Edit: Yep, patched game is upa and running fine. FYI, I do have Daemon Tools and CD/DVD burning software, but as long as they are closed down when the game is open I get no complaints from SecuROM.
Really? For BV, even when I was using the cd it was giving me gripe about the emulation software. .....even when I actually, uninstalled the emulation software. Hey, I needed to update it anyway. No idea what was going on there.
kuronue:
It's ironic to me how they flock to baaa out the term "sheeple" at anyone who disagres with the majority opinion. Um, what? :D
Avalikia:
I've read the entire thread and my two lingering questions remain unanswered:
1. Is this patch worth installing? (i.e. is the number and severity of bugs fixed by the patch greater than the number and severity of bugs created?)
2. If I choose to install the patch which of my hacks can be removed?
Naturally, if the answer to #1 is "Yes" then I'll want the answer to #2 before proceeding.
Drakron:
1) Well it does fix the dancing contest bug, I think it is worth it since the only bitching about it was about SecuROM.
2) I think the only hacks that became redundant were the ones that enabled BV and Seasons functions to the new expansions objects.
Sagana:
I think it's worth it - it's a huge list of fixes and people are reporting less lag/faster load time if it works for them. That's my experience as well - my game is sorta mysteriously "better" now. Back up your hoods and downloads first. My Desiderata hood just wasn't there after I patched. I put it back in from back up and it was fine. (Interestingly I've played Desiderata since I put in the previous patch but not my custom hood and the custom hood was fine. Maybe coincidence).
I can't say for sure what's not needed anymore. All the fixes would hafta be tested to be sure. The patch claims it fixed the biotech machine, but does it really? And for both virus and medicine even though it just mentions medicine? Anyways, I pull all my 'fix broken things' hacks and put back in the ones that fix things I notice wrong rather than the other way around. I'd rather not leave one I don't need as I'm afraid it'll conflict somehow with the game code if it fixes the same stuff.
