"Patches?"

Does anybody know of any good patch sites?

There are a load of CM patches on the Eidos site- even for the origonal version!

i don't know, i just give up on the blasted thing now. Although i did manage to start the game up last night but then it just came up with another problem, please insert the cd-rom no. 00011 whatever! but i tried the cd-rom in another drive, i even cracked the game to work without the cd but it still had that message.

Scupered!... Maybe its a mis-print? ... I popped over to the LucasArts site, and noticed that the last patch was posted 7/99, which was a while ago now (especially between patch releases?) ...

Or maybe the new version is just for the 'budget label' release?

Sounds a bit like my ISP; I was having problems with spikey pings, so I emailed them asking if it was a known problem with their service, or if I should start trying to troubleshoot my system. I mailed twice over about 3 days, and the second mail I did get a response to, but I don't think the guy's heart was in it, as it was the standard reply; 'What are your system specs etc' even wanting to know my graphics card make for some reason. Anyway, I told him what he wanted to know, and that was the last I ever heard from him. Over the next two weeks I sent no less than five copies of this email, hoping someone might reply, but I got nothing.

Would have phoned them, but at £1pm it did seem a bit steep. Anyway, they lose because I'm moving to BB soon and it definately won't be theirs.

Have you tried the actual developers site (rather than the licencee/distributor (ie LucasArts)?

I've had problems with titles i nthe past, where Activision/EA has had older patches, whilst the actual developer site had more recent releases.

I know that Ubi Soft never get back to you as i had trouble with Splinter Cell when i bought it and after constant e-mailing and phoning, still to this day they've never got back in touch.

Well i'm gonna go offline and see if i can try and sort this bloody game out, if not then it's going in the bin!

My experience of (most) technical suuport is that you're lucky if they get back to you within 48 days, nevermind hours.
Don't know what Lucasarts are like though.

Probably, i'm actually waiting for the technicla support on the Lucasarts website to get back to me but due to the bank holiday weekend i susupect it'll be longer than the 48hrs they say.

Maybe it was an unnoficial beta, or something, which was never released. ?
