Hello Tony Furze,

As I recall, the SEGA released Gold Edition did need patching as some of the early ones were released at VI v2.0 in a blunder. I think at the time there was a lot of outrage both at the .org and over at .com - and CA finally had to come up with the patch (actually just the v2.01 binary (.exe) in a zip!). A stupid error really because VI was released patched to v2.01 and so was the earlier Activision released "Battle Collection".
