Q: What patches are available for Chessmaster 10th Edition?
A: Please see the Chessmaster 10th Edition Downloads.
Q: Why would I want to install the patches?
A: These patches fix some of the problems and add new features, including the ability to use the software without a CD. Alsom they are required for playing online!
Q: How do I know if I have US or UK version of the game?
A: Download the US patch. If you can install it, you have the US version. If you can't, you have UK version. It works other way around too. Only the right patch will install.
NOTE: Just because you live in the US, don't assume you have the US version! The reverse applies if you live in the UK too, but we haven't had nearly so many problems with them.
Q: I get an error when trying to install either one of the two patches.
A: There are four reasons why this might happen:
1. You don't have the original game.exe in your folder (no-CD crack).
2. You have messed around with the CMdefault.ini file.
3. You already have 1.03 patch installed.
4. ?
Solutions:
Solution for 1, 2: Copy the original files from your CD.
Solution for 3: There's no need to do anything
Solution for 4: You figure it out and let me know.
Q: I'm running Windows Vista and the patch doesn't seem to install properly, although it says 'Installation successful'. How do I install the patch under Windows Vista?
A: When running the patch file, run the patch as Administrator (right-click on the patch file and select this option).

III. ONLINE PLAY
NOTE: Online Play for Chessmaster has been discontinued. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Q: Is it possible to play online with people who have other versions of Chessmaster?
A: No. Due to the use of different protocols, you can only play against others who are using Chessmaster 10th Edition.
Q: I have problems connecting to online play. What should I do?
A: Make sure you have the 1.03 patch installed and that you have all the needed ports opened. Read this.
Q: I have the latest patch installed and I opened the required ports, but still can't connect!
A: If you are using McAfee Firewall then this is the problem. You will have to uninstall it if you want to play online. Just disabling it won't work! Now it's up to you to decide if you want to uninstall it or not.
Also, Logitech Webcam causes your computer to freeze when trying to connect online. Read this on how to solve the problem.
If you are not using any of those then only God knows what's wrong.
