Can't apply 1.35 patch - Italian retail version

Submitted by Sweet on Mon, 2007-05-14 14:37. Technical Support

I purchased SE5 a few days ago in a store.

I tried to apply 1.35 patch but I always had the following message:

"Your SE5 Version does not match an older version required by this patch. Please reinstall SE5 and then attempt to install the patch."

Some info:
- The version displayed in the game is 1.30 (this is the version of se5.exe file too), but in History.txt and Readme.txt files is mentioned 1.33; this is the installation version (I didn't apply any patch).
- I reinstalled the game several times with the same result.

Do anyone have an idea, or already solved a similar problem?

Thanks in advance for help.

1.30 was a beta between 1.25 and 1.33, (not an officially released version), so lord knows whats going on. Try getting the retailer to replace it if no one here's able to help.

The one thing I really hate about SEV

Submitted by iou0 on Mon, 2007-05-21 03:50.

I really loathe the abominable DRM included in SEV.

It is the one thing I really hate about this game.

Had the same problem with applying 1.25 (downloaded by Digital River) until they fixed it in 1.25 R2. After a lot of pestering Strategy First customer support and complaining to Aaron.

Probably the guys are not even aware there is a problem.

When will any software outfit learn that any DRM just hurts their paying customers?

Thank you very much for answers.

I purchased italian retail version (the game is in english), so I suppose it's a problem of all italian versions...

I'll try to persist with customer support...

iou0, what's the meaning of DRM?

I think he means Digital Rights Management or something like that. Basically something to try and stop piracy.

I hope customer support serves you well Smiling

Last news (Aaron - se5 (at) malfador.com): the patch 1.35 on Malfador Machination website (and Strategy First website) will not work for italian version, we'll have to wait the patch on Empire Interactive website (watch their website over the coming weeks).
