the patch in several weeks.
The problem was in getting online via Sierra, and it's the same
problem you have if you try to connect using a no cd.exe. The Sierra
authentication servers were not updated to reflect the new version of
the game, so you couldn't login. Once the Sierra auth system has been
updated, everything will be fine. If you've downloaded the patch over
the last few days, you have the version that is going to be released
officially.
Eric Busch has posted something about this on the Sierra forum, I
highly recommend reading it before speculating.
