To re-install the game; zip or otherwise backup your saved games folder to another location first, just in case. Then un-install, re-boot, shut down all non essential programs (especially anti-virus), re-install the game, re-boot, shut down all non essential programs, install the patch, re-boot, shut down all non essential programs, start the game. This procedure is a bit over-cautious, but the best way to avoid install problems.

The 1.34 patch is available for download, but the web page will not be changed to reflect the updated patch until monday. The english version on the CD is 1.29; the german version requires a patch (v1.1) to get to 1.29 before installing the latest patch (v2.0). After that, saves from v1.32 and before should be fine.
