LMFAO, ok then. LOL -- it's not that good a game then?

[Melanie68]

I thought it was a very interesting game and I quite liked it. Having technical problems (which is unfortunate for the both of you) doesn't equal the game not being good. Bug Ubisoft and see if you get a response (you may need to be patient) and then try it again.

I've had problems with this game and its expansion as well. Worked like a charm when I first got it but now I'm not getting 90% of the emails I should be getting. I even set my settings to allow all mails through and getting nothing. Frustrating to say the least.

It's got an expansion? What do you mean?

[Dale Baldwin]

The 13th Victim was released in the US (and France as well?), as a standalone expansion to Missing.

I have the same problem.

I never finished the game the first time around and none of the patches worked for me after they changed the servers. I just got a new computer and thought this would be a great time to try again (also I just watched the evidence trailers )
But no go.

Every patch I have tried, it pops up with the "starting wise installer" window, which just disappears then nothing. Some patches (the European ones I think) let me choose the language but it just disappears after that. The installer just dies.

If anyone has had this problem and figured it out I would love to hear about it!

I'm going to try unpacking the patch installer and see if I can get it to work manually :S

[edit]
Holy crap that worked.
Okay I used Universal Extractor to unpack one of the patches and copied the resulting .cxt files into the right In Memoriam folder.
The unpacker gave me the right folders so it was pretty simple.
If you guys ever come back I hope this is of use!

But now I can't use my email address because it's already registered! Ah well at least I can play

Okay, I tried to do that, but being pretty lame at that technical stuff, I don't think I'm really understanding what I'm supposed to do.
Where do you find the .cxt files and which folder should they go into? I have the exact same problem, with only being allowed to choose the language before it goes down!

[benhubbard]

Okay I've just checked on my computer where I unpacked the patch file...

If you extract everything in the patch EXE to somewhere temporary, you should have folders like this:
MAINDIR\Media\Dir\Cst\
In Cst there are a bunch of cxt files, which I was referring to.
MAINDIR is equivalent to your In Memoriam install folder (c: \program files\in memoriam\ most likely)

If you just copy the Media folder and paste it into your In Memoriam folder, it will overwrite all the correct files and away you go.

Hopefully this is a bit clearer!

If you're having trouble extracting the patch I could just zip it and upload it somewhere

bh, thank you so much. I have been gnashing my teeth for over a month trying to get this game installed and the patches operational. I had come to the determination that the game servers were no longer running. That nifty little utility you posted a link to (along with your helpful instructions) did the trick. Can I knit you a pair of socks? LOL

Kthankxby

[benhubbard]

Ah excellent!

I gnashed my teeth for a good year or so before I got it to work so it looks like I saved you some teeth gnashing time

I wonder what it is that makes the patches not work, I found absolutely nothing about this bug anywhere on the net.

Good to hear the servers aren't down too

[tinah44]

I just bought missing the 13th victim and it doesnt wiork, can someone help. it says its a add on to the fist game cant i play this one anyway?

[Melanie68]

The 13th victim is an expansion pack so you need the original game to play.

I've only just started playing "In Memoriam" now, several years after the previous post! And I've certainly got content on Xineph.com. There was nothing at first, then I reloaded the page and it worked fine. (Being patient might have worked, too.)

It's all in Shockwave, so I had to download and install the plugin and then wait for the content to open. And it's in French. But it's certainly there and seems to be fully functional.

Whether other sites will work, I'll have to wait and see. So far I'm up against a brick wall already, trying to figure out the stuff on Xineph.
