Just to be sure everyone knows what we are doing here:

1) It doesn't matter which download service you use, all the patch installer files have the same problem.

2) The problem is that when you run the installer, it creates a folder THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST. That folder is named data/models_buildings, and it contains a single folder called textures.

3) There is another folder right next to it called data/models_building. That is where we SHOULD have placed the textures folder.

4) To fix the bug, drag the textures folder from data/models_buildings to data/models_building.

Our sincerest apologies, this is an issue that our whole team is at fault for not catching, and we are hard at work in creating a hotfix to solve this.

We will be adding some last-minute fixes to unit recruitment as well, so this hotfix will make saved games incompatible. We estimate that it will be ready in three hours, so don't get too attached to your saved games until then.

Until then 0.73 is being taken down, and 0.73a will be up in its place as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Great news. This will work being installed over the original 0.73 patch though right? No need to uninstall that or anything?

The hotfix, yes. 0.73a you should not install if you have 0.73.

Hm... but isn't the hotfix for 0.73? Eh, I'll see the instructions when it's posted. I suppose I'll have to uninstall 0.73 then install 0.73a?

No, there will be two downloads:

The installer-wrapped version of EB, called 0.7.3a. This will replace 0.7.3. There will also be a 0.7.3 hotfix, for those who downloaded it, to turn it into 0.7.3a. This will be about 1.5MB. It will not have an installer.

If you want the benefits of the installer, which are many, as you know, you'll have to redownload the file. If you just want to fix your game and not worry about the uninstall and such, you can use the hotfix manually.
