Just bought PCM 2012 today through Steam. And having played several of the previous versions of PCM (though the latest being PCM 2008), the first thing i did after buying & downloading the game was to download the latest patch for the game (knowing how filled with glitches the older versions that i've owned have been).
Downloading the patch was no problem, but as soon as the instalation process was about to finish, i got an error message when the game was about to launch... saying something about there being some problem with the patch that i had tried to install.
So my question is.. considering that i bought the game today, do i need the patch at all? Or have all the bugs already been fixed in the original game that i bought today?
Just asking because i really don't want to start a career, only to have the game crash within the first few seasons (which used to be the norm when it came to the older PCM games).
If you bought the game by steam, then I believe you won't have to worry about patches because Steam should automatically install the latest patch. If you want to check if that's done, in the main folder of the game (something like Program Files/steam/steamapps/common/PCM12), right click on the "PCM.exe" file -> Properties -> Details -> Version.

Yes, you're spot on.
It's version 1.4.0.0.
Thanks for the help lluuiiggii, much appreciated!!!
