Region 1 update didn't update

[majorjet]

Hello all,

I did an update on my game and it said something about "update complete" and to check the following files.  I did but my numbers don't match with what it should be, so obviously it didn't update.  I don't know what else to do.  Should I use the different region updates?  I used region 1 since I'm here in Canada and bought the game here.

SimCity 4.exe should be updated to version 1.1.638.0. File size should be 8,407,514 (Deluxe) or 8,407,542 (Rush Hour) I only have 7,524,352 kb

Graphics Rules.sgr should be updated to 20,171 bytes I only have 20 kb

SimCity 1.dat should be updated to 144,596,245 bytes I only have 141,201 kb

SimCity 2.dat should be updated to 168,588,181 bytes I only have 164,637 kb

SimCity 3.dat should be updated to 115,117,583 bytes I only have 112,420 kb

SimCity 4.dat should be updated to 125,624,858 bytes I only have 122,681 kb

Thanks everyone!

Well, the values are correct. All SimCity4 DAT-files are correct, since 1 kb = 1024 bytes, and not 1000. This explains the small shift in values. If you use a calculator to convert kilobytes into bytes, you see that the values are actually pretty close...

I know it's not updated because the night lights for the custom bats are not working after doing the update for that bat. When I tried to find out why the lights are not working, that's when I found out the region update didn't really update after all.

Any other options/suggestions?

Please and thanx

There is a second update for BAT nightlights. This update will update your game to version 1.1.640.0, which can be found here

I did already but the night lights still won't work that's why I started checking why it wasn't working.  The only thing I could find was the mismatched kb files for the region 1 updates.

Any other options?

Thanks,

There's a certain order to follow for the updates, it took me around 4/5 attempts to get everything working. The procudere is described on the German SimCityPlaza which also hosts all the necesary files. Here's the Google Translation of the (de)installation page. Hope it helpes.
