UK Patch

[astarot@coolgoose.com]

I ordered the uk-version of the game some days ago, at amazon. Now i saw, that there is only an us-version of patch 1.20. Could somebody tell me the differences between uk- and us-version?
Will i have to wait, or is it possible to use the us-version of the patch?[&:]

UK and US patches are not compatible - usually. They use different copy protection. BUT as v1.20 US did remove the copy protection they ?MAY? be compatible ? Not sure if this removal was by accident or intent. Please try and report.

Thanks for your reply. My copy of the game arrived today. I downloaded the patch as .zip file, which gave me an error message:"Das folgende Verzeichnis konnte nicht erstell werden: Matrix Games\Titans of Steel - Warring Suns".
Then i tried the .exe file. This time, the patching was successful.
But now, i have another question. My UK-version showed me v2.0.0 as version number. Now, it shows the 1.2.0. Why is the version number of the unpatched game higher, then the number of the patched version? That's a bit unusual[&:][8|]

Where does your UK version show v2.0 ? The patch is correct as there never was a v2.0.

On the subject of the UK patch, is there ANY chance of patching to an "official" common version now ? Surely anti-piracy protection is no longer really an issue (how many copies are still being sold ?).


EDIT. Sorry, should have read this;

..... before posting. The Justplay (UK) version patches up to 1.2 US (from 1.1 UK) without any problem at all (the .exe download - didn't try the zip). Just wish I'd tried it before [:(]

The version number is shown in my windows taskbar. When i changed the window during gameplay, it showed "ToS: WS CC v2.0.0". After the patch, it showed the v1.2.0
Very strange, since i never heard something about a version 2.0
