Or Direct2drive has the 1.4 pacthed version for D\L

That's the Ubi Exclusives one I was talking about (same site even :P) - somehow I failed to notice the stonking great 'Focus' logo on the box image. Does that come without Starforce? If it does my long SH drought may be about to come to an end via Super Saver Delivery

EDIT: Also would it be lan-compatible with someone who has the original (presumably Starforced) game patched to the same 1.4 version?
