Oh... it looked like DDHack was relatively goin' to work well with the Dual-Sided DVD, but the original intent of this post was essentially to confirm if the patches were compatible with it in the first place... I guess I'd have to either purchase the game on GOG (I sort of assumed theirs was...

Er, I meant that the Win 2000 w/ alt. dll patch executable (WC4DVDFix - Alt.exe) is not letting me run it BECAUSE it detects a filesize mismatch. Running it as an administrator and on any combination of compatibilities doesn't really make that error go away. I wouldn't really report it if it...
