I find that the patch fixed plenty. Before, you couldn't access the MP portion of the game thru the game itself, but had to use Gamespy. Now it works fine. A bunch of other MP fixes have been included as well, the host isn't the only one that can choose which faction you play, the point limit is changeable, etc.

It also runs good, even on lower spec machines. Reason being is because it isn't actually a full 3d game. It's a hybrid 2d/3d game. When the camera gets a certain distance away from units, they go from being 3d models to 2d sprites. It's hardly noticable (in fact I didn't notice until someone posted about it on another forum, and even still it's hard to tell), and the game is still a beauty to look at.
