has the link to EA games version of ML. I forget exactly but it is less than 6.0.5.0. Believe it starts at 6.0.0.0
Yes stopping patching exactly at 6.0.14.0 is a pain in the butt. I have found many of the features you are trying to get by nudging closer to that 6.0.14.0 mark already exist in versions 6.0.5.0 which leaves alot of room for stopping the patch.
Also if you are willing to do some serious digging, there was a post in these forums about the older version of connectuo, how to make it work by changing skins. In that post was a post by another guy describing in depth how to set a fake file in your patch folder that would cause the patcher to patch only as high as the fake files name. Meaning you could stop a patch dead on the version number you wanted.
Too lazy to look it up for you. I just play the "can I stop it fast enough by clicking cancel lottery" the rest of you do.
