My copy arrived yesterday, and I went straight home to try it out. I figured I would just dive right in without any namby-pamby tutorials and swore I wouldn't sleep until I had my first kill....
Later on, I decided that just getting out of Lorient with only minor damage to my boat was a significant accomplishment in itself.... (who's the &$#%-in' MORON who puts a concrete retaining wall smack dab in the middle of a harbor?!? Bloomin' French!!!)
The game crashed on a crew swap 10 minutes later and I gave it up for the evening....
But aside from all that, I couldn't install the 1.2 patch. Anyone else have the problem where the patch installer says it doesn't recognize a file version? (In my case it was de_menus.txt or something similar.... That would seem to be the german version of the file, even though I chose 'English' when installing from my DVD.)
I'm hoping an un-install and re-install allows me to patch it tonight and that it takes care of the crash-thing.... (Program crash, not boat crash, that is....)
