I'm not sure what you mean by "looking to shaft yourself bigtime". If you mean that you won't be able to use the small update (1.1.0.8 -> 1.1.0.9), then yes it won't work because you're not at version 1.1.0.8 anymore.
The only way you'll be able to update your installation when the official version is released is to run the *official* full 1.1.0.9 installer. There's nothing special about this pre-release version except that it won't authenticate so you can play on the Internet. I'm not sure what happened to you last time, but there shouldn't be any problems. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 10:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] HL 1.1.0.9 Update DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! If the pre-release version of 109 does the same thing that 108 did, then you setting yourself up for a BIG screwing if you install it. When I installed the pre-release version of 108, the 'official' 108 version refused to install because of the version numbers being screwed up. I ended having to completely re-install halflife and all the damn patches from scratch to fix the problem. In other words, do a complete backup of your halflife folder -before- you even think about installing the pre-release patch unless you're looking to shaft yourself bigtime. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
