The thing

[Joe Forster/STA]

Hi, perhaps, the new 1.1 patch will fix it but anyway, here's a batch file for you that you should run in the game's home directory. You'll need the 32-bit console version of the latest Info-ZIP, see http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html#Win32 and get unz550xN.exe and zip23xN.zip. Have fun,

Joe
