Even though the first post isn't updated yet, my site has all of the English and Polish releases up. If I could also get the FTP login or some direct links for the Italian releases so I can get those as well, that would be great. Thanks. :-)

From FAQ topic... (read or search before to post!)

1) Run time error 429 - activeX component can't create object!

Install both the setup files in AutoPatchers \win9xnt folder

If that doesnt work, go to start > run, type REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL and press enter

If that doesnt work, copy files from C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin to C:\Windows\System32

Hi all,

Just finished installing a fresh WInXP Pro with SP2 and as many times before; installed autopatcher (the Aug 06 ver, just downloaded) but this time round i'm seeing problems i never saw before.

The machine is:

AND Athlon +1800

1.54 GHz, 512 MB RAM

on a 120 GB Sygate IDE drive.

This is after i've already updated from Windows update.

All hardware and software on this system works fine but the Autopatcher won't update as usual. i've finished checking all the updates i want and hit Update, the app goes (too fast) through to the end in a matter of seconds and finishes, asking for a reboot - none of the updates were implemented of course.

as i wrote above, i used Autopatcher quite a few times in the past and never saw this kind of behavior.

I will mention that prior the Aug 06 install i ran the Sept 05 ver (before i found the current) and got the same results as above.

Did this happen to anyone? please advise.

Thx much in advance,

Sawndz.

When does the update version update from ? I have the Dec 05 lite version and the Feb 06 update. Is the Aug update everything since Feb, or when ? I cannot download the full one coz my bandwidth is crap. Thanks

No, the August Update is just the changes between the July release and now.

I recently downloaded the new autopachter release. When it starts installing the non critical update name by Windows XP COM+ Rollup, an error window pops up saying that Windows Service Pack Setup caused errors, and what happens is that all the non critical updates titled firstly with "FIX:" aren't installed (mostly for WMP), afterwards autopatcher continues to uninstall all the other updates successfully.

I installed the latest July release (...)

A similar thing happens with new virtual drives I try to add. They can be seen in the device manager but no drive letter is assigned to them, therefore they can't be used.. It happened so with DeamonTools and Alcohol120%. The same thing will probably happen if I try to install a new cd-dvd drive but I haven't tested that. Again, the drives that are already installed work properly..

Has anybody noticed something like that? Any suspicions for the responsible hotfix? Unless it's something other than that, but I don't think so..

(...)

I read about this in readers' letters in a computer magazine last month (in July) - I'll try to translate it from Croatian:

Windows against Daemon Tools

I believe that most of us use Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% - especially their virtual device. Because of that I want to draw attention NOT TO INSTALL the newest patch from Windows Update KB914784 because it will make you big problems with virtual SCSI controller, and the applications themselves are not longer possible to be uninstalled or reinstalled.

(...)

The KB914784 patches the Kernel Protection, but Kernel has to be patched from DT/Alcohol in order to install virtual drive, i. e. its controller.

I hope this fixes your problem, aliendna51.

No Rapidshare links please...

Q: Would it be helpful if i uploaded AutoPatcher to as many free hosting services as possible and give out the links?

A: No not really, we may occasionally use free hosting services but AutoPatcher requires a lot of bandwidth and we dont want to wear them out. I (theblazingangel) remember when i first visited this forum, the team were looking for mirrors and i offered to do this. I think i was ignored for being such a noob

      Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
