on install armada2.exe gets renamed and a loader gets on it's place. the loader runs the renamed armada2 executable and patches it loaded in memory. also i have to provide a modified networkmanager.dll to allow vista users to get multiplayer going.
in short: modifies game executables
otherwise, the patch does what it says in the post

What does it do?
Some of the most "popular" bugs patched are:
"Sorry, there is not enough memory to continue"- screen for people using more than 2gb of ram
Crash to desktop right after splash screen related to an stack overflow
Multiplayer/Online crash with Vista (could fix Wine multiplayer issues too. To be confirmed).
Features
An enhanced exception catching engine. The new patch makes Armada using madExcept by madshi as new exception handler which allowes you to send us extended debug info to us when a crash occuors on your computer related to Armada which we can fix for new releases of the Patch 1.2 Project.

Is that all?
No, it isn't. The first releases of Patch 1.2 are intended for bug fixing only. Later version will feature full widescreen support and new enhancements for mod developers.

NO-CD patches ARE legal in the US IF and ONLY IF you own the program legitimately, and can prove it if you get arrested/sued. such as having an original copy of the CD or other proof of purchase.

You're also allowed to make copies of the disc if you have the original and it's only for backup. The thing is we have absolutely no way of making sure it's legal and to be honest, I don't want Activision/Mad Doc knocking on our door because of something I allowed on the site. At the moment, we're erring on the side of caution.

There may be a delay on this due to reasons mentioned by Joel above. He wishes to find out a bit more about it. He is the Site Admin, thus he gets to make that choice.

No doubt you'll find out fairly soon, about what is going on. I hope to know by then also.
