    I got my Barbarian Invasions game and installed it with no problems. There are no text glitches or other oddities when I play the game.
    I'm not sure, however, which version of the game I bought. It's published by Sega-Europe, uses the British flag to indicate the language, says "Not for sale in the United Kingdom" on the package, and the manual has both English and Swedish (Finnish?). Anyway, the game works and I'm having fun. Yay!

    After messing up my game several times with multiple patches mixed with various incompatible mods, the safest course is to make a copy of your entire games folder, & install the patch you want to use into one of them, that way if it all goes belly up you don't have to reinstall everything, you can just rename your original folder & retain all your save games. Of course you need some HD space but it saves alot of trouble. Currently have 5 different versions of RTW installed which I play independently of one another.

    Thank you for your answer but I don't use mods. As for keeping several versions of the game on my hard drive . . . . well, that's a lot of work I don't want. :) I will simply install the 1.6 version of the patch and if it doesn't work then I'll simply reinstall the whole thing.

    Cheers
