Im in the UK, so maybe thats the problem

the following from graham somers (many thanks!)

Currently the patch is only available through our auto-patching
process via in-game matchmaking, but a downloadable version should be
available down the road. The big question is no doubt, "What has been
updated?". Here is a run down on the additions and fixes from the patch.
You'll notice that improvements to in-game matchmaking and the Scenario
Editor are a main focus of our efforts in this update --

Um... exactly HOW do you patch? I went to the website and couldn't download it. I tried opening the game (full retail version) but I couldn't find a patching program. Help please??

[bhg_paul]

Run RON, go to Mulitplayer, pick multiplayer matchmaking (gamespy).

I ran the gamespy option, it downloaded the patch, but it did not run the patch, is there something else I need to do?

I can't get the network to work. This is the only game I've had troubles with.

LAN play works fine for me...

Ridiculous !

The game froze up and corrupted the registry on my internet machine and is prone to crash on the other where it does load!

So here I am on a backup of the master HD of my internet machine to get a patch and this?

Bizarromundo!
