Patch help

[PlugInPortnoy]

I live in Israel, where game prices are ridiculously high, so I bought my game here: http://www.biggamedownloads.com/free-strategy-games/civilization4.htm
Now when I download the patch it gets to 100 percent civilization closes down to begin patching, and then it says there is no version of civ being detected or installed or whatever. I can't play multiplayer. What should I do?

Seems like a sketchy site....Why didn't you go to a more mainstream site.

Direct2Drive and other like it only sell the game to people in UK, US, Canada, and Mexico.(And the one other site that sold to the whole world was for 65 dollars)

Please somebody help?

Edit: I also asked the customer service on 2k games about this and this is the answer they gave me word for word, letter for letter. They also marked the issue as solved: "Can you confirm you are try to dowmload Civ4 and not Warlords or beyond the sword?"

Are you serious?
