1)Its quite easy, just download the file, unzip it to your OOTP4 directory overwriting the old OOTP4.exe file, the patch is nothing more than a new executable. Here are step by step directions:
- Click on this link:http://www.400softwarestudios.com/dl...ip&source=OOTP
- When the dialogue box pops up make sure Save File to disk is selected and click ok
- Save it to your desktop (Select Desktop in the pull down menu at the top of the box and click Save)
- After the file is downloaded and saved Right Click on it.
- Select Extract All
- In the Winzip path click Browse and follow the directory structure until you find your OOTP directory (C:\Program Files\OOTP4 )
- Click Extract. When the pop up comes asking you to overwrite the OOTP4.exe file click Yes to All.
- That's it your done. Just open the game and you should be ready to go.
2) No, the patch is an executable... if its working you can load any of your 4 leagues and all will be fine without any extra work.
Hope this helps.
