Hi

just downloaded TFTC_1.0.zip, extracted it, ran the exe, starts the install copying files then get this error message below. Installing this on the Steam version.
Did a search on here for tiefighter.ini comes up with various threads but none I can see about this error ?

Also when installing this it says Update 4 does this mean I dont need to install the update patch 4 also ?

Thanks.

You need to download and install in this order:
XWAU 2020 Mega Patch
XWAU Update 4
TFTC

Plus you must run the game from the new Alliance.exe launcher shortcut. NOT from the Steam shortcut.

Okay will try that I thought update 4 superceeded the mega patch and that with TFTC being the mod that install first.

Thanks
