Do I need to patch Timeshock?

Postby wonderboy » Wed Apr 09, 2014 3:12 am

I have the game running well in Windows 7 64bit (CD version) but I am wondering if applying the patch has any advantages for me?

I have heard of several versions, 1.07, 1.20 etc, but I'm not sure if I should apply one and which one is best?

You should apply all the patches starting with the lowest version patch and finally to the hightest version 1.07.
Then you should copy the 1.20 timeshock executable (make a backup first if you want).

You have to do it in this way because there are files other than executable that are updated in prior versions too.

Thanks for your reply : )

I have 3 questions in regards to the patching:

1) What patches are there (so I don't miss any) and do you know where a good place is to find them all?

2) How do I apply the patches properly, because I tried the first one (v1.07) already. It was just some files that I dragged over to the installation folder, but it didn't work and caused problems, so obviously I did something wrong?

3) What will I benefit from in going to the trouble of patching it fully?

Thanks again!

I am unaware of any files other than the exe changing, and I've used every patch. You can drop the 1.20 right into your directory AFAIK. But it may not help, it's a priority fix that doesn't appear to be needed in Windows 7.

For fun, attached are the 1.20b patches and Luigi Auriemma's brilliant NoCD patches. The 1.20b patches worked on XP but like I said I don't need them on Win7 x64. The NoCD patches are still needed unless you use the Kickstarter version of TS.

Not 120b, only if you use WinXP, the sticky flipper problem caused by to high priority setting in XP, not needed for Win7
