I just received my copy of Vanilla Civ and installed it. Works fine; however, when I downloaded the v1.29f patch, I get the ugly "Insert CD and try again" error.
After reading through some of the threads here, I'm starting to think my copy was a bootleg. Is there a way I can tell? It looks like a normal/legit CD; however, it did arrive with no box or manual despite being listed as "new" and "factory sealed."
Other than the CD error, I suspect it may be a bootleg because it doesn't require me to keep the CD in the drive to play it. I had two options during the install - a 500mb (uses the CD) and a 700mb (doesn't require the CD) - and it appears from some of the posts here that you have to keep the CD in the drive to play. Is that not the case?
I ordered it through Amazon so if it is a bootleg, I'll get a refund through the buyer protection program.
TIA
