I jus downloaded 1.16 from Paradox's Gamers Gate, and there is no USA scenario, unlike in the demo. Where is it, and there are patches available, but the update button doesn't find any. ANy help?

The ingame update button will not download patches or new versions - it will only download new content such as policies, dilemmas, etc. All the patches are available in this thread, so if you have 1.16, you need to download the following patches:

http://www.positech.co.uk/democracy2/De ... tch117.exe
http://www.positech.co.uk/democracy2/De ... ch1171.exe

And install them in that order.

patch 1.18 today, just some minor data fixes:

1.18
-------
Fixed bug where dilemmas cant be ignored but F6 ignores them anyway,.
Fixed text for the royal scandal dilemma.
Fixed some poor choice of values for the rail strikes situation
Added links between alcohol tax and law and the crime and violent crime rates

I haven't done a patch from earlier versions yet, but if you really want to upgrade you can reuse the full download link,
Cheers

And what is this link, please?


Edit: I have full 1.12 for a long time (year+ ?) I've missed more scenarios and assumed that in-game update was all there was.

Are you sure that you're talking about Democracy 2? It's not been out for a year yet. 1.12 only came out in February, so you can only have had that for 5 months. The download link will be in the E-mail that you got when you purchased Democracy 2 - the one you used to download the game initially. If you have lost the link, E-mail Cliff and he can send it again.

Hello. I recently purchased the game from a shop. How do I get hold of the 1.18 patch?

[cliffski]

I'm pretty sure you didn't buy democracy 2 from a shop, because the game isn't in shops!
If you *did* buy it from a shop, I'd love to know which one and what the box looked like...

[cliffski]

Ok here is patch 1.20, it updates from 1.19. Anyone buying the game from today onwards direct will have 1.20 anyway.

changes:

1.20
-------
Fixed bug where text would disappear if you went to start a second game in a row (on the choose game screen).
Fixed bug where if you did the tutorial and quit early, then mouse clicks on choose game menu didn't register.

Any problems, email me at cliff@positech.co.uk

[SheepRock]

so if i need 1.19, where do I go to get it?

not finding a link on this post....

would be nice if the support section had downloads instead of hunting around on the forums...

[cliffski]

Damn, I haven't yet done a patch from 1.18-1.19. The easiest solution now if you aren't on dialup is to just redownload the whole game from the purchase link, it's already patched to the very latest version.

[cliffski]

Ok this patch should work better:

1.21
-------
Fixed graphic flickering bug when alt+tabbing out and back.

I am running DEM2 1.17.1. The auto update doesn't seem to do anything.

Is there are readme to see what I am missing? I am all modded up and don't know that I want to wipe out my mods by reinstalling 1.21 from scratch?

My mods were installed under the game install directory and not under documents and settings (however I didn't install any mods which would overwrite original files).

So, I downloaded 1.21, but I am confused as to what I should do. Thanks.

[cliffski]

they should co-exist fine, I don't think there are any problems with mods from 1.71 and the latest version, so you should be safe to install over the top, unless your mods actually changed core game files. I think that its only the exe that changed since 1.171 anyway.
