Howdy somehow I never tried this game, I am still playing allot of the classic Sims on my P3 1.4 with Voodoo 5500, would my system play BOB fine? What was the latest official patch, and I take it the BDG patch .99 was the last one, I have spent hours trying to find a link to this patch anyone know where I can download it? I read there was a Artwork patch too? Any info that could help me out appreciated. Thanks!

Lonny

I know I am stuck back in time, but please someone rescue me. I have searched my ass off for the BDG patch 95, 96 97 99. nothing out there at all. Mind blowing! Thanks again for any help my fellow simmers!

Hi,

I think the original BoB should probably run well on your machine. The last BDG patch was indeed 0.99 and iirc it contained the artwork package as well.

It is a shame these patches aren't kept up somewhere, but hopefully this will help you: http://rapidshare.com/files/296754395/bob_v099.exe.html (I think there's a 10 times download limit on it)

Alas, it looks like http://bob2resources.ww2airfronts.org/ has gone offline. This was for several years the last resource providing a web presence for the BoB1 BDG patches, .98 and .99. It was functioning a couple of months ago, but it seems it is gone, now. The patches were about 50 and 60MB respectively, and typically titled "bob_v099.exe" for example, if that helps in a search. I guess someone could put them up on on of those file sharing sites if nothing else avails...

EDIT: Ah, see what magic can occur while I'm running a websearch concurrent with my post...

Thank you, thank you. Looks like my computer might not run the latest BDG patch according to your post, seem to me there was a feature I read that I could turn off, that would revert back to a feature in BDG .96? Was there a earlier BDG patch that would be better for Voodoo 5500? I take it there was only 1 official patch for Rowan BOB, Called BobPatch1? Thanks again!


The last BDG patch was indeed 0.99 and "iirc" it contained the artwork package as well.

What is iirc you refered too above?


Lonny

iirc: if I recall correctly

I've only saved backups of 0.98 and 0.99, but let me know if you need me to upload 0.98 as well. Maybe another member has saved the other patches.

I have 0.973, 0.98 and 0.99.

Thanks I am waiting for the game to come in the mail. If 99 does not work, I will have to go back to a earlier version of BDG possible, I will see what happens. Thanks for the replys!

Lonny

It indeed is a shame there is no more official place for the patches.

Hello Lonny007,

I have BoB patches v090 and patches v095 through to v099 if you want any of them. Let me know.
