I won´t download any file I see somewhere in the net. I just noticed a big diffenrence in the file sizes comparing the release upped at the gcw and the ind-release I saw somewhere out there. So I just gave the hint that there might be another crack - nothing more nothing less.

Just two things I want to mention: 1) Jowood games are extremely buggy, too (add this publisher to the list of the worst ones) and 2) interestingly enough, almost all DVD players also have unstable, unreliable firmwares which do or (rather) do not get fixed later in updates.

(As I once said, testing software is inherently much more complicated than testing hardware. Even if it's a unit with fixed hardware - like a DVD player -, it actually contains hardware components of different revisions - fixing the hardware on the way, too! - and are communicating with devices of different kinds and capabilities. So, nope, it's not much easier to test than e.g. PC software!)

The initial release from Hatred also contained the patch(about extra 70mb). On the crack sites were reatined only the actual cracks. hope that explains the difference for you. Some crack teams add also the patch(example: the warhammer mark of chaos v1.06, had the patch included, so that biffed the release to about 300mb). Those kind of releases are to eliminate any doubts for what version of the game, the cracks were intended.

in the early nineties, the cracks were few and rare and you wouldn't see a first day patch.

In the early nineties they had to take more time and care before releasing games as people did not have the fast internet speeds then.
These days the game makers rush the games out as they know most of us can download a larger patch very quickly to fix their rushed releases.

Thats just my opinion anyway.
