Atleast that did it for me. Thanks, that fixed it for me too. Tunnel to UK. Same here - connect via VPN (France) did it for me. It's only required during update. After finish updating, you can disconnect from VPN service and play as usual. "Imagination is more important than knowledge.

You need the patch to log in. the game starts without trying to patch. You can log in anyway. Its possible that the game crashes if something necessary is missing, but the failure message of the patcher only hints to a missing file for portugese speechversion. Its a temporary workaround only during the failure of the patcher. Last edited by Rumpelzuck#5726 on Aug 18, 2020, 3:53:43 AM	Posted by Rumpelzuck#5726 on Aug 18, 2020, 3:48:51 AM Quote this Post
