The 1.00.04 patch for the Special Edition version of the game. This is a minor patch that corrects 2 bugs.
MANUALLY DOWNLOADED PATCHES MUST BE COPIED INTO THE FOLDER WHERE YOUR GAME IS INSTALLED AND THEN EXECUTED FROM THERE. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN AN IMPROPERLY APPLIED PATCH UPDATE.
It is highly recommended that you read the Version Control File for your game before applying any patch. Also check the patch discussions form for additional information, especially if you have the digital distribution (e.g. Direct2Drive, Digital Rivier etc) version of the game.
Applying an incorrect patch (e.g. applying a boxed retail patch to your digital download game version) version can invalidate your game and will require that you uninstall and re-install the game from scratch.
ALWAYS use the game updater (all our games since Universal Combat Gold) to retrieve patches from our patch server (if online). You must add the updater.exe file (located in the folder where the game is installed) to your firewall exceptions list or the program will be unable to connect to the patch server.
Using the game updater, the patch file is downloaded, automatically copied into the game install folder and executed.
