I think that might not work. It probably only includes changes from 1.93 to 1.94... It is too small to contain all of the changes since 1.60. 1.91 patch was 4.18 MB.

You guys are right. I tried going from 1.91 to 1.94 using the small file and it will not work. I am downloading the large file now.
It should be done in about half an hour. Horribly slow connection to SF; only 10kb/sec. 
Wonder what changed from 1.93 (original deluxe release) to 1.94.

Hopefully Aaron made tho game interpret track numbers as file names in Settings.txt so that 100% of Gold mods will work in Deluxe without modifcaiton. |

Re: The Patch!
To help alleviate potentially clogged S1st bandwidth, we have added the patch to a BT tracker:

See the stickied SE4 File Tracker thread for BT usage information. |

Re: The Patch!
Ok, that was a little tricksy. In the past what I have done was copy my c urrent SE4 version, then upgrade the copy. I tried to do that here, browsed to where I made the copy, but it ignored that and upgraded my current version anyway. I guess it only upgrades the copy that it finds in your registry entries.
Still works ok, just something to keep in mind for anyone intending to keep version 1.91 also on your machine.

I don't think so, my current install has drifted between 2 computers, 3 hard drives and 4 or 5 OS installs and the patch still worked. Its alot easier to just copy it over than redownloading and installing everything off the cd again.

Re: The Patch!
Well, I don't know how it did it, but on my machine it most definetly upgraded the original that I left in the Shrapnel Games directory instead of the new copy I put in the Strategy First Directory.

Re: The Patch!
I wonder if there is a way to call the patch from the command line and then point it at a particular install folder with a switch?

Try doing it at <3kb/s ... it'll only take 8 hours or so Why, oh why couldn't there be a Gold->Deluxe patch separate from Classic->Deluxe!

Re: The Patch!
The patch is probably a simple over-write of everything that's changed. A lot easier than isolating changes by version.
