You may not be able to get on the server because of it... And this is ONLY for those of you who D/Led a beta unrealeased untested and unfinished installer... The official and the only announced installer and also the only released installer for sg3 is at the xenocorp website. So only read this post if you got that copy somewhere else before May 18th, and you know who you are!
This SG3 Installer will check to see if you already have an existing SG3 model folder. So for those of you who D/Led that early beta installer that I never posted about (because it wasnt ready :P), it installed model folders on your hard drive for the models used in the game by the shiplist.
Unfortunately, the installer will not overwrite these bad files during a reinstall of the SG3 D/L, because it is told not to do so in order to not overwrite a custum mod you may have placed there.
Obviously you see the problem. The test installer I never released (that some of you stole :P) had incorrect ship pointers in the model folders. By D/Ling the official version of the installer, it sees these folders already present from your bootlegged copy and ignores them. Well, those folders were installed from a D/Led version of an installer that didnt work and they will not be overwritten.
So you have to delete them. Every folder that SG3 installer makes you need to dump it if you had that untested and unreleased betal installer that was supposed to be a secret, cuz it wasnt ready. If you dont know what model folders those are... then you need to backup any stock model folders you have and reinstall EAW or simply revert back to a stock model directory...
Sorry for this inconvenience, but I dont know how you heard about that beta copy. Noone posted about it. I certainly didnt tell anyone, obviously because it wasnt ready.
