Since the makers of this patch obviously dont care about you enough to advise you, I am doing it for them. This patch has a 90+ percent chance of messing up your game and wasting hours of your time to reinstall... and that is only if your are saavy enough to find all the old prefs hidden in your system and delete them.... I spoke with them (Greg Grimes at MacSoft Tech Support back on 11/18/03) and he said he would take the 5 minutes it takes to put a note on their site that the patch WILL DAMAGE YOUR GAMEPLAY IF YOU PLAY CUSTOM MAPS ON ANY SERVERS and I have the email to prove it. They never did that and it is 2 weeks later. So, because I care about my fellow mac people more than this company that is taking our money and wasting our time, I am telling you. DO NOT INSTALL THIS PATCH UNTIL THEY RELEASE THE FIX. I was told it would be out "soon" over a month ago so dont cross your fingers, as they obviously dont have 2 minutes to spend on you and write this themselves or take the patch down. I love the game, as I am sure you do too, but do not use this patch, and please take the time to complain to them about this issue and the fact that they are wasting your time directly at support@macsoftgames.com
