U mean, 1.4 wont start?
Or it worked before with 1.4 and lower, but not anymore? Are u running 1.6?
Oh well.. if u are using 1.4 and its not working, maybe the patch is only for 1.6.
Update anyway and see if that works. If it doesnt, uninstall, and reinstall again. Apply the patches and try starting the game again.
It HAS to work.
