So one of my friends installed the game a few weeks ago, but the game would never install correctly. The issue that was displayed was that some code in one of the phsyics.dll files were either corrupted or not found. We tried redownloading the game several times(which was excruciating due to his download speed of 700kb/s), and the game always had the same issue. We uninstalled, reinstalled, checked forums, nothing.
So I took it on myself to fix the issue. I copied the ENTIRE binaries folder from my game(which works fine) and deleted his binaries folder, replacing it with my copy. His game now works and launches as intended, but it WILL NOT UPDATE. It will play skirmishes, but it wont validate the game for updates. Now i also have the same issue. I cannot update either.
We both really love this game and would appreciate any help! We NEED to get back online!
