I wish I had this a while ago, there are no servers at all in Oz/NZ anymore :(

I get opening ffow.exe... done
performing crc-check... failed, patch not applied. I am using the STEAM version though.

I've got the retail box. STEAM executable is probably very different, and if it uses encryption I doubt I could fix it.

All these different game versions make product support so easy... :roll: :wink:

I'm working my way up in the world. :D

Got the game (Collector's Edition mind you), fix is working great at 5040x1050 :bowdown
Too bad the disc must be in the drive to play, as if the 2-DVD install + 2 GB patchfest was not annoying enough... Ah well.

I'll post an update to the Surround section in Mach's DR thread when I have proper screenies.
Big thanks General ! :cheers

Whoa there. Don't rock the boat too much. ;)

Damn you, UE3!

:lol:

This is now the 3rd UE3 game I've worked on and in all instances the games could have had great Hor+ support with a minimal amount of extra effort by the devs. Sort of like running a marathon right up to the finish line, then walking off the course instead of crossing the line. :?

Too bad I've only got the steam version :(

If any one does find a way round it please let us know!

It's a lot more difficult when memory editing these games. ;)
