Thanks Battlewookiee for that. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions worked for me. I see now that there are no 1.0b international patches yet at LA. I tried again automatically updating, with virus and firewall software off, not with IE, but still no luck at all. I still get the response:
Patching File TexturePacks\swpc_tex_tpa.erf
An incorrect version of the file was found on your system.
The update was unable to complete, since the file contents were incorrect.

Get the manual patch.

The patch has been aborted
Of course, I would love to try to get the manual patch, but I don't know quite when that will be available. Also, I was wondering if the patch helped anyone with the 1/4 loading bug. I am stuck right after you get on the Ebon Hawk after speaking with Atris and leave Telos. Once the dialogue is finished, the game starts to save, even though I have turned off autosave, then stops about 1/4 of the way through and the Windows error report comes up. I have tried lowering graphics and sound, upping them, turning off virus and firewall software, updating drivers, but nothing helps. By the way, I am using an ATI video card. Anyway, thanks again for any help and suggestions.
