Just a quick note on the "free update" that's been offered to owners of PCK. While I'm grateful for the uber-patch, I have to note that some folks are gonna struggle with the process. I'm pretty tech-savvy, but I spent several minutes, brow all a furrow, before I worked my way through to the download link. I'm posting this here, because I didn't want to go potty on the release over on the main game forum. Again, though, I'm grateful for the update. God willing, and if I survive the flood, I may actually buy a retail copy of the game. Dang, but aren't I a hard-case!

Edit: For anyone who drifts over here, the download speed isn't all that bad, about 500k. Rather, the download is going to take a while because of its girth, about 1.4GB. I guess that its just the nature of the beast.

A few notes for anyone who ventures over here for help...

The process that you'll go through to get a product key and download link is somewhat cumbersome and confusing.
The download itself is actually quite large, so be patient.
After the download is done, the installation process takes a while.
When queried as to whether or not to update .NET and DX, do so.

When you've successfully negotiated the process, you'll have PCO working on your computer!

I don't think the challenge is any worse than most google searches or playing most war games.
