Hi

Thank you for informing about this workaround for single player.

I re-named 'scimitar_final.xex' to 'default.xex' and managed to launch the game from FSD with no issues.
After playing the game for a while, I read that there was a title update out. So I downloaded it from FSD and applied it.
But it doesn't work, it shows 'version mismatch' and game will not launch. It will boot back to FSD.

How do I apply title updates to this workaround?

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I will try as you posted, i.e. download and insert title update manually, not alter any files, and launch the game with scimitar_final.sex with fsd file manager. Correct?

If so, that would mean that there is no way to get title updates to work for the 'renaming scimitar_final.xex' method?

 

Thanks a lot, I will try it.
Happy gaming.

 

My BlackFlag's works fine without doing this

 

Meaning you can have title update to work when you rename scimitar_final.sex to default.xex, and launch game from fsd?

 

Hello again,

Just some info and update. I had some time 2 nights ago, so I went and tried to test load AC4.

I re-named the both files back to their original names, ie. scimitar_final.xex and default.xex. I then manually downloaded the TU and placed them in my internal HDD, under Content \ 0000000000000000 \ 555308C2 \ 000B0000.

Before I manually launched scimitar_final.xex, I thought, why not try to launch game from FSD? Since it was back to original files setup now. I tried that, and strangely, it worked! I even went back out to FSD, downloaded TU from FSD and activated it (TU highlighted in green under 'Manage TU' option), and attempted to launch game from FSD. The game launched and played successfully again.. I am not sure what changed, but apparently, it was just re-naming of the files back to their original names so it was back to original files setup. I did not change anything else.

Unfortunately, after some hours of playing the game, it crashed.. showing 'Fatal crash intercepted', and booted back to FSD.
I then tried to start up the game from FSD again.... this time, it went true to form and i got the black screen hang. I could not load up the game from FSD that time.

What is 'Fatal crash intercepted'? I hope it is not something serious that will force me to abandon playing the game, i quite enjoyed it.

Any ideas too on the inconsistencies when launching the game using FSD?

I was too tired after that, so I did not try manually launching game from scimitar_final.xex. Which I guess should work? :S
Once I find some time, I will try again and try to give an update. Any useful info or feedback in the meantime will be much appreciated, Thanks!

Edit: I only have DVD1 extracted, I do not have DVD2 as it is multi-player.
