This file covers all changes and issues with the various patches.

GENERAL PATCH ISSUES

IF THE NEW PATCH WON'T INSTALL BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH RAILS.INI

This will happen if you have modified your rails.ini file. Click here to download an unmodified rails.ini file. Copy it to your GAMEDATA directory, overwriting the modified one, and then run the patch again.

IF THE NEW PATCH HANGS AT 75% OF THE WAY THROUGH WHILE UPDATING MARSUI24.GIZ

This is normal behavior. MARSUI24.GIZ is a HUGE file, and so it takes a long time to read it in, modify it, and write it back out while comparing it. As a result, it looks like the patch has hung, even though it's still updating. Just keep letting it go and it should finish ok. If an hour goes by without completing, then you should get in contact with us!
