I am getting seriously hacked off with needing to wait for a UK version of patches for games ... the PC market is becoming as bad as the console market ...
oh well ... if I cant get the patch then the game goes back to the store ...
very crap service firaxis ... I wont bother buying any more of your games

Don't know what to tell you. We'll get the UK version of the patch out as soon as we can. I wish it was out now, but there is nothing I can do. If you want to yell at someone, yell at your local retailers who won't carry products that don't have on-disc copy protection. That's the holdup.

I just want to say that it is inapropriate to
blame Firaxis for this. AC is a really funny game, very complex, so it won't be easy to do all the work in a very short period of time (but I'm waiting for the German patch, too).
This forum seems to me as really user-friendly, i just had sent a question and
it was answered really fast.
So if you want to blame somebody for being lazy, buy a Sierra game and wait for patches (I'm waiting for a Lords of Magic patch for over 8 months, they promised 2 weeks).
