Patches
- Patch 1.2 - this patch is already included in the unofficial patch.
True Patch Gold Edition
- For more support, go to the website here. May not be SFW.
Aims to only fix bugs and preserve an experience as close as possible to the original game similar to the Basic version of the Unofficial Patch but without adding or changing any aspect of the game itself. Is not compatible with the GOG.com version of the game due to conflicts between it and the Unofficial Patch that is pre-installed.
