2) Before you patch the game, copy/backup the file MATRIX3W325.BIN. Then update the game and then overwrite the newer MATRIX3W325.BIN with the older file you previously backed up.

Try it and let me know.

1) Rebooting doesn't do anything.

2) Keeping that file does let you keep playing the game after you've patched it, but it seems that that file is the biggest change of the patch, as the game runs exactly the same as before the patch (still have textures turning white, black characters, framerate issues, etc) and the game still won't save control configs etc. etc. etc.

The old file is like 6 megs and the new one is 8 megs, so that's where a lot of the changes are kept. If you replace that file you might as well not even patch in the first place.
