Hi there Phil

In the US DVD the patch 1.4b is already in the game
you don't have to installing it

In the Main menu in the game you can see the patch
in the right down corner

That is true if you have the new DVD, which is patched to 1.4b and Starforce free.
If you have the original DVD with Starforce, you must have the correct 1.4b patch (which states it is 1.3) for your version of the game. If this is the case, you need to find and delete the file (de_menu.txt) and the patch will run.

Installing 1.4 is like Sex. Just put it in and let it do the hard work.
