Issues fixed
Retail versions of the game BSoD modern Windows

The original version of Scratches is prone to crashing on modern computers.
- This issue was initially due to features that were added to Intel CPUs at the time, features that have since become standard in all Intel CPUs.

Retail versions of Scratches: Director's Cut crashing during The Last Visit
- The initial release of Scratches Director's Cut came with only one disc, which contained a game breaking bug that would cause the game to crash during the additional content chapter of the game.
- Future releases had two discs, with the second disc containing copies of the patches below, as such this issue should not be present on those copies, so long as the patches on Disc 2 are installed.
