    Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm
Just bought the book.  Great!  In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link.  The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2.  Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4.  If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

Town Remake Better: Depraved

The foundation of "Depraved Town Remake: Better" would start with a more robust and intuitive interface. User experience is paramount, and modern gamers expect a level of polish that makes navigating complex systems a breeze. Streamlining the UI, while maintaining the game's quirky charm, would make it easier for players to manage their depraved town. This includes more detailed tutorials, interactive guides, and tooltips that explain the game's mechanics in an accessible way.

In the realm of video games, few titles have managed to capture the essence of dark humor and strategic gameplay as succinctly as Depraved. This turn-based strategy game, initially released to a niche audience, has garnered a cult following for its unique blend of city-building, management, and moral ambiguity. However, as with any game, especially those that tread the fine line between comedy and controversy, there's always room for improvement and reinterpretation. A remake of Depraved, aptly titled "Depraved Town Remake: Better," presents an opportunity not only to polish the original but to expand its vision, making it more inclusive, engaging, and challenging for both new and veteran players. depraved town remake better

"Depraved Town Remake: Better" has the potential to not only rekindle interest in a cult classic but to also set a new standard for games that blend strategy, city-building, and dark humor. By refining existing mechanics, introducing new features, and enhancing the overall player experience, this remake could attract both old fans and newcomers. The goal would be to create a game that is not only a loving tribute to the original but also a bold step forward in the series' evolution. With careful development and attention to detail, "Depraved Town Remake: Better" could become a landmark title, celebrated for its unique blend of gameplay, depth, and dark humor. The foundation of "Depraved Town Remake: Better" would

The original game's focus on moral ambiguity would be preserved and expanded upon. A dynamic "Morality Meter" could track the town's overall ethical standing, influencing interactions with other towns, certain events, and even the town's prosperity. The remake could introduce a "Reputation System," where the town's actions have lasting impacts on its relationships with neighboring towns and external entities, such as corrupt governments or vigilante groups. However, as with any game, especially those that

I will give it a try.  I didn't think it was clear, either.  I never saw the plain old XI R2.  I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again.  I did see the dreaded incremental.  I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point.  Will let you know.  Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site.  Reporting back as requested.

I am having one issue.  When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2.  This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
 
Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian.  Missing Chapter 10.  Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
 
Thanks again.

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens.   If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
 
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.  depraved town remake better
