Hard to say as North American version is NOT in stores yet. Thank god for the Russian connections. At least they are fixing problems with the game fast.
There are quite a few copies out in North America, I live in Alabama and I pre-ordered my copy around the 25th of August and I recieved it via UPS on 09-03-2008 ! Aside from there being no CD Key , Im not having any trouble whatsoever playing this game. The 1.5.03 patch works fine and the Trainer works fine as well . I have a pretty decent PC and the graphics are great ! I havent had a crash or a stutter yet so I think we tend to want to blame the trainer a little too often. I think I may use the no-cd fix ...it should go a long way towards smoothing out and speeding up the frame rate.
whew, I said a lot but Im afraid I didnt help anyone very much,
