This patch upgrades version 1.1 of Dark Reign 2 to version 1.3. Please note that you must first install the Dark Reign 2 v1.1 patch (if you have not already.) It is not necessary to install the v1.2 patch. If the Patch is not installing correctly, we recommend backing up your users and custom missions and reinstall the game. If you have modified the game, the patch cannot operate because it requires the original data. Saved games will not work with the Patch, however, Campaign Progression will carry over to the patched version.
