of one issue BUT we can't understand how it would cause a problem: currently, the downloads directory isn't cleared when you download an adventure. If you upgrade, it then copies everything over the root of the game install dir. None of this still gets loaded though.

Maybe as Rup mentioned, try deleting everything in your install dir, then install again using the latest version. Maybe ... (I'm clutching at straws though).

Weird this - we can definitely recreate the unicode XP accounts issue, but not this. Before you delete it, could you have a look in your install dir and let me know what's in there.

-thanks!

The update appears to be missing some changes that are in the v1.05 clean install: crucially objects.config definitions 275 and 276, cryogenics lift wall and lift wall top, and the two model and texture files for them. These are used in Save Huey hence the crash.

There's also missing changes to frontend\eidolon_diorama\scene.mdl and blackhole.str (change Polish to Russian) that are in a v1.05 MrRobot.000 but not the v1.05 upgrade MrRobot.001.

I'm updating from a v1.00 MrRobot.000. It'd make sense if these changes were in the v1.02 MrRobot.000 (I don't have a v1.02 installer to hand to check), so applying the v1.05 patch to a v1.02 install would work fine, but they weren't in the v1.02 upgrade MrRobot.001 either.

Hmm, they should be in the .001 file. They wer in the 102 patch

Thanks tons anyway - that's narrowed down what's going on with some people. If we fix this and fix the unicode user account issue, I think we should be back on track
