Thanks a million for that witch, it works fine  *sheepie button* What's worrying me is that my winrar keeps throwing corrupted file errors at me. I've redownloaded it and reinstalled it, but it even gives corrupt files on the AL director's cut zip. And I *know* that one should work, cause otherwise there'd be a lot of moaning going on. Solutions? H4xorz? Wisdom? |

Try 7Zip. Works well for me. http://www.7-zip.org/Other suggestions: Scan your hard drive for errors. Defragment your hard drive. Try putting the compressed files on a different disk. Scan for viruses, spyware, adware, SecuROM, ... An unhealthy system can produce odd problems like this. |

You're slightly stupid in risking issues caused by references in the game .exe not matching core files.
Hmm. What sort of issues are we risking here? |

I don't know if there's already a link somewhere to the 1.16.0.187 (AL patch 1) anywhere, so here's one for those who want it. http://www.mediafire.com/?0mkzy2u23nm |

Baa Mootilda, I especially like the fact that you included the actual patch number for those of us that are easily confused. The first North American mirror wasn't working for me but the second was. So now I'd better brave the BBS and get the patch.

Direct question for Mr. Awesome himself:
Do you suggest getting the new patch or sticking with the unpatched game and your fixes?

Patch p1 is recommended. There is presently no opinion on p2 due to SecuROM.

I must be the eternal optimist... I keep hoping that EA will actually fix something with these patches.
Now that the no-cd for patch 2 is available, is there any verdict on whether we can continue to use alfixes with patch 2?

I still use AL fixes, and my game is fine.

Stupid question, which one do I download? I see there is a V 1.0, V1.16.0.187 and a V1.16.0.194. Does anyone know the difference? Or do I need all 3? Sorry for the noob question, just trying to avoid having to post in at the Podium when I end up breaking my game. |

V1.0 = For AL no patch
V1.16.0.187 = For AL patch 1
V1.16.0.194 = For AL patch 2

Thank you, Xiomberg. Now, do I need all 3? I have not downloaded either patch, as of yet. Do these build on each other, or do I just used the last(est) version? Again, so for the noobness, I have not used an EAxis patch before, due to the horror stories post-patch. But I figured it was bad enough this time to actually try it. |

You only need the latest versions of everything. You should also install all of the other EA patches. Pescado doesn't bother fixing every little bug that has already been addressed in an official patch.

Just because I'm not totally clear- installing the patch doesn't give you SuckuROM, right? I'm wondering how it got back on my computer (... is it in the ARRed version?)

Installing the patch doesn't give you SecuROM. However, running the patched EXE without a no-cd will give you SecuROM.

Okay, so I forgot before applying the patch that I'd made objects.package read-only. The patch ran without any errors, but... is the objects.package file supposed to be listed as having last been changed in early October?
