    Everytime I try to play online it says I don't have the patch installed (screenshot below)

    [​IMG]

    I've done 2 clean installs with the same exact issue. I've downloaded the base game straight from the installation guide page, installed it with no issues, replaced the files in the game directory with the patch, ran the registry file, set both the loader and usabattle to Win7 SP2, and ran the as administrator. I had to create a short cut and add -w to the path or the full screen application crashes. When I try to go online; I get the above message. Please help; I feel like I've done everything right.

    that is a standard informative message everyone receives when they log in. Did you try to create a game?

    I haven't but if this is normal does that mean there's normally no games active? Or is there another way to see games that are currently up?

    Press enter chat and then join, and you will see games and people talking/trading in chat.
    By pressing the Create button you are able to create a game and by pressing the Join button you will see the active games created by other people, within your level difficulty range.
