Patches
- The 1.01 Patch updates the retail version of the game to the latest version.
- The 1.01b Patch is merely an alternative to the 1.01 patch, in case you experience problems with it.
- There is also the semi-official 1.02 Patch which requires either 1.01 or 1.01b to be installed already (it was created by a former Mucky Foot employee).
