Thanks Crazy Gringo! I guess what's throwing me off is the definition of "archive" in relation to the the game directory (the patch folder has the patch & 2 other files inside which I don't know whether to keep as is or replace the existing files, but which folder do I put patch into?). I suppose I'll have to do some digging...
I use WinRar and it extracts the patch into its own patch folder within the main H&S directory. Does this work already as is or do I have to manually replace original files with the patch files ? The patch version doesnt show at start-up so it's hard to tell for me. Thanks.
