Hello everyone :)

you would have to contact who ever made the patch as it's a Community Version, only the Community use and have it, i'd hazard a guess that no one here as seen or know anything about it im sorry to say me included

Thanks for the reply :) I just now managed to get it to run.
There is an old thread with someone having the same problem here: viewtopic.php?t=93072

I managed to start it now. I assume this can be closed or deleted or what is custom here :)

Cheers!

I encountered another error something like "access violation reading x0-4" first thing when starting the basic campaign.. that I could not solve or find anything how to fix it. I just play it unmodded :) it's fun as well.
