Patching Demo

Post by chris13x »

I've been trying to patch the demo because I don't want to play the demo without the newest rosters. I will probably only want to buy the game if I like the demo with the new rosters. I've literally tried for hours to put the 3.0.4 on the game but it doesn't work. Could I get some help, thanks.

edit: after looking at the toolbar it does look like it's patched so where is the drop down menu so I can download the new rosters?

Your version number is in name of the window in which EHM runs.
Or you can go to Options->Preferences page and under "NHL Eastside Hockey ManagerTM 2007" is your version too. Mine says "Preferences - EHM 2007 v3.0.4 (purchased)" so you should see something similar.

I'm not sure what goes into getting/installing rosters (I never use updated rosters), but once you have them and have them 'installed' properly, the game will recognize that you have more than one database, and should then present you with a box as soon as you start a new game. The box will have a drop-down where you select the database you want to use.

Could someone tell me how to upload the new rosters. When I download them I get a RAR file, if I extract this what do I do next. Does the drop down menu come up once I put the right roster file in the database?

The installation instructions are in the readme.txt file inside RAR file. Didn't you look at it? :-o
