I am not having any luck with the patch, either. The game (BCM, not BCMG) runs fine before I install the patch, but after the patch is installed, I only get as far as the initial splash screen (which, I noticed, is not the "SafeDisc" one that appears pre-patch). I watched the process list in the Win2K Task Manager--the program simply quits without an error message about a second after the initial splash screen disappears.
