hi!

i have a slight problem with the patch...
it comes up with the message that i have a "wrong Version" of SE4. the message also says it can update Versions 1.60, 1.67 or 1.78. however, my SE4 install says Version 1.84 gold (install plus se4patch 3 from malfador website).

do i really have to reinstall?

This has been known in earlier patches aswell.
As stated it's due to the timestamp on the exe.
for some (as me) the upgrade works perfect, but for some a reinstall i s required.
And as already stated, if you reinstall you only have to apply the current patch.
If you wish to keep any extra shipsets you can install over your old copy before upgrading if the upgrade doesn't work on your current exe.
(I had to do this with 1.84)
