Essential improvements

Exemplary setup of GOG version

An exemplary way to set the GOG version up for widescreen on modern systems. Other solutions are also possible (see below).
  1. Download the Widescreen + High Resolution Patch 1.2, unpack it and paste its System folder to <path-to-game>. Override existing files.
  2. Go into <path-to-game>/System/ and delete all files starting with nglide, like nglide_config.exe.
  3. Go to <path-to-game>\Help\ and delete or rename Intro.bik.
  4. Launch the game and go into the video settings. Check if the driver is 3dfx (on the right). If not, click change driver. In the upcoming menu, select Show all devices and then 3dfx glide for Windows. Now run the game with these settings.
  5. Now when going into the video menu, the driver should show as 3dfx and should be possible to select a resolution like 1920x1080 (click on the arrows to scroll down). # Set graphics to 32 Bit and in the Advanced tab (on the left), set everything to maximum (but ignore the FPS setting).

Patches

Texture Patch fixes issues with some textures (already present in the GOG.com version).

Texture Updater

Texture Updater updates original textures with detail textures to improve image quality.

Undying Renewal

Includes the widescreen patch above from the same creator, which allows for high and widescreen resolutions, has dgVoodoo 2 already set for supporting both Direct3D and Glide renderers, and properly scales the journal.
Adds Vulkan renderer.
Makes changes to gameplay that can be turned off. (see changelog)
Improves loading times.
Adds cut features.
Launcher allows for easy access to custom maps.

Peixoto's patch

Peixoto's patch Forced resolution allows high resolution without shrinking the HUD\menus.

Skip intro videos

Delete/rename video file[citation needed]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Help\.
  2. Delete or rename Intro.bik.

Subtitles

  • Official subtitle support only covers 40% of the game, but unofficial patches provide complete subtitles for all dialog, scripted or otherwise.[3] Such patches can be found in the localizations section.
Compatible with other mods and enhancements.
Patch overwrites three files (CreatureSFX.uax, LevelMechanics.uax and Voiceover.uax), so back them up just in case.
The unofficial patches only provide full support for one language at a time, there is no patch to provide full support for all available languages.[4]
