Note that using the GamersGate version of the patch on the Steam install of the game is officially unsupported, though it might still work.nickersonm posted the two links to the GamersGate version of the patch:
http://patches.gamersgate.com/sots-1.8. ... -cand3.exe
or
http://nickersonm.com/sots/sots-1.8.0-e ... -cand3.exe
There is no downloader with those links, just the 154mb self-extracting zip/install of the patch. Just clicking on the above links will start your download in most cases, but you could also right click on the link and click "Save Link as..." (or "Save Target As...") to save your download if you are trying to run the patch directly from the net instead of downloading it. You may also want to make sure that your browser always asks you if you want to either run or save a file when clicking a link, so you can tell it to save the above file to your local hard drive.
I can't get this to work... are those of you who got this working using some kind of trick to get it to patch? I'm just running the patch file... it unzips, runs for a minute, then gives me a "patch failed" without overwriting any files. I'm directing the patcher to my steam\steamapps\common\sword of the stars directory.
In the patcher window it says:
"Updating sots_local_en.gob...
C:\(temp file path)\sots_local_en_gob-1.8.0-patch.pat
No suitable patches were found"
Perhaps someone could give me some "unofficial" advice?
