Hi guys, I need help to install Hammer of Thyrion.
I just did a fresh install of Hexen II and before installing the expansion I try to patch the game and the patch says "Could not update registry. Patch complete", and then it closes and install the expansion.
After that I downloaded Hammer of Thyrion x64, uncompressed it, and copy the content to the install folder of Hexen II. When I try to play it says "You must patch your installation with Raven's 1.11 update". When I try to re run the patch it says "This patch does not apply to your version of Hexen II". I try to run the patch that comes with Hammer of Thyrion and it says
"looks like an unknown pak file
Error: not supported by h2patch!"
So, I can't patch it nor run it...
I'm using Windows 7 x64.
Thanks

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
pak1.pak is the hexen2 cdrom version, at least by looking at its size. However, pak0.pak is really unknown: the cdrom version must be 21714275 bytes but yours is different. What is your game media? Some sort of customized cdrom? (possibly a warez cdrom?)

Ive almost gotten a build of hexen II to run.. Trying to start as one of the characters leads to another interfering-crash though. I can upload the build ive put together so far from the web, Its just.. Please can someone help me figure out whats wrong with it?

Open a command prompt (command console, cmd.exe, whatever windows
is calling it these days), cd into your hexen2 directory and run:
h2patch
It should apply the patch and you'll be ready to go.
I did it, the response was:
"looks like an unknown pak file
Error: not supported by h2patch!"
In the command prompt, type:
dir data1*.pak
and show me what it says
20/06/1997 04:27 p.m. 21.714.283 PAK0.PAK
20/06/1997 04:11 p.m. 76.958.474 PAK1.PAK

It was a backup from my retail CD. I use my original CD as my backup was scratchy, and copy the pak0.pak.
I re run the h2patch and now it says:
File data1\pak1.pak :
... looks like retail, from Hexen II cdrom (v1.03)
... applying patch...
target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT
25165824 bytes, 0.64s
... Error: patch failed! file corrupted?
Nevermind, I did a complete re install using my original CD and it worked!
