So I have recently downloaded the manual patch. However, whenever I double-click on the download, it just opens it in WinRAR. I tried extracting the file, but that did nothing. I'm completely lost and need help. It's probably something so easy, but I'm just to dense to figure it out on my own. :/

Hi,

Hmm, that is definitely weird.  The Manual Patch is an .exe file so it shouldn't be launching in Winrar.  Is the file-type appearing as .exe or .rar?

Regardless, could you please try reinstalling it from the MEGA uploading link, here?  [Click!]

Delete the old file and then install this one.  Smile

Hi there,

Or right-click on the file, choose "Properties" and then send a screenshot of what you see. That way we can see if something is wrong with the file.

Hello,


I actually have a different theory: did you accidentally download the MAC manual patch ? Please make sure that you download the one for PC. Smile

You should then get a file with the name TS3_1.67_xxxxxx.exe  Good luck !

See. Wink  Do you need help with anything else or can I close the thread ?


//EDIT

Problem seems solved, so I'll close the topic.
