I bought two copies of EU because Me and my husband each have a computer at home. His copy is NA Bought at The Mall and mine???? I dunno, (I bought it on EBAY from someone in RUSSIA but it seems to be a good original game, not a copy) Now, his game takes NA upgrades and I don't know what to use. If I try NA I get the message that EU is not installed. IF I try UK, it seems to install but when I try to run it, I get "EU CD not found", The Benelux upgrade is the same prob as the UK. How do I know which version I have? also, why does my version have a link to Paradox and his has only a link to Strategy first? (I noticed because Paradox has 1.10 while Strat.1st is still only offering 1.09)

Copies have been bought from Ebay! - and Russia is rife for pirating.
What publisher is on the box? Koch, Blackstar, Strategy First etc.
He can download the 1.10 patch from the Paradox website. However before doing so make sure he has the 1.09 patch backed up - not everyone likes the newest patch.
Reply to the publisher question and I will try to help. I can think of one possible solution .........
Help?
Oh god, I should have known right?!? I don't have the box only the game case. The inside leaf is all in Russian, the back is english and it says English Version on the top of the front. I have the Logo for Paradox on the front corner and on the top it says STRATEGY. (also on the back corner in a small white box is some gobbledygook in Russian that ends in 2000->, Does that help you? Or me? (I hope)
Hey, also, If we stay at version 1.07 we can connect but only in internet mode not, LAN... His version is actually listed as 1.07c, mine is just 1.07. could that have anything to do with it?
Thanx again.

Re: Help?
It sounds like a copied UK version. The patches do not work on the copies as the patch checks the CD for authenticity!
Check your Personal Message box - I will try a fix for it as you bought it in good faith.....
p.s. Make sure he downloads that NA 1.09 patch and saves it somewhere - you may need it.

I think we now all know not to buy software on eBay if it comes from Russia. This si good info for me as I have just got an eBay account - I think I'll pass on any software on eBay just in case.
