snake_444: I have the downloaded game version from Atari.com I don't have the cd will the patch still work ?
timppu: I think that changes everything. At least I thought you were referring to the retail (CD) version of the game, not a digital download version. I didn't even know it is available as one, or that there is such a store as atari.com.
https://atari.com/buy-games/action/boiling-point-road-hell I assume the retail version patches most probably will not work with that version, similarly like you should not try to install such retail patches for GOG games either, but only patches you receive from GOG.com. Are you sure it even needs any update? It could be updated already. Do you have some problems with the game and that is why you are trying to update it?
If in doubt, I think you should contact Atari.com support and ask from them if the game needs any separate update, or is it already up to date.
hey ive messaged Atari 4 days ago
that the first thing I did.
well yes you are right but that Is not the case with me
leave aside the various bugs and random crashes which I can tolerate, my problem is that I am at a stage in the game now where I cant go any further (due to the problem)
3 mission options that are very important which I cant complete due to the game crashing
the first a boat mission for don carlos.
(1) once completing the mission and pressing e or enter to exit the boat the game goes to loading screen and stops working (therefore I cant talk to the guy in order to complete the mission
(ive tried restarting re installing the game and many other things. I even tried going to the other side of the map and getting out of the boat )
(
2) the other mission option ''learn to fly a plane for don pedro''
once completing the mission and landing the plane I cant exit the plane when I press e or enter the game crashses
(same exact thing as the boat mission)
(so I cant talk to augusto to complete the mission)
(3) the mission option for the gurellas mission
(ambush the convoy transporting the traitor at night and kill the traitor)
I get to the location kill everyone and the mission is still not complete there is no traitor visible there just military people
i tried blowing up the whole place shooting everyone I see and I must have don't the mission 6 times already.
I believe a game glitch maybe is not letting the traitor spawn
the mission objective is to kill the traitor
I cant complete it no matter how hard I try or look for him the x on the map shows me where he is supposed to be but I cant get to him because he is not there.
thanks for your reply :)
I love this game I used to play it from cd back when it just came out
I hope you understand my frustration

if you think its my best option to contact Atari that's what I will wait for then
i just don't want them to ignore me or not come up with a solution for me
