    Is patch 1.3 the DLC or is it something else? Is PFM not starting or .packs won't open?

    I think most of us can open the packs just fine. That's what's strange about your problem.

    I don't have the DLC yet so I don't know what is happening...

    This is the exact error message i get when i try to open a .pack file

    See the end of this message for details on invoking
    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

    I think I get an error like this when I try to open a .pack file while the game is running.

    Are you absolutely sure you have .Net 2.0 or better?
