Hello,

On my old PC, I had EM3 working with patch 1.1 UK plus loads of mods and everything was fine. The computer went wonk so I got a new one and re-installed EM3. Now only patch 1.3UK exists and I have tried to install it 3 times without any luck, mainly because the Readme is useless.

It says:
INSTALLATION

Although it never says this, I presume it needs to be unzipped first...?

- Make a backup of your /Emergency 3 Directory How does one achieve this?
- Copy following directorys and files (situated in the patch 3 directory) to your /Emergency 3 Directory:

* Data (Directory)
* Mods (Directory)
* em3.cfg (File)
* Em3.exe (File)
* ModInstaller.exe (File)
* vBase71.dll (File)
* vision71.dll (File)

Is this done by Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or is something different needed? In addition, this will overwrite files, as there already is a Data and Mods folder in my EM3 directory. Do I want it to overwrite? When is says "A Folder named Data exists, do you wish to overwrite?" Do I click Yes? Yes to All? No?
- Double click on the file you just copied, ModInstaller.exe. IF it opens, it works.
If it doesn't open, then what?
- Close the mod installer
- Run your game
- If your game works, delete the backup and the patch is successfully installed
If it doesn't work, then what?
- Make a shortcut of ModInstaller.exe to run the mod installer
How would I go about achieving this?

I know EM3 is outdated but I really want to play on it again. Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

The OC-D
