I buy all the DVDs so I don't/won't do DD of this game. I love my DVDs! That said, I don't understand why you shouldn't be able to install the above in any order regardless of how you have it, except ST will still be the last EP. I think regardless it takes you to 1.31, even if you installed ST with the disk I do believe 1.31 is on the disk.
Regarding your post about the "dfc - gorilla by Pocket Soft Inc. Copyright 2003-2009 Pocket Soft, Inc." error. I haven't seen that since 2009. A good friend had that and it was due with the nude patch, which had changed the shader file. Go to the below and see if you have the shader file in the game/bin folder for the base game. If not, do the below. I would uninstall everything, completely clean the registry, do a disk clean up and defrag, then reinstall the base game only. Don't update via the launcher using the automatic updates. Just check the version tags on the launcher vs. the skuversion.txt in the program files. After you get Delux installed, make sure you do the below and that the shader file is in the program files for the base game. Then continue installing wether DVD or DD in release order. That should get you back to 1.31 if you install Showtime last.
The file you're looking for is on your disk (the Deluxe disk). Insert your CD, and go to Computer. Navigate to the Game/Bin folder on your disk, and find Shaders_Win32. Make a copy of that file and put it in the same place in Program Files.
As is I just installed Showtime. Crashed every time I loaded the game no matter what I did. I tried turning off notifications, and shop, and continuing without logging in, as well as the opposite. I did drag the folders to desktop and did it again, no luck, still crashed. So I'll try your suggestion next.
Although in order to install the DD, it forces me to update via the launcher first. Do I need to check the shaders with each install? I know the physical copies are playable as long as I don't install any updates besides the ones on the discs.
I did what you suggested before uninstalling just to see what would happen, and it wouldn't let the game load afterwards. : /
