how did you extract the patch?i mean which program did you use?there are some, which are not able to extract the beta patch correctly, which will result in the game not even launching anymore.
had that problem with the first beta patch, and with every beta patch, i see people having the same problem.
i dont understand why the devs dont mention how to correctly install the patch.
in case that really is your problem, try to extract the patch with 7zip.
