Still no sign of the patch or the DLC on Matrix.

Unfortunately I think the rule of thumb is not to buy through Matrix unless Matrix is the sole distributor, when they aren't you can almost always buy it somewhere else significantly cheaper (e.g. Gamersgate are currently selling UoC for £7.48, Matrix are charging £25.19) and with significantly better customer service.

I wonder if the gamersgate version of the dlc works with the matrix version on the base game?

Really kind of bewildering on their part. I mean, of this is what their MO is going to be heading forward with little indie devs who want to make their game available in other places...why would those indie devs sign a deal with them to begin with?

I do not understand because I generally like dealing with Matrix since they will sell me CD's.  Price doesn't matter that much.
This is hard to figure.

It won't because you need to have the 1.04 patch installed before the DLC is usable, however the developers 2x2 are very helpful and you should be able to ghet a new version of UoC from them, have a look here http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3230312

I assume the GG DLC will work with this but cant confirm as I haven't bought it yet as I'm still playing through the UoC campaign.
