have you tried uninstalling the game or have you updated your game with the latest patch?
It doesn't make any sense, Admiral. Were we better than the Japanese or just luckier?

So we will need to change the fonts manually in a text file, but this means that you will have some long texts which can be overflowing a bit from the windows. Tell me if the problem remains with the latest (1.06) patch and with your new version.

I got my hard copy, installed it and have experienced no problems, updated it to 1.6 and no problems. When I bought the game with dgital download w/ cd; I had problems accessing digitalriver, it took 2 days and couldn't get the site to upload, on 3rd day it came right up and I purchased the game and downloaded it, had errors when downloading it and redownloaded it, my best quess is that the files were being corrupted in the dowloading process as I had no problems with installing from the CD.
 
Thnx for the replies
