patcher is taking way to long to patch

[Fenrir454]

ok i got the thing down loaded and installed and when i go to patch it acts normally like it is patching but the thing has been taking WAY to long, about two hours, the only thing it gives me is "applying patch" which it isn't, so any one know a solution? a little help would help alot since this game is dying fast, VERY fast.

Well, I don't rush no matter what the situation is, and if the game is dying it's a reflection of people being impatient 10 year olds who are used to being spoonfed, and aren't getting it.


That said, go look at:

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Login>\Local Settings\Temp

and see if you find a fiesta.patch.????????.exe (the ???? will be numbers, with a - between them quite possibly) If you find the .exe file like I mention, right click on it... go to compatibility, select 'windows 2000', then confirm and close the compatibility window. After you do so, double click on the file in the temp directory, and it should install with minimal, or no issues.

If it still errors, it -should- generate a fiesta.exe.log file. If it acts up, please copy/paste the -full- contents of the fiesta.exe.log into this thread, and we'll take a peek and see what's happening.

ok how the hell do i get to compatibility with a right click?

if it's an executable (.exe) as I asked you to find, you should be able to right click on it, select 'properties', go to the 'compatibility' tab, check the box to enable it, select 'windows 2000', then confirm the change, and close that window. After you do so, double click on it and we'll see what happens :)
