indianjack Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I keep seeing that you can now approve an update before it runs, but I keep getting updates as soon as I click to load 3DX. So question is this: 1) Is there a way to delay an update or not?2) If so how do I accomplish that? And please if there is give me step by step instructions. presciouss, Vaughan_Rarius and Doc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 it used to update and kick everyone out, this way people can finish what they are doing without being thrown out, it's a good thing. Sure, yeah. But why not also warn you on logging in too before it patches? Like a "Hey, would you like to patch now? But make sure first any third party DLL's are not being used." uncle and Leeloo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissD Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just rename the patcher.exe file when you use change the game files anyhow ? Then you won't get the update until you've changed things back and Gizmo doesn't have to answer questions about people using third party files on his game, win-win ?

Shanti Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Although they get many things wrong, it is great that they now offer the possibility to delay an update while in game.That being said, it's not their duty to warn anyone of an update at login, since we are using third parties (not provided by the game) at our own risk.

SmartOlivia Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 ...That being said, it's not their duty to warn anyone of an update at login, since we are using third parties (not provided by the game) at our own risk. I totally agree with you, but it is somewhat concerning, that the patcher overrides the UAC of windows 10 and is able to modify your windows installation without any given permission to do so. This is a major security issue. Vaughan_Rarius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, I have this since the way I started playing 3DX. Everytime there is an update, it gives me the admin warning in windows and says if I want to run this program and I simply click No and change the dll back to original. Then start 3DX again, click yes and it updates without any problems Vaughan_Rarius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeloo Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Until the update 388, mine was doing that too. The game started and my computer was asking me if i wanted to allow it to modify W10. But since update 388, when there is an update, the patcher auto load the patch and it auto launch it without asking anymore if i allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just checked and i've found why (maybe) Before i was just doing "right clic>then clic on the run as administrator option" (and then, the patcher was starting and asked me if i wanted to allow it) (i think doing this way is not the good way) When i checked, i did: right clic>properties>compatibility. There i ticked an option "run as administrator" then clicked "apply". I'll see with next patch if it work this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the correct way to do it. i have it checked at always run as administrator for all users and it asked for permission every single time, even during the new patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
