I've read that they fixed the Nano Catalyst bug and decided to give it another try.
Loaded up a checkpoint... OK NC still 0, hey maybe the game just saved it that way.
Played a little-> Ok NC counter frozen, maybe start a new game.
Ahh, now the HUD vanishes (though that was a quick case of quit 2 Menu, reload Checkp.)
Killed the first Cephs-> Ok NC counter still frozen to 0->Uninstall/reg. cleaning/reinstall.
So all this patch did for me was jack **** and Jack had diarrhea. >_<
