As i noticed from last time TNF applied that patch, many crashes can be solved by just setting the launcher and the exe file in compatibility mode. Easy steps: right click on launcher and after on exe files, choose properties, Compatibility label, set compatibility with windos xp service pack 3, apply. this is the thing:
Edit: i run win 7 64 bit ultimate, followed all Vinnson's instructions. Changed my vc86redist with US lagnuage version (was italian language version)and then applied my lil fix. This was the last step to a game working.
Edit 2: 9 battles still no crashes after the fix. Enjoy.
