Thanks! I finally fixed the problem by unistalling the game, wiping all the leftover files, redownloading everything and then patching. That seems to have made the difference over just verifying the cache.

Edit: nevermind, wrong thread.

I'm trying to downgrade my current Steam version of EU+EW back to EU Update 4 with this patch. It's not working. The game simply crashes before the main menu loads after appyling the patch on the step that asks me to rename the Documents folder and start the game. File patching completes without obvious errors or warnings. Steam is online, auto updates are disabled, cache was verified prior to patching, phoning home was enabled then disabled per instructions. Any ideas? Does this patch still work with the current XCOM EU version? The patch log file shows no abnormalities. The game's log file ends in the middle of video adapter detection. Unpatched XCOM EU/EW run fine. Edit: I was able to get the game to run after running Enemy Within. It seems like patched EU does not create certain localization files in My Documents. But it's no good. The game crashes all the time. The log file shows many faiel attempts to phone home (it's blocked it hosts) and problems loading items from game cache.
