Patches[edit]
- If your original version is 1.0, you will need the 1.1 uninstaller patch to avoid the uninstaller deleting system files. This patch is not included with the 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 updates. This patch is not necessary to install if you have the updated 1.2 retail re-release, as that version includes the 1.1 uninstaller.
- The latest official patch is 1.4. It includes game fixes from the 1.2 and 1.3 updates, but does not include the uninstaller from the 1.1 patch so that will need to be used separately if you have the original 1.0 release.
