I recently downloaded Update 4.0 and started a game - I put the downloaded files in the AC Directory, but it doesn't seem to include the new features. What else do I need to do?

it�s not enough to just copy the downloaded file into *any* directory.
Put the file anywhere,but then execute it,i.e. open up the windows-explorer,search for the file and double-click it.Then just follow the instructions,and the patch will be installed.

It appears the 4.0 patch is now loaded, since the Borehole Cluster recently appeared in my current game, and I didn't have that before. Ever since I started this new game with the update, however, the sound and music for the game doesn't work. The Secret Project movies all have sound, but the game does not. I've checked my settings in the Game window, and they appear correct for generating sound. Any ideas?
