I haven't played CK for nearly a year, recently my interest rekindled, i had 1.03b previously, i applied the 1.04a patch yesterday. Normally for any games, the patch version is shown in the main menu page (lower right hand corner). Its just weird that I cant see the patch version as nothing is shown on the main menu. Have I then successfully patched 1.04a?
 
Funny mine has the full version number in the top right hand corner of the main menu.

i have another question on the 1.04a patch. When u patch this version, does it apply changes to the game that u have already started in 1.03b? Or do i need to start afresh to get the changes/fixes/balances? :confused:
 
It is always suggested to start a new game.

You should also get the latest Public beta patch as well.

Some of the changes do have an effect, many don´t. For instance changes in events or to the actual .exe code have an effect also on games started with earlier patches but tweaks to scenario setup won´t show. It might also not even be possible to continue an older game. If you have a very dear game you wish to continue it might be worth it to make another install for the new patch and copy that save to it to check what happens.
 
Beta is highly recomended.
