Can't download patch
 
I click link and it directs me to, basically, nothing.

Anyone that got the patch already and can you please upload to filefront or something?

I downloaded the new English patch from the official KB website and it's useless - it's a .rar file (i.e. Most of us here in the U.S. lack the necessary extraction program to utilize the file). Windows extracts zip files for free, btw. Maybe they're going to release a zip version for the U.S. here shortly.

I tried the Atari website support section, assuming they may have a zip file, but I can't get through - they're saying that my browser (IE7) is not supported. Gee, perhaps I should find a more popular browser.

Looks like we're back to where we started, folks.

Winrar - www.rarlab.com

Its a very common program. The trial/free version works fine.
If you can, can you upload the rar file youve downloaded?

patch fix 1.65...RAR file
 
Who puts out a patch fix in an RAR format. Now that is simply ridiculous to me.

Enarr, I'm gonna hold off on the patch for a while. Perhaps the devs or Atari will provide a zip version for us here in the U.S.

If somebody else doesn't help you out soon, then I'll see what I can do. Surely there's someone on this board who already has a .rar extractor and an existing account with a file hosting site - I have neither (sad face).

Exactly

Er what does being in the US have to do with .rar files? As somone already mentioned, just get winrar. You are about 3 clicks away from being able to handle .rar files.

As for file hosting sites. Goto http://www.savefile.com - no registration required to upload a file.

Winzip 11.2
 
Download Winzip 11.2 it's free and it will unzip .rar files. I just unzipped the patch with it!! :cool:

RAR extensions
 
The point is I should never have to download some program to unzip a patch a manufacturer distributes to its customers.

It should have already been unzipped with an appropriate executable for immediate use by the customer.

The whole point of compressing the file is to make it easier to download. Providing an uncompressed file would defeat that purpose.

Could someone that was able to grab the patch please post it for the rest of us that can't access it?
