Help please!
Posted: 09 Jul 2010, 03:28Hi, I just burned a disc with the MtG 2009/2010 ISO, and it runs, but I'm having trouble getting it 100%. Slight errors in Duel, incorrect card art even after updating, and trouble updating or running some of the extra stuff are my main issues. Here's the step-by-step I took.
1) Installed from disc on Windows 7.
2) Downloaded Manalink 2.0 patch parts 1 and 2 from the manalink wiki.
2a) Extracted both parts of the patch with 7-zip into the MagicTG directory.
2b) Restarted computer as per manalink wiki instructions.
3) Installed updated card art, noncard art, cardartlimited, code update, my2000, and DeckEditor 2.0 files from manalink wiki and extracted all of them into my MagicTG folder.
**Upon rereading the page for the CD version, I noticed it said the only update needed was the new card art file provided on that page (oops). Does that mean the only update it needs period (i.e. no manalink, ACT compatibility file, etc.), or the only card art update it needs?**
My problems are as follows:
1) Using some cards in the Duel causes a crash (though not every time I use it, and after a reinstall this became even less frequent).
2) Some card art is wrong, even after updates. (Possibly because I used the manalink files instead of the file on the CD page?)
3) The buttons don't line up with their pictures in the main menu. Not that big a deal, but it's a bit annoying.
The most important issues:
4) There is no DeckEditor.exe application. It wasn't present beforehand, nor was it present after extracting the "deck editor one time only" download. I'm not sure how I can trade out cards from the 2000 card limit (I REALLY want to make a Dragonstorm deck).
5) MagicLimited.exe and MagicCustom.exe don't run. At first they gave errors saying I was missing certain .dlls. I hunted those down in other folders and moved them, and the error changed to a simple and unhelpful numberstring error. (Let me know if you need the exact error code.)
