»Maverick Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Upgrade Installation Instructions - Continuum 0.40Copied from SSBase Continuum 0.40 is a full release. This means that the installer application performs the full installation and does not have an upgrade package. Some changes have been made to the installer software to backup and restore player profiles and passwords. However, care must be taken to manually backup and preserve both the profile information and password information from your current Continuum installation before installing the new version. Failure to backup and restore this information can result in the loss of all profile and password information. Please be aware that if passwords are lost, the SSC Billing Policy states that information on both accounts must be identical in order for a request to be granted. It is also important to note that manually loaded shipset files will also be overwritten by the installation procedure; it should not have an effect on shipsets loaded via zone LVZ files. Step 1: Backup Your Account Profile Locate your Continuum folder (defaults to C:\Program Files\Continuum\). Locate the file called profile.dat Copy this file to your Desktop or other location outside your Continuum install folder.Step 2: Backup Your passwords Click Start. Click Run. Type "regedit" (without quotes). This will open the Windows Registry Editor. Locate your Continuum folder. It will be located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Continuum/. Expand the Continuum folder. Locate the folder called passwords. Right click on the passwords folder. Select Export. Save the file as ContinuumP!@#$%^&*words.reg on the Desktop or other location outside your Continuum install folder.Step 3: Install Continuum .40 Please note that installing Continuum .40 over your current Continuum installation will overwrite your Continuum.Exe and other core game files. It will not erase other files you have already downloaded, such as zone-specific graphics and sounds. The exception to this is manually loaded shipsets and default files, as noted above. In sum, you should be able to install Continuum .40 over your existing installation with no issues. The installer software should backup and restore your profile and password information automatically. In the event that it does not, follow these steps to restore your profile and password information: Restoring Your Account Profile: After the install process is complete, close Continuum (if it is running). Copy the profile.dat file into your Continuum folder. Select Yes to replace the file (the backup should be larger than the file you're replacing).Restoring Your passwords: Double click on the ContinuumP!@#$%^&*words.reg. Select Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to add the information to the registry. Select OK when the process is complete. Run Continuum.exe and verify that your profile and password information have been successfully restored.
