I don't think its going to work on mine. I've got a weird Taiwan English version. First it says its in use. Then I patch it and run it again. This time it works but I get an "application error." I've backed out and redid all of the updates. Now it finds the EXE but it will not let me select patch or enter a resolution! What needs to be changed for 1920x1200?

I've got a hex editor. I'm not sure exactly what string to search for and replace.

I ran into that too. When you first install it makes the exe a read only file. Right click on the executable, properties, uncheck the read-only box.

It didn't seem to take any time to undo anything when aborting the patch, so I'm assuming that my version is half-patched now, but seems to work fine. Can read all the dialog and everything. Only weird stuff is the minimap, as said before, and some of the frame-buffer effects being distorted, like force speed, which now has sort of a checkered pattern. Still much better than having those black bars though!

Its not read only. I've actually copied the EXE off the cd and reapplied all of the patches.

Sorry I misread your post. Since the patcher only works on the base version, it's probably only going off version numbers. Would that be in the ini, or just hardcoded somewhere?
