Overlord Patches Released
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 04, 2007 10:07am PDTCodemasters has released the v1.1 update for Overlord, fixing two issues. One issue relates to uninstalling the game; this could possibly result in data loss if you have it installed to a custom directory. The second fix takes care of a rare bug that keep players from finishing the game. There's also a patch for the demo, which takes care of the same uninstalling bug.

"---------
Summary
---------
Since release of Overlord we have become aware of two critical issues which were not discovered during the extensive internal testing at Codemasters.
The first issue relates to the uninstaller for both the demo and the full game and applies if you installed the game to a custom directory. Anyone who installed to a custom directory should install this patch.
The other issue relates to a potential progress block late in the full game. If you are unable to apply the patch, this document will describe how to avoid triggering this blockage."

"1) Potential loss of data during Uninstall
This will not affect you if you installed the game to:
The default installation directory
A new or empty directory
If you installed the game or demo to a directory which contained, or now contains other data you must install this patch before you uninstall to avoid potential loss of data
Codemasters recommends that this patch is installed even if you believe it will not affect you.
This fix updates the uninstall script to less aggressively delete files in the installation directory, and therefore will not cause an unintended loss of data."
