@Asimov
I don't know why they are not removed, but for the fixes which do not work correctly, there is a "The file doesn't work correctly" statement on the bottom.

@Grumpy
Do you think I am to rude sometimes ?

You’re absolutely right Monty. I was recalling quite a while back when the build problem was commonly known over here at fileforums but there was no message beneath each of the files.

I guess they made some progress. My bad.

The problem stands that if the file is not working properly, why isn't it removed. Maybe it’s a courtesy to the crack makers. Simply removing it, regardless of its less than perfect functionality, might be a kick in the face for their time and effort.

Hi Asimov,

I don't think Empire would have the time to deal with non-functioning patches, besides the flood of functioning ones. Also, if I were Empire, I might not want to take upon myself the "responsibility" of removing patches that _might_ work for _some_ people, while not working for others (majority? minority? how should I know if I might not even have that game!).

The best one can do, keeping his or her objectivity, is adding a comment like "some people reported this patch to be not working properly" or "the creator/the submitter of this patch made a note that this one works properly unlike that other" or similar. Bye,

Joe
