I just downloaded the ~120mb patch, installing it now. It's English.

Rickenbacker · 03-22-07, 07:39 AM

So they didn't fix the non-working TDC bits and the looping sounds?

I knew publishers were cynical, but this is just not cool. I mean, Ubi Soft KNEW this game was broken, but released it anyway. There's no way you wouldn't notice these bugs even if you only playtest the game ONCE. Money talks, I guess.

Still, after the next patch we might have a working game here...
