Shogun on the .ORG mentioned that some news on the patch will be released this week or next. While it is good to hear what progress is being made, this allows means that the patch isn't going to be finished anytime soon. I will not be surprised if this patch isn't released until 2007 but this is my personal opinion.

The big question in my mind is why the unpacker has not been released.. This does not require any QA and could be released now. At the very least this would be a nice gesture to the community and to those of us that have owned this game for over a month in its currently buggy state.
