The patch is here

The Sega Europe link for the english version is very slow - 14k/s. You might want to try another site unless it speeds up a bit.

WELL that was fun.

Install Patch. > Load. > Custom Battle. > Crash to Desktop.

New Game. > Crash to Desktop.

[Barry Fitzgerald]

Oh dear....ditto here...lots of crashes...damn....

Not a happy bunny...what on earth is going on over at CA?

[maestro]

OOooooohhh. Must remote desktop to my home PC and get it installed for when I get home


-edit- Excellent Download speed from C&VG - over 1Mb/s !!!

for those who have run the unpacker and are experiencing crashes, i have a suggestion:

READ THE UNPACKER README:

- NOTE: Due to a timestamp check, the following unpacked files will
cause the game to crash and must be deleted before the game is
launched:

data\descr_geography_new.txt
data\descr_geography_new.db

There are readmes for a reason.

[madchoochter]

Oh joy. Download just stopped at 42.5%! Getting timeouts from med2.sega-europe.com now. Think I'll wait until CA wake up.

patchy goodness before a weekend without a computer. *silent sob*
