Okie doke, well I just tried that and started the game. The menu buttons like "Single player" "multiplayer" "options" etc. etc. are showing So that's progress. But when I go into a game, none of the text is showing for any of the items, or anything. Unless that's how it's supposed to be? Thanks for the help so far
Edit: Oh by the way I already am on version 2.43.0 build 1671 with the US patch. I say this because you mentioned above for me to download the UK version 2.43 patches once this little issue is good to go. So just letting you know so it won't cause any other issues or whatever involving patch versions that I may need to get.
