Look in your game shortcuts. It's called "Falcon 4.0 Allied Force
Update Check" - run that and have the game cdrom in the drive at the
time.

So, I have been playing this game for about 3 weeks, and it works decent.
But i still can't find your shortcut you mentioned. I looked in the setup
area, nothing. Went to the hard drive and looked under most files, nothing.
Put the cd back in and all it asks it for me to install or modify. Where is
it? Thanks

I don't have a shortcut either..
You need to run C:\Program Files\Lead
Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\bfopsupdate.exe with the CD in the
drive (assumeing you installed to default dir).

Don't we have a link to an exe to download? If we're depending on an
update site for our latest version of F4AF into the future.... well
that ain't so good...

Strange, it looks like there are different versions of F4AF out there
because I had a shorcut to the update file installed to my start menu
and yet other people didn't. When I did the patch update it asked for
the cdrom and afterwards it placed new shortcuts in the start menu
because I had moved the old shortcuts to a different location.

I disagree. We're looking to Lead Pursuit to shoulder the burden of
updating F4 for the forseeable future, so why wouldn't we also rely on
them to supply an update site?
I think the whole point behind their auto-update feature (wchich
admittendly isn't all that "auto") is to remove the resposibility from
the end user for having to locate, download and apply the patch themselves.

Great. So what happens if Lead Pursuit goes out of business, they stop
providing the updating service and we don't have executable patch
files? It has happened with other titles, which are now shelfware
because the web-based update service no longer exists and I upgraded my
PC in the meantime.
They should allow us to take the files down and store them locally.

Yeah, its a real PITA to run the updater. What I want is for F4 Patch
to come out for it so we can all have exactly what we want from any of
hundreds of download spots! Compatability is vastly overblown..

Hmmm..
1. Lead Pursuit goes away, and there are no more new patches for the
updater to automatically install.
2. Lead Pursuit goes away. and there are no more new patches to
install on the 500 download sites..
Do you think, if they did go out, that the patches already released
would not be made available? Concidering one othe the top people in
Lead Pursuit CREATED F4 Patch I somehow doubt it..

You wouldn't have to be so uncertain as to doubt one way or the other
if the patch was simply available to download directly. Why don't they
just host it for direct download somewhere as well? To stop people
putting a second install on their work machines?

No, that's what StarForce is for.

I guess I can't disagree with you there, but if today is any indication,
LP should be around for a while.
