Astiliano Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 You will need to download the game files and the update. Find the download link (sorry I'm on mobile) and download it. Once downloaded right click and extract to Battleforge. Once you have that, put the updater inside of the Battleforge folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorito97 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 yea thats what i did and this keep showing up. help please ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astiliano Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) ## To help with my explanation open your directory, on the menu click 'View' and on the right side you'll see [ ] File name extensions. Check that box Yeah that's not right, I attached a screen shot of both the extracted game files + the launcher/updater. My advice is to do the following since you should still have the game files downloaded (.rar): Move your downloaded .rar files into Battleforge not Battleforge/Battleforge, Delete Battleforge/Battleforge Now you should have just 1 Battleforge folder with both Updater.zip and BattleForge.rar. Right click on BattleForge.rar and click "Extract to BattleForge\" Right click on Updater.zip and click "Extract Files..." Navigate to what should now be BattleForge/BattleForge and extract there. If you get any errors [Corrupted File ****] then ping me a list and I'll upload them for you OR redownload BattleForge.rar (I had to do it twice as well) If you double click on BattleForge.rar you'll see it has the following directories base, bf1, help, plugins The screenshot you provided doesn't include all of these so I'm not sure if you extracted it correctly or if something went wrong. Hence my suggestion to start from scratch. Edited December 19, 2018 by Astiliano Ultrakool likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astiliano Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Under the filetype column you'll see it says "RAR" because you need to right click and extract it. The icon doesn't matter it just means what application will be used to open it. I recommend you download Winrar. So you have: Battleforge.rar Updater.zip Right click on Battleforge.rar > click "Extract to /Battleforge" Right click on Updater.zip > click "Extract to /Updater" Go inside of the extracted /Updater, copy all those files (CTRL+C) go inside of extracted /Battleforge inside of there is another Battleforge folder, go inside of it Now you will see what is in my video, paste the contents in there These instructions are in the video, ignore the file names I had as they were examples. If something is not clear from the video please let me know and I will make any necessary changes to help clarify for both you and other folks. @cpt_lowlife see point #5 on this post for help with MSVCXR120.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpt_lowlife Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'll try it as soon as i get home, thanks a lot, hope it works, because Battleforge is was the best game ever and EA canceling it left a big void space in all of us! :-\ So thanks for everything you are doing guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
