Advice on Installing BV after FT

[Assmitten]

Anyone done this with an image of the game? I am just now dl'ing BV, and have all other EPs. Will the game screens look like BV now, or still FT as that is the newest version?

Mostly I am lazy and do not want to reinstall my recent stuffs packs and FT. Thanks!

I install in order out of habit, but I don't think the install order matters anymore, Assmitten.  TS1 used to be funny about it but with TS2 the latest EP takes over.

Yup, it's the latest EP that matters. I've done this exact same thing (installing BV after FT, both of them Arrr'd) and had no problems at all. The NoCD crack that (I assume) you used for FT should work just as fine after you've installed BV.

PS: I reckon my (whole) 4 posts don't give me a lot of credibility, but I really would have noticed if my game had exploded.

Thanks, youse. Powercat, that is the specific infos I was looking for.

So, change your username to powercat and have done with it. 

Anyhow, it's not how many posts you have, but how you use them.

It's okay, though, because Powercute still loves me.

Well, as long as there are kittens in your username. I do have standards, you know.

*feels bad about spamming teh seriuos forums*: So have you installed it yet? I need to know this so I can make my escape from the thread should something bad happen.

[Assmitten]

Okay, well, it gets dumber. Long story long, Pescado gave me the FT patch, and then my game didn't work, so I am back to the drawing board with FT. HA HA HA weep. So I think I will install BV "first."

*Assmitten absolves powercut of any BFBVFSes

Eh, sorry if I'm saying something which is already obvious, but do you have the appropriate crack? There is one for plain old FT and a different one for the patched FT. They can both be found on gamecopyworld.com (the patched one is version 1.1). I haven't personally tried patching the game and using this, so you should take it with a pinch of salt, coming from me.
But it seems that installing BV is a separate issue altogether and whether the game works or not depends solely on the latest thing that you should have installed going by the EA timeline.
*tiptoes out of thread just in case*

I've done the BV after FT thing. And nothing's exploded yet.

BV I Arr'd. FT is patched, but securom is beat back with the new patched version of nocd crack. Still get the FT slash screen when I load the game, annoying music and all.
