2.1.3b Patch

I am patched up to 2.1.3a I went to install the 2.1.3b and it said bad path. It didn't give me the option of chosing the path so what should I do? I have secided to play this again seeing as my system isn't upgraded yet to play SH3.

you should download the gold patch

Now the version I bought was when it forst came out. I know they came out with a gold version in the box, so I can just re-install the game and patch it with gold instead of 2.1.3b? Or do I use the gold patch now? What order should I do all this patching in to ensure it works?

You have to uninstall E:RT and install it again before you allpy the gold patch.

(its the only patch you need, its contains everything from the previous patches, but you need to reinstall E:RT and not apply other patches).
