Bonjour La Provence!

Here is the upgrade route to follow:

Upgrading from 1.00 to versions after 1.05 require the following special upgrade method to be utilized!
Upgrade from 1.00 to 1.06.03
Upgrade to 1.07.02
Now load the latest patch!
Reboot!
NOTE: This is temporary!

Upgrading can cause intermittent font issues. This may look like you are missing text/buttons. To remedy this please REBOOT after loading a patch!

Upgrading an existing game while battle files are in the battles dir can cause unit location problems! Please clean your battles dir (After completing your battles) should solve this!

Wide screen monitors with their DPI set to something other than 96DPI can cause viewing issues making the game unplayable. Please set your CRT DPI to 96.

I thought there was a plan to make the next patch a stand alone so we did not have to go through all this?
