Application/module version: 1.1.638.0 Help?

[toxic1456 1]

shouldn't it be showing 1,1,640?

I downloaded the official maxis patch on rush hour what else do i need?

1,1,638,0 is the updated version of rush hour/deluxe.

1,1,640,0 is the subsequent updated version with support for night lights on BAT lots. It is on the BAT download page. You need it, but not the BAT.

1,1,641,0 is the digital download version you can get from various authorized sellers. It is the same as 1,1,640,0 except that no disk is required in the CD drive.

1. You could find the EP1-Update1 and BAT update for version 1,1,640,0 here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?page=14

you must choose which one of the EP1-Update1 files ( Look at the picture below).

Well, there are some choices, choose one that match with your version !

The location of the BAT Update is here :

2. For the digital download version 1,1,641,0, you could get them from any authorized sellers, which mean that you must buy them. However, if you feel that use CD or not is not a problem at all, you could save some of your money and surely, less expense.

Sorry that i don't know a lot about the updated 1,1,638,0 version.

1,1,638,1 is the destination build number after application of any of the EP1 updates (you must choose the proper one). It is essentially a fixed version of the program which should have been released instead of the rush-to-market version that is in the box. If contains fixes for bugs that were found after the program went to press.

1,1,640,1 is the version that, post the release of the Building Architect Tool, allows the special textures that can be used by builders to be lighted in the night time scenario. It requires the 1,1,638,1 version to be present.

1,1,641,1 is all of the above plus diskless operation. I looked at it, and it appears to be unencrypted. Perhaps an admission by EA that this level of security is not required any longer (or they just don't really care). It disassembles rather nicely, but is far to much code to bother with without the symbol table.

I'm having problems with the .640 build; do I really need it?

As described above by the previous posters, 1.1.640.0 is only required for nightlights on custom buildings (BATs) to work in game. If you don't intend to use custom BATs, then the update isn't required.

 

What is the extent of the problem? Does the patch successfully complete, or are there any errors?

Note: The EP1 update (1.1.638.0) must be installed before the 1.1.640.0 nightlights update.

 

To check your game's version, hover your mouse over your SimCity 4.exe file (located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps").

 

If it still doesn't work, find your patch log file (sc4_patchlog.txt), and post the contents. This should be located in your SimCity 4 Documents folder, or your Desktop.

Can I just ask a question for a moment?  Why does everyone keep insisting you need version 1.1.640...???  I have stayed at version 1.1.638 and the game works perfectly fine for me.  I understand you need 1.1.640 if you download custom buildings and want to see their nightlighting, but you don't need it just to install BATs in your city.  If you don't play in night mode...which I'm sure is the case for many of us, including myself... then all custom content works just the same with version 1.1.638.

 

Not arguing.  Just sayin'.

 

 

EDIT:  Never mind.  Apparently I need to start reading all comments first before posting.  Sorry for the rant.

Sorry for bumping this, but I've got a question - I downloaded the updates, started to update in the needed order, but when updating with  The EP1 update (1.1.638.0), a message pops up saying "No Old file found, however a file with the same name has been found but no update done since the contents do not match" (or something in that sense). After clicking OK, the update runs to the end and says that the update has been done successfully. Afterwards, I launched the second, night-lights, update, it runs fine and says that the update has been successfully done.

However, when I run the NAM installer, it still says that the game isn't updated to 1.1.640.0, i.e. nightlights. 

 

Has anyone got an idea what to do?

The original message, "No old file found...", could be the result of using unauthorized game files (such as a No-CD patch). NAM will not install if using such files. Where did you get the game and what version do you have - check the properties of the game's .exe file located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4\Apps directory (depending on your installation) and report the version number. Check the above information for the what the version number indicates.

Checking the game .exe file and it says 1.1.638.0.

The game is legit, bought in a store in Croatia, running with the CD in.

Really? And the NAM installer still thinks you haven't updated the game? That's weird; you shouldn't need the v640 (BAT nightlighting) patch for the NAM. But you probably should install it anyway if you want custom BATs to have nightlights.
