I saw a reply in the last few threads saying like "redownload the game after applying the patch". It did work so here's what I did. Download and extract. Apply the patch and if you get this (1st picture) when you start. Exit the game and re-extract the main game. Overwrite the files and then play it. You should now play it without any problems. I haven't started but probably later. I heard it's a bit of a grind fest to get to certain things? Still, it better be worth it.
Edit: DO NOT reapply the patch. It'll just end up like the first picture. I just tested it out just in case.
