Note this is for the U.S. 1.2 patch only, the German
patch probably differs although a similar search
will probably yield similar results.

It's just an idea, I had it when I heard about the time bomb.

But for the benefit of those of us who don't really know what you're
talking about...
Would it be possible for one of you to post the "hacked file(s)" somewhere
so we can download it and play 1.2 in spite of being programming-challenged?
What you describe is probably the simplest thing in the world, but I for one
just don't feel so sure than I'm not gonna***something up!
BTW...is the patch still available somewhere?
