sooooo i installed from the disc, ran it, couldnt play online coz it needed the patch, so i used the in-game prompt to install the patch, it took 3hours to download and then WOULDNT F**KIN INSTALL BECAUSE IT WAS THE US VERSION.... ffs could it not detect the right version BEFORE downloading?

First. download this file, Clicky it's a different version of the FEARL.Arch00 file in the game's install folder. (File is approx 75Mb)

Make a backup of the original FEARL.Arch00, then replace it with the alternative version. You should now be able to apply the 1.07 patch.

If you want to, you can then copy the original FEARL.Arch00 back to the game's install folder. However, this step is optional. I have tried the game with both the original and the alternative files, and in both cases it seems to be perfectly ok.

If you look at the games read me file after applying the 1.07 patch it refers to the game as an English (North American) version !!!

Hope this helps.
