Hey Pcelt. Will try to help out. I take it you d/l your game via steam or some other online client, as mine is also patched to 1.15 and seems like some issues others have had are not in my game, so I presume it is more up to date, however I will like to know 100% myself.
2. I d/l a mod from CCIP called Command Keys 1.02 and It made the game instantly more enjoyable on that one the arrow keys are used to move and w,a,s,d are as they were in SH3/4
3. In steam you can have the option to auto install patches etc or give permission 1st.
Hope I could help
