I've encountered the same problem just AFTER the installation of the PATCH, i have to use again the old executable, luck it is in the backup directory of the game. Any idea how to solve it? I have 2 cd-roms, i had a similar problem with another game cuz that.

Be truthful here... are you running a backed up or copied version of the game? If so, you're out of luck, we will not offer support for that kind of thing

nope, i have an ORIGINAL game! personally i hate all copiers, u should help me now.. hehe kidding but any advice to fix it is well accepted. The game AFTER the PATCH does not work anymore, it says "cannot find the CD-ROM, i had a similar problem with another game...with 2 or more Cd-Roms in the comp, the game did not start, they fixed it with another patch p.s if i use the old ghost.exe in the backup directory it works! so it's really the patch

If it is genuinely the case that you have an official copy that is no longer working due to the patch, then contact customer services explaining this - if you are lucky they may send you a modified EXE that will work. Some companies do this, not many but some, and so you may be in luck.

Thank u for ur advise, by the way i will not bother them for that, hope they will fix it in the next patch version. It's sounds amazing they will modify the exe just for me, they should fix it soon cuz it seems too many players have this problem after installing the patch, especially not english versions, like german or mine (italian).

Did you install the game with a CD-writer drive or a "read-only" drive? You should never (as a rule) install copy-protected games with a CD-writer as some will refuse to detect it (see posts above for reasons). Do you have any "CD cloning" software installed (such as Alcohol, Virtual Drive etc)? If you did install with a read-only drive and it fails to work I would report this to Empire Interactive here.

Sick Puppies are looking to produce patches for the French/German and Italian/Spanish versions of this game. There is no patch release date for these languages at the moment but when they become available they will be in the download section on the Empire Interactive support site.

Everything is clear now!! The patch was only for the english version!!! Germans, French and Italians have to wait their own language version releases. THIS SITE SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR ON IT. I suggest to go to the empireinteractive.com site to download the NOT ENG patch when available.

They are more clear about it now (in the official forum and the Empire Interactive website), but yes they should have been clearer from the start.
Calling the update the "European patch" in the readme file didn't exactly help either. I hope they get it to you quickly.
