I then went and copied my vanguard shortcut, and renamed it vanguard_test.
I then right clicked, chose properties, and changed the target to:
"C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\LaunchPad\LaunchPad.exe" "/gamepatchpath:C:\Program Files\Games\Vanguard_test" /game:vanguard /noregion /realm:live /testserver /noversioncheck

all of that in the one line. I also changed the start in folder to direct it to the folder i called vanguard_test.

Then i just clicked on my link and voila! i patched and then was running aroung on the test sergver, much to frerra's dismay ;P

Please also not that i install all my games in a different place than the default folder so make sure you change the line up there to point correctly to where your game was installed.



Hope this helps....

Thanks heaps for this and I will do exactly like you did lol. It was nice also meeting you in game and sorry if I sounded aloof but was being bombarded by tells from everyone and their mom too.

See, you have to learn to say no to Moms! Once they get hold of you, they never let go!!

Hope this solution works - if so, we can add it to the up and coming FAQ.

Oh no worries, being a leader of a guild and all, I kinda just figured you were busy. I've been having an odd occurance of the patcher coming on in the background every 5 min for no apparent reason though....dont know if its the way i set up to play on the test server or the fact that i badly crashed earlier today. Let me know if you experience anything similar.

Watch copying whole folders. Sigil has some file purging code in for the patches so you can end up corrupting your install. That is the reason I removed copying the Asset folder from the tutorial instructions.
