    Having trouble installing patches for this game. I have the UK version and can install patch1 ok. However, I cannoy install any other patches or co8 stuff as the game will no longer start up. Is my only option to just use patch1? I was thinking to download a pirate USA version (I have a license afterall) patch it and use my UK play disk?!?

    The patches should work for all languages so I don't really know why your game wouldn't start after installing them. Have you installed any unofficial modifications prior to patching?

    I would try to google a no-cd patch. I had similar problems after installing patch 2, and the only way I could make it work was to apply a no-cd fix. It's a shame that you would have to apply something like that just to make the game work, it just really shows how Atari shoved this game out the door half-baked. Thank God the modders at Co8 have taken this broken game and made it live up to it's potential.

    I have the same problem,my game Australia uses UK I think,so USA patches don't work. Both 2 & 3 refuse to work,even if language OK. Is there a work around for this?

    There are no separate language patches, so the ones listed on SP are the only ones that exist. Try checking the troubleshooting info on Atari to see if it's any help.

    OK,I have just looked at ATARI,I will contact them in Australia later. I saw in Co8 a manual regedit to use the patches,but I can't get it to work...lol.

    My error is "Cannot locate TOEE ANY/ENGLISH/USA on your computer" trying the three patches.

    Do you have a legal copy without any no-CD cracks installed? If the executable's been tampered with, it could result in the patch not wanting to install... This post on Co8 describes a solution for the issue, but I guess you've found that already.

    Oh that could be it? I was given copied discs a friend did not want,with asking price of $50+ for a legit game,but with bugs galore in it,I did not think it worth it at the time(I presumed it was a UK game so patches do not work?). dummy me..lol ^_* . I do not know a 'no-CD cracks' thing,so could not reply on this,but understand copy protection etc.

    Anyway I want to play the game and lucky to have found this week a legit game for $10ish(used),which is OK. So I am happy(hard to find this game around here). I will install this and see what gives when I recieve it,hopefully yiheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ^_*

    Yep got the orig game and the patches worked!!! Yes the copy disc don't help with patches.. The game I brought is virtually brand new so I got a good deal on e-bay. Even the box and instructions are perfect. Playing now with Co8 mod.

    thanks again.
