Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Game no good?

I bought the game 1st may 2004 from Virgin megastore.
It loaded and configured, o.k.
After 5/10 minutes playing it drops out to win/xp desktop.
Saw there was a patch (1.42) available.
Tried to install patch but small message says:-
"this is not the good game version"
On the main game sreen in bottom right,it says, V1.100
any idea's ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I think that your problem is related to the game, not the version
The game for which the 1.42 patch has been relased is BEYOND DIVINITY (Divine Divinity´s sequel). The patch that you are looking for is the 1.34 patch. You may donload it from the DD official ENGLISH page:

www.divinedivinity.com/english/index1.htm

That should work fine.

I must confess, to my shame, that I nearly incurred in the same problem. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" />

Abbe, which game are you talking about? Beyond Divinity or Divine Divinity?

Thanks you guy's for the respose,

It' my first post, and, yes , i posted in the wrong forum, i will pay more attention in future,

shall i re-post into beyond divinity (tech/prob's) or can this thread be moved over?

Topics can get moved, but I think the Larians are a little busy at the moment.

Did you install the game and patch from an account with administrative privileges? The patch checks the registry to get the install path, as well as the current version, located under;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LarianStudios\BeyondDivinity
