| There are two major version types, the Steam version (2019-02-09: current version 1.6.6) and the DVD version (latest version is 1.5.3599). According to several internet sources, you can also download the game with the CD key of the DVD version from Steam, but then with the newer version 1.6.6. Both versions are savegame compatible with (you can load and play the Steam version with the DVD version and the other way around), but they do not allow a shared network game (connection fails). Likewise, they are not replay-compatible (in either direction). | There are two major version types, the Steam version (2019-02-09: current version 1.6.6) and the DVD version (latest version is 1.5.3599).

| Essentially the usual way: Install from DVD, patch, if necessary copy a crack over it. Alternatively, run the Steam installation. The DVD game can also be started from a copied folder if you have already backed it up or from a previous Windows installation. The patch 1.5.3596 to 1.5.3599 cannot be applied anymore, even if you specify the directory where FA is located. The patch also doesn't work with the cracked version 1.5.3596. Version 1.5.3599 doesn't seem to contain a DVD query anymore. A crack is therefore no longer necessary with this version. Therefore, the recommended procedure for the DVD version is to install the game including the patch and to save it if you don't want to install it again later. | Essentially the usual way: Install from DVD, patch, if necessary copy a crack over it.
