I have Rome Total War Gold Edition, my regular Rome game is patched at 1.5, but my BI rtw is patched at 1.4, what patches do I install and how? (I have no idea how to use the patch once I download it)

Download and install the BI 1.6. It will upgrade RTW to 1.5 and BI to 1.6.

I can get to this link and start a download. The file is a 'zip' file - the file has been compressed to take up less space which also speeds up downloads. You may need to install WinZip to be able to unzip it. Some PCs come with the ability to unzip files.

When it's unZipped it will be an 'exe' file and you just double left mouse click on it to run it. I htink tere may be a readme text file as well.

When you apply this patch you need to check that your RTW is still 1.5 as it's possible for this patch to downgrade RTW from 1.5 to 1.3! If this happens you need to apply the 1.5 patch as well.

The version number of the game is shown on the top right hand side of the options menu.

I already got it from FileFront

Direct file dl ftw! Anyway, I found a way around the "zip" file problem; instead of left-clicking on the link, I can right-click and pick "save target as..." this helps as I don't have to wait for my internet to connect (and believe me, it takes HOURS) just so I can download these files

If you 'save as' you will still be downloading, surely?

Some of these sies only know Bill Gates. For Firefox, Opera, etc. the download rules can change. Ihad Firefox for a while on my old copmuter and I found some sites were built for IE. I had to learn the "save target" routine because of it.

I use Firefox and I've not encountered this yet. I do know that sometimes downlands want IE but I've not encountered that problem before.
