Hi Battists,

I thought I'd read on this site that only downloading the new executable would cause changes to existing leagues to not take effect. Did I misunderstand something? I have no problem in paying for another CD to be made, but don't think I should have to pay the full price minus the discount. What I'm trying to say is that I should not have to pay the full price for a 'patch' when I've already paid the full price. Does that make sense?

I learned a valuable lesson to routinely save the league. I simmed tons of games and mades trades and whathaveyou, then .... crash. Makes me not want to play that league anymore.

We largely made just the executable available precisely to aid dial-up customers like yourself.

I apologize, I'm not trying to be flippant here, but I'm not quite certain what you're asking for. Unfortunately, in this day and age, digital distribution of patches is the standard for practically every software product. For example, if Civilization or Microsoft Word comes out with a patch, they don't ship out new CDs.

Thanks very much,

Steve
