You may need to un-install and re-install the game before applying the patch if you have made any alterations to it.

- If after installing the patch you restart the computer and it requires you to click your name to access your own computer. this is due to .Net 1.1 which was installed on your PC during the patch install.

The Unofficial Patch
An unofficial version of the patch was circulating in the community for a while. This patch 'escaped' due to CA sending the download to various mirror sites before the official release time. They subsequently discovered some bugs where not resolved at that stage and decided to cancel the release of the patch, a few of the sites that had been sent the preliminary patch released it anyway - hence the 'unofficial' version.
If you used that version it is recommended that you re-install and use the official patch.
Patch 1.1
The first patch for M2TW was superseded by patch 1.2. You DO NOT need version 1.1 installed before upgrading to version 1.2 - indeed it is normally recommended that you install 1.2 on a fresh unpatched installation.
