yeah when?
I'm with you on this one Master k... Europeans are as usual (sigh) neglected. But that seems to happen all the time with American companies... maybe they haven't realised yet that we're at least a third of the market...
Firaxis, look at how many games have been sold in Europe and you'll understand why those patches must be done! No offense intended.
Que ce soit ecrit et accompli oder gemacht or whatever the language...

When we a do a patch for one language, it is pretty much done for all of them. We just have to wait for the testing... Believe me, we put these enhancements up as fast as we can! The problem is that we can test the english versions, because we write them. The other versions have to be tested by others, so the process is slower.

Chris - your answer would imply that the UK version should be out almost immediately after the US version, which does not seem to be happening - is this a different issue?

Having to wait ages for a new patch to fix a game is not very fun. Go Firaxis!

I�ve posted this message elsewhere on this board but the issue is to important not to be noticed so here I go again:
Why is it that patches for the UK-version almost always are later then those for US. It�s the same language right? Why does it even have to be one UK and one US version of the game? Myself being in a country with
UK-versions find this extremly annoying since I always have to wait for patches. This is not something uniqe to
SMAC but concerns most games but that makes it just so more irritating.

An EU Directive making the two versions different.
