Can anybody tell me how to patch EFS to Nova 2.3?
I know unzip and all this stuff but should I patch EFS before with official path or something.
One more thing can you send me your PBEM save games i was trying to play before but during loading game state the program was quiting.

Yes, you need to have the official EFS version 1.4 installed before you unzip Nova.
A savegame played in a modified version other than your will quit, mainly if the unit.dat file is different.

Ok i downloaded this 1.4 patch. Should i run this dat_0527.exe and then patch with nova or leave it alone and copy nova files to their folders?

the dat file contains only all original dat files, if you need to restore them. Apply the patch 1.4, after that unzip the Nova files with subdirs active.
If you like to have another patch for another game, keep a untouched EFS version, and copy that everytime in a new subdir (like Nova, Hyperion, PBEM1, ... - so you can have all needed patches installed.
