Have you tried that downloaded game? And did it come with a couple PDF files or the full 300 page manual as a pdf file?
I check the available files on a regular basis. They tend to be older versions, which develop menu problems quickly, and wont patch forward successfully. Thats part of the protection scheme for this game. Appearing to be a good download, but it only plays enough to make you want to buy a fully working version.
Occassionally I find a working latest version, but the next patch tends to wipe it out. (and we just had a patch)
