Anyone tried and succeded in updating the iso on the site to 1.03 or using 1.02 then 1.02 to 1.03...i cant for the life of me understand why it fails to update to 1.03 saying the update is only for the eng fra and ita version...the iso is english doh! .
Let's first check about your version.
I checked mine, it's a 2.24 GB ISO with an included crackfolder with a 2.19 MB cracked .exe, published by Deep Silver and English-only. It updated troublefree directly to v1.03 with I think the patch from Gamershell (but that was over a year ago)
BTW I obviously could no longer use the provided crack and needed a replacement, but I guess that's no big news
I made an .SFV of the iso, so you can make sure it's the same version:
Maybe try again after a fresh install? I just tried the 1.02 update from Gamershell in combination with vty-tu12.rar and it worked OK here in XP Pro SP3
OK, so I got a new patch 1.03 from Gamershell and updating from 1.02 to 1.03 was troublefree here. I had to use vty-sft3.rar to get it to run and all works fine.
The patch I used was SFTunguska_FullUpdate_1.03_UK_FR_IT_US.exe
If that doesn't work for you I don't know what's wrong...
