I couldn't find the patch on the WWW site you mentioned below.
By the way, I just bought the game yesterday and I've to say
Take2 has done an excellent job.

Just a quick question. Is this a normal patch or one like the patches that
Sierra puts out? - Patch Installed - and by the way - everything you've done
to this point is a waste of time because all of your previously saved games
aren't any good. So start over.

Also - I'm on CD 3 and haven't encountered any problems as of yet. Should I
wait until there is a problem or install it as a precaution?

Thanks in advance.

Take care.

There are 2 formats of the patch. The .exe file can just be downloaded and
executed. It will start an installer similar to the one used for the game and
install the patch to the game automatically. The .zip format must ne
unzipped, then executed. All your saved games will still be valid, so I would
recommend getting the patch even if you haven't encountered any problems.

Thanks for the reply. Won't get to play again until Saturday but thank you
and Take2 for posting a patch so quickly.

Is this patch compatible with the UK (European) version?

There is no patch mentioned on the Take2 European web site.

On a more general point: why are there two versions? (if indeed there
are)

I used the patch with the game I bought here in Sweden (marked "For
sale in Scandiinavia only") and it seems to work just fine.

As far as I know, the new .exe will work with the U.K. version, as the
original .exe was the same. The .zip patch and .exe patch are the same. The
zip format is just slightly smaller and you need to unzip it before you get
the .exe file to execute in order to install the patch.
