I installed the game and then the Patch.
Game loads half-way then crashes to XP desktop. Without the patch it seems to work ok with only a few random crashes. It does this on both my XP boxes. Athlon XP, newest drivers Geforce 4 MX, bla bla bla.
Also the install was rough: many errors so I had to switch CD drives.
I have heard many suggestions on this forum about reinstalling and rebooting many times as well as people actually partioning their hard-drive to run in another OS.
Ridiculous!
Crappy over-zealous work on the part of the game developers is what it is. There should not be so many problems.
I like the game alot and I guess will continue to play without the patch or until tech support sends me a reply. I think it is hopeless though until the next patch.
Thanks
