Common Installation Issues (Windows) #10

Issue Summary:

The patch works well, but I encountered a few issues during installation that could be addressed for smoother setup. I am on Windows 10 22H2 (Home).

Issues and Suggestions:

  1. Patch Download & Process:

    • I have the game on Steam and had to download the patch from this URL.
    • The setup mentions this patch, but only after the first patch attempt. It would be helpful to provide this info upfront, along with a check to confirm the patch is installed before attempting to apply it.

  2. Using PowerShell:

    • Casual users may not know how to use PowerShell. Here’s what I had to do:
      • Navigate to the script’s directory using cd.
      • Use .\ before the script name to run it.
    • I also had to change my PowerShell execution policy with: 
      Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force;

      Note: This could be a security vulnerability, but otherwise you can't run unsigned powershell scripts

    • Non-admin users unfamiliar with PowerShell may run into this frequently.

  3. ForEach Issue (Issue #9):

    • I initially ran into the issue discussed here. Moving the Install-FancyScreenPatchForRecettear.ps1 file directly into the game's patched directory resolved it.
    • The script might still have this issue, but it seems to be fixed in the referenced link. However, I haven’t tested this.

Final Thoughts:

I hope these suggestions help make the installation process clearer and easier for others.

I love this game, and would love to see a modding community develop! Thanks for the patch! You're doing great work.
