I had some trouble with both versions of the patch under Win7. File permissions messed up the batch script, as well as made rasmaker.exe crash. I did the following to resolve it:
- Set rasmaker.exe to run as administrator
- Set maxbatch.bat to run as administrator
- Edit maxbatch.bat to make it cd to the game directory first, since running it as administrator made it start in C:\Windows\System
These steps made it work. Step 3 could be replaced by making a shortcut that gives the game directory as an argument, if one wanted a less hacky solution.
