[PSYCHO V]

Just got the UK version. Do I need to install the 1.07 patch ?

Cheers

My UK copy says version 1.07 when it loads up so i think it is already fully patched

The UK version is 1.07 while the update is to 1.07c.

The only problem with installing patch 1.07c over the UK version is that it begins to force you to have the CD in the drive.... which shouldn't be a problem for anyone with a legally purchased copy, except for the fact that the copy protection system on EU is so weird that my DVD-ROM drive is having a really hard time just reading the CD.
The drive spins and hacks and spins and just can't seem to consistently read the CD enough to even see what files are on it - I guess I was lucky it even managed to install the game. Eventually it does manage to verify that it is the EU CD so that the game starts, but it's a terribly unnecessary hassle - so I wish you Paradox guys could remove that CD check on startup with the next patch....

Got my American copy here, it loads up 1.07c right off the disk...

Trying my best to get some friends as addicted as I seem to be...

That's odd. I have UK version patched to 1.07c and it runs perfectly well without the CD inserted.

I think it depends on whether you have a DVD drive or a normal CD drive. I have had a host of problems with copy protection ever since I upgraded my machine two months ago because of the DVD.

I have the same problem here with a UK version, after applying patch 1.07c both my DVD and normal CD-rom are not accepted and no CD is found (while I do own a origional copy). I have to stick with 1.07b I guess.

Could this have to do with my drive mapping? My DVD is mapped to F: and CD-rom is mapped to drive G:

Probably, that was a major problem on the german and swedish version in, it had big problems finding the CD if the CD-burner(?), DVD or in my case imaginary CD was before the real CD alfabetically.

Isn't it strange that after installing the game without patch everything just works fine?

I bought a copy last Saterday and the version is luckily resent: 1.07b. I hope 1.08 will work though, some nice improvements in A.I. as it seems.
