Having downloaded the zip file, open it and run the patch program inside.
Notes:
At the end of running the patch program if a message box appears with ????? in just press the button to complete the install.
Having added the patch you may need to update the version of DirectX on your computer (you will get a missing DLL message when you start the
game). The latest version of DirectX can be downloaded from Microsoft. We downloaded our update from..

The patch has fixed the missing explosions/effect graphics for me! Explosions, splashes, shell trails, smoke, etc. are all visible. I'm still getting problems with the sound (explosion sounds "stuttering") and the "Hood vs Bismarck" missions still crash the game, however.

I noticed a few other fixes + changes (e.g. left-clicking doesn't automatically exit direct control mode)

Effects all fixed for me too. I got one CTD on a tactical mission but reloaded and the tactical mission played through completely second time around so it was probably a one-off exception.

Looking good so far :D , thanks for the patch !

I uninstalled, deleted all folders, then did a registry scan, then re-installed, everything works great now, I got the error when I tried to install at first, so try a clean install

how are things with the new patch, besides getting the effect back? Does it play like what kilo has?

If so i might just get this, since the 1.5 patch for NA PS is causing a random CTD after loading a saved game.

Well the patch won't install for me. Same problem as the screen posted above. But when i clean installed it still had the same problem. Probably because i'm on Vista.

Patch installed nicely.
Fixed a lot of crashes (it's only loading and quitting a game that gives me a hard time now).

System:
AMD64 3700+ , 2.4Ghz (This is my bottle-neck, too many units and it grinds to a halt)
Win MCE 2005 (XP Pro, SP2)
2GB Kingston HyperX (PC3200) 2,3,5,3
Nvidia 6800 GT 256 MB, AGP (No problemo handling all settings turned up/on but Post effects, 1280x1024)
Audigy 2 ZS
2x 200GB S-ATA (virtual mem on secondary)
Freshly installed Widows before I bought PSA last friday.
