Auto-update can't find it and manual download is getting a 404. Anybody else getting this problem? I can't update the game

As a workaround you could use the Steam version?

I got someone else to check it for me and they're also getting a 404...

I don't have access to the Steam version of Oceania, I guess I could copy the files over from one version to the other

Ok I'm being dense, I've gotten the Steam key now. Cheers Vic, I'll use that for now.

I got three people (including Das) to check the ftp link and all got a 404, might be worth checking out.

Hello,

If you register your serial(s) to the mypage area you can redeem a Steam key for both the base game and DLC if you want.


Could you try the update here if possible? here.


The manual can be downloaded here, but also found within the game files after you update + accessible from the launcher menu here.

Hi Sam,

I've gotten the Steam Key sorted now, but the ftp link is still showing a 404 Not Found, and I got Das and someone else to check and they got the same result.

Same issue as BATTLEMODE.
Will check out the private download shortly.
Currently downloading the 1.20 GOG version, which begs the question, why not upgrade the Matrix install to 1.2, as well...instead of the old 1.05?

I am getting the 404 error for the update from Matrix and the DLC will not install without it.

Vic's mirror works. Got the patch, patched game, installed DLC, installed "h" beta patch.
Ready to go.

Question: What happens to games in progress? Do they blow up, see new features or see nothing?

I had this problem but it did work with the update link you gave.. And then I had no problem to install oceanic. I had the same problem game auto update could not read TFP file or something.

Just for the record, I am always going to avoid Steam.

The link is missing an 'L' in 'Muti', I posted a solution before seeing this thread. Oops.
