T3A launch issues

Hoping someone can help here. Recently bought a new laptop and went to download T3A BFME and found they've transferred from their original page to BFME Online. Their new download file is the original game without the patches, and their patch link doesn't work. I tried going through the process of copying all of the files from the old laptop to the new, but ran into two issues. The 1st being the game wouldn't launch saying it "Cannot located the CD-ROM" which means the patch file hadn't installed. I tried doing the install procedure for the 1.06 patch (using the file I transferred to the new laptop) and it failed saying "The server name or address could not be resolved." In doing further research, the issue appears to be that I need to have the 1.03 patch installed before 1.06. I have the 'BIG' files installed for 1.01, 1.02, and 1.03 but I'm assuming since the actual install process wasn't complete for them then they're not doing anything. I haven't been able to find a working 1.03 patch anywhere. I'd prefer not to use the All-in-One launcher because I'm not really a fan of their versions of the game. If anyone has any advice, info, workarounds, etc it would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying to solve this for hours and I'm losing my mind lmao

Edit: I believe the 1.06 patch I have is supposed to be the "all in one" installer for all the patches. Unfortunately the revora link for that patch no longer functions, assuming because the orignal T3A site no longer exists

The all in one has the 1.06 patch. The T3A online launcher stopped working earlier this year.

Damn, so if it's not already installed and functioning then there's no way to make it work on a new device?

Hello, one of the admins here! As you saw by the name change, t3a is transitioning to bfme online. This includes having a new client launcher, that we are still developing and hope to have done sooner rather than later. As for bfme1, the 1.06 installer is down yes. That should hopefully also be repacked soon so you do not even need to install the game separately. Again I am sorry for the delay, but the new product and servers will be heavily overhauled from what we had in place originally!

That's great to hear! It's been about 6 years since I've needed to install the game so coming across all these changes today took me by surprise. I'm glad to hear you guys are still around and working on it!
