Amateur hour: 1.09 patch won't install?

unmerged(3932) · 2001-05-19T00:35:13+00:00

Well, I've owned EU for a total of 4 hours now, and I have yet to play it. I can't believe the horrible out-of-box experience I am having. Can't get the 1.09 patch to install. 1. Buy game. Install game. No problems. 2. Go to the website to get the latest patch. See version 1.09 NA on the main page, think it might be "North America" 3. Go to the download page and confirm it is actually for North America. (Also learn what BEN stands for). 4. Download it. Won't install. Complains that EU is not installed on my machine. 5. Try starting the game then stopping it. Starts OK, but the patch still won't install. Same thing: EU is not installed on your machine. 6. Check the support boards and FAQ. No help. 7. Pull out my CD to make sure I bought the NA version. CD says "English version." Maybe this means I accidentally got the UK release? 8. Download the UK version of 1.09 patch. Installs right away, no problem. 9. Start EU. Now it complains CD in drive! My CD is installed and spins up. I didn't have this problem in step 5. 10. Uninstall the game, reinstall the game. Still can't run the patchfile. Same problem. I guess I'll try playing the unpatched game for a while, which pretty much bites because I've read that my games won't be compatible once I get the patch applied. I'm trying to run EU over Windows Millenium, on an Athlon TBird w/256MB RAM. Any help appreciated. dp

We have no versions released in Belarus. And all our boxes are in latin letters.
It looks as if you have bought a pirated version. This is rather common in eastern europe where pirates print their own boxes.
