You get that error usually when you are trying to install the wrong patch. What are the 3 logos on your CD?
 
Always best to check, lots of internet sites out there.

So you DL'ed the patch from the SF web site?

Had you installed any Mods?

If so I would suggest you completely uninstall the game delete all the folders, and registry entries.

Then install and just use the 1.03b patch.
 
Eberk, Thanks for posting. For some reason some people find it neccessary to have the game installed to the default directory.
 
I mean that a few people have had problems when they did not install the game to the default directory, the majority of people have not had problems with that.
 
Not a problem.

Thanks for the helpful info.
BTW I did not delete it or anything, but the sever has problems sometimes.
 
Did you clear your registry?

It seems that I used the wrong patch...


I tried the UK_ENG patch but I should have tried the North American patch...


Now don't get me wrong....

But I'm really, really annoyed by this fact....

Why, Oh why do I have to use the North American patch..??? Do I live in North America ??? I don't think so.....

I had the option to chose which patch to download so I took the common English UK one... (because the UK is just accross the north sea fom my country)...

Why can't the North American version just be called the "COMMON" version.... If it is to be used not only in North America but all over the world except for the places where there is a special patch for......


I'm sorry but I'm really annoyed by this....; it'll pass but at this moment I'm very annoyed....

I'm sorry but, to whom it concerns, the world doesn't stop at the borders of North America.....



PS: forgive my rambling, I'm just really annoyed about this.... it cost me more than 3 days, several uninstalls & installs and a double download which takes (with my ancient modem) a very, very long time)

Well if you look at the sticky thread in this support forum, called latest version is X.XX.
You will see that I list the patches by publisher as well.

Strategy First is the distributer for North America, So the Patch for their version is called correctly the North American version.

I guess the question you have to ask yourself is, How did you get a North American version of the Game?
 
Stores sell imports too. ;)

Just remember for future patches that you will need the Strategy First Patch.

Your comment concerns me and 300,000,000+ other Americans, Canadians, and Mexicans. Go find some other fourm to express whatever North American frustrations you have (and I'm guessing you mean the United States) - I'm sure you can find many. I would think that this fourm is NOT the place to do that!
Thank You,

Why not do a full delete and then reinstall.

Just copy your save games to somewhere safe and do a reinstall

Since the only reason to edit the registry is to fix the path for patching, and 1.03B is not compatible with 1.03 saves, you do not need to worry about saves.
 
Well I cannot help you with this since my copy is not the retail release so it is different.
 
Sorry, I have been away for a while.

Are you sure you have downloaded the correct patch for your version?
 
I think we are haveing a language problem.

Who is the publisher of your game? Koch/UbI/SF ?
 
Glad you are back in business!
