Here is a direct quote from the MOO3 site about how to install the new patch. NOTE: the patch does not install correctly.

Quote:
To install the patch: Download and unzip the file. In the directory with the unzipped files, run the "Install Moo3 Patch.exe" to install the patch. It will move the files to their appropriate location and update the registry.
Do any of you understand this? Unzip the file: Ok, Run the "Install Moo3 Patch.exe:" Ok. About a third of the way through the install, it errors out. This occurs each and every GD time I try it. I have even downloaded the patch from other sources and still I get the error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MOO3 and still get the error. From what I gather a lot of people are getting errors.

Lets face it, if they can't even make a patch that will install, the game is hopeless.

Ok, I get it to install and presto it updates.

THEY NEVER FIXED THE FUZZY FONTS

Second, does any one understand that F-ed Up opening? I mean it seems to me that they had no clue as to how to open the game so they invented something that made absolutely no sense at all.

For the record, when that happnes, you might as well as forget the rest of the game; it's trash as well.

The patch FIXED NOTHING of importance. NOTHING that mattered. The patch is NOTHING!!!!!

I mean this when I say it, they should fire everyone who was involved with the game and start over. Publish an apology and refund peoples money.

Which brings up the question...is it worth postage? Come on all you MOO3 owners (with patches) is the game worth the effort now?

5:05pm *Head in hands* Oh my God, how did this game get out the door? I haven't seen anything this buggy since the original Outpost way back when, and that had a cooler intro. *Sighs and checks receipt*...great. No returns, just exchange. Oh God what was I thinking?
I read that reveiw as well. I had posted about people posting reviews BEFORE the game came out saying it was the greatest game ever. Those guys really must have been idiots.

I could have returned my copy as an exchange then returned later and got my money back when I returned an un-opened copy of the game. I figured to give the dumb *** at QS a chance to redeem themselves. What was I thinking?

You just have to ask what in the hell were those idiots at QS doing all this time? Why oh why didn't some one step up to the plate and say; "Guys this game sucks, lets make it more like moo2?"

If ever there was an excuse to fire a group of people MOO3 is it.

Firing is too gentle. I say we tie them to a chair and make them play their own game !!
