Sorry but I have a stupid question....

Just downloaded the patch last night, unzipped it, put it in the OOTP folder and then opened the game, but I thought that when I did that when the licensing statement popped up it would say OOTP 4.0b but mine still says 4.0a is this right or am I doing something wrong? I know this is simple however, I am barely computer literate, but I LOVE this game. Thansk for anyone who can help.

*When you downloaded the patch it should have been in a .zip file (OOTP40b.zip).
*You then should extract (uncompress using the zip program (like WinZip) the contents of this .zip file into your C:\Program Files\OOTP4 folder.
*If you used WinZip to do this then you will get a message asking if you want to overwrite OOTP4.exe, you should check yes to all.
*Then if you start OOTP4, the opening spash screen should read:
"Welcome to OOTP4 (Version 4.0b)"

If it does you've got it right, if it doesn't then you've foulded something up.

If you've messed something up just post a message in this thread and I'll try to help you further.

Good luck.

Thank you. I am sure that will do it. You guys do such a great job and I couldn't have asked for a more thorough and exciting game for $30.
