BV patch is out
veilchen:
Too true, Lovesims. It is unfortunately an inside joke, because I don't see a whole lot of customers laughing.

We are currently investigating those issues that are clearly caused by user error. A patch will be availble for doanload shortly.
Spelling check: I think the correct spelling for this is daonload.
This fix appears to be like trying to repair a collapsing bookshelf by 1) suggesting that one replace the books, 2) ripping pages out of some of the books, and 3) installing a bigger lock on the door (because the old one was too small and was not damaging enough of the books or the shelf itself, and finally 4) suggesting that most of the problems were the fault of the customer because they bought the thing and are therefore responsible.
veilchen:
Hah. Thank you Jolrei, I stand corrected. Although it can't be my fault, it is most likely your eyes that are to blame. May I suggest an uninstall -reinstall.
Your bookshelf analogy sounds about right. I'm hearing bad things about the patch already from quite a few other forums. Just like the OfB and Seasons patch. It appears to have made some people's game run faster, but most can see no difference at all. The 'unlinked' thing and its aftermath is yet to be seen. I guess it is one of those issues that show up quite some time after install.

Much as I despise SecuROM, I don't think you need to pull out the patch. It may be mostly useless, but I see it as mostly harmless. If you already removed SecuROM before, I doubt you'll have trouble removing it again.
It's the unlinking and reducing of the character files that worries me most, actually. I took a hell of a lot of time to fix the sixty extra character files and attached crap that they put in by borking the spawn mechanism in the first place. I really don't trust them to have fixed it. Really. I almost didn't patch just because of that, but I backed up beforehand and decided that I'd take the chance. That plus the slight risk from running a frankenmesh of .exe and game files equals take it out. I really should be like ya'll and just forgo the patch and use Pescado's fixes exclusively. They work better than the patches, anyways. The coat mess with the Seasons patch, for example.
I didn't get SecuRom back, because I replaced with the no-CD before I played.

Yes, well, I don't trust the patches for that either. I know a good modder (opthalmologist) who has provided a hack (glasses). I'll wait for an update on that instead I think. :D
