...before I run the executable file, can anyone tell me whether I will get the promised option to upgrade over my existing install or will it blitz it and start installing everything from scratch....?

Taken from the FAQ page HARRY

2) How do I install WOFF UE?
Important: WOFF UE is standalone in that you do not need to install a previous WOFF first. So you can
install WOFF UE clean , or upgrade WOFF 1, or WOFF 2, or WOFF 3.
Make sure you are logged in as an
Admin user
then;
NOTE
read section 7) regarding some free anti-virus programs that can interfere with WOFF before
continuing, then come back here to continue.


There,s a link to it here pal http://www.overflandersfields.com/help.html


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Remove your mods prior!

Anyway, out of curiosity, since you have the whole kit & caboodle why did you install over existing WOFF 3 and not do a clean install? I had figured that "clean" was the route I was going to go unless I am missing something...

EDIT: Thanks for the FAQ link Adger. That's looking..err...like a professional and top drawer FAQ. Don't remember them looking so spiffy in the past.

Also copy your Order Nr. as it is requested when you load it up the first time.

Really? Thanks for the info.
How come? It's not some copy protection thing is it?

Duke, in my case it was laziness. I clenched my sphincter and let her rip. Thankfully it worked pretty well and for me the installation took longer than the download itself. Finding a nice bump in framerate, but I could be blinded by the shininess of the new toy. Only 2 missions so far. Still testing.

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

I think the number is for your protection, so you have proof of your purchase. After loading it I made a text document of it and put in the file with the unzipped download.

Well, OBD is getting a clever in their old age.

Well I forgot to remove the mods prior. Stupid of me. However, no issues as yet!

As for why not do a whole clean install... well I' guessing it was around 2 hours quicker just to upgrade my existing install than it would have been to start from scratch smile

I hear you sir.
In the final moment I ended up going the "upgrade" route also.

And now that I have this package it's going to feel awful strange deleting all my previous, jealousy guarded and protected over the years, OBD downloads both on my computer and saved to disc.
