Can anybody guide on how to use update only?
Presuming you are on a Windows based system, for this is written with a Windows based system as my reference.
1. From the F95 download page select the UPDATE ONLY link for your download. I ALWAYS select the MEGA option, most of the others have given me downloads with viruses in them, or are rejected by my security software as an "unsafe link". I've never gotten a Virus from MEGA . Ever.
2. Proceed to the Mega site and download the update. the latest one should be 246.2, which not only downloads WAY faster, but some of these updates are now going over 5 GB for the full Download, and if you don't have a membership on Mega, anything over 5 GB, you have to wait around 5 hours to be able to download the rest of the full package.
3. The download should appear in the upper right corner of the screen. Once it is finished downloading, I right click on the download and select "Show in folder".
4. I go to my downloads directory, and just to be safe, I scan the new download for viruses. If Virus free, Copy the new update zip file.
5. Go to the folder where your latest download that you succesfully played from is installed. If you want you can make a backup copy of the folder with the latest previous version. For the Genesis Order it should be version 59012.
Note that there are some 7 GB and over 12,000 files in a fully decompressed installed The Genesis Order Folder, so it will take a few minutes but probably well worth it to make a backup in case you screw up the backup folder you still have the original 59012 folder from January 15th, 2023.
6. Paste the zip file that you just downloaded into the folder that you just backed up. (or into your original 59012 folder that you created within the last two weeks. ) For instance, I make a folder for all the the Gensesis Order game versions, and then individual folders for each new version,
so I can revert back to a previous version if needed. so, for example, I called I called the previous version folder 59012
7. Copy and paste the update only .zip file (The latest one is called The_Genesis_Order_v61021 and should be 252,145 KB) from the downloads directory into the 59012 (latest previous working version) folder (or 59012 - copy folder- backup copy of the latest working previous version. )
8. unzip the new update only file. (I use WinRar) and I right click and select the "Extract Here" option.
9. O.K. This is the meat of what you need to do. in the unzipped update only folder, there will be a folder called The Genesis Order v61021. click to open that folder.
10. Inside the The Genesis Order v61021 folder may be another folder called The Genesis Order v61021. Inside of that find a folder called www. click it to open the www folder.
11. Within the The Genesis Order v61021\The Genesis Order v61021\www\ folder there will be 7 folders: audio, data, fonts, icon, img, js, and movies. This is all of the content for the new update.
12. SINGLE Click on the top folder (should be named audio) to highlight it. Press the shift key and then SINGLE click on the bottom folder, (should be named movies) all seven folders should now be highlighted.
13. Right click and select copy to copy all seven folders in the www folder.
14 Navigate to your www folder that contains the FULL VERSION of the original or backup copy of the latest working version of The Genesis Order.
15. PASTE the seven folders into the www folder which again should have the same 7 folders: audio, data, fonts, icon, img, js, and movies. it will copy for a while to around the 80% point then you will get a message saying that the folder has around 251 files with the same name.
Select the option to replace the files in the folder with the new update content that you are copying in.
That should be it. Back up one directory and select the game application file and start the game like you previously would.
