ok, i have a laptop downstairs with the internet. I have my computer upstairs which has GC2 installed, as V1.0, limited edition Europe edition. I have (last night) downloaded the V1.4 patch downstairs, onto my USB, and then installed it upstairs. Everything seemed to be working ok, until i tried to run the game. After finally entering the correct activation code (from the paradox pages), i then found that i was unable to run the damn game, the the activation key needs to connect to the internet! other than unhooking and rewiring the computer, installing the dial up software etc etc, is there any other way to get the upstairs computer to run V1.4?
