Well, it's common with EA games you know. Battlefield 2142 was funnier, the patch was 1 day before the release IIRC.

It's not really uncommon... Even looking past EA, it seems to get increasingly more common as the publishers pressure their developers. Anyway, it's just work done between them having to ship it to CD pressing and us getting the game in our hands.

no patch here as well !

but damn this game runs great on my system no slow downs/crashes at all

i only posted this post to give the information about the patch and its availability after you install, or before you launch the game from windows.

I do enjoy that at least EA did step up and find this material out for sure and get it fixed for us, so we would have a broken game. Hey; we could have got another Star Trek - Legacy :)
