Can't remember, to be honest, which site I downloaded the patches from. I had looked at several.
I was careful to choose the English patches, rather than the Russian ones, of which there was several.
(I hadn't used the Auto Updater as this option would not work, either from the installed folder, or directly from the disc).

But after installing from the disc, and having the issues about having to "ignor" a couple of files before it would install, the game would not load or play before I installed the patches.

My AV was highlighting two files in the Bin\MissionEditor\Bin folder. I would have thought it unlikely that that was where the copy protection was situated. But I can only guess at that.

I've attached a picture of the game box.

Thanks for your interest so far.
