Beta Patch
 

I've tried installing the beta patch 14214, but now the game won't relaunch. If I have Steam verify the files, and reset the game to pre-patch, it will launch just fine. I did a system update, updating to the latest Nvidia drivers and such(the only thing that was old, by two versions), but to no avail. I guess I'll have to run the stock patched game until the official one comes out. Hopefully that one doesn't cause the same issue as this beta does, as I have no idea what's causing it.

And you read the beta patch thread and followed the instructions? Use WinRAR or similar etc?

I didn't see any instructions on the original post, other than apply it to the current Steam version. I used Win 7's extractor, but I can try WinRAR. I didn't see any documentation in the zip file, but I'll check again. All I did was copy it over the installation in my common apps steam folder, just like the ones before it, and I never had an issues with them.

I tried the torrent version, and now all is okay.
