Sam & Max 201 - Fix for (most) launcher problems
 

Hi all,

This patch should fix most of the launcher problems that some of you have been experiencing with Sam & Max 201: Ice Station Santa. We'll be incorporating this fix into the main download soon, but for now enjoy this patch!

Changes in this patch:

- Improved error detection for fetching community content to stop it from hanging the rest of the wrapper
- Super-minimalist unlock/launch interface for those with scripting completely disabled
- Increased timeout for 'offline mode' detection by 500ms to (hopefully) cut down on false negatives.

Note: If you're not having trouble with the launcher, this patch won't change anything for you. You can install it if you'd like, but don't expect it to magically cure any non-launcher problems you're having.

*downloads even though I have no problems at all*

*downloads because of newly developed problems just this instant*

It worked! Its on offline mode...? But, it worked!

I guess it didn't get incorporated into the main download. I just downloaded S&M EP 201 and the launcher was buggered until I added this patch. Download on 11/19/2008

So. I have a question that may sound very silly.

How do I use this patch? How do I activate it? I put it on an SD card, but... then what? I can't seem to find it on my Wii.

The patch was for PC users that had problems with the downloadable version's game launcher.
No such problem on the Wii.

Oh, I see! I'd assumed this was the so-called "Sam and Max Fix" that I'd read about. I can't load episode one on my Wii, you see.

I wasn't aware of a launching problem with the Wii version, but as it's an Atari game, you might have more luck contacting Atari's customer service.
