Croc: Legend of the Gobbos - Definitive Edition
Use a fan patch
|
- Make a backup of
Croc.exe (only when using versions before 1.2.0 as that version dropped 32-bit support, as it comes with Croc64.exe instead) and the gdata folder, in case anything goes wrong.
- Download the patch here.
- Unzip the contents of
Croc Legend of the Gobbos - Definitive Edition.zip into <path-to-game> .
- Start the game with
Croc.exe (or Croc64.exe if using later versions of the patch).
Notes
- Can not be used together with the "music patch", Definitive Edition has it's own fix for the sound, combining these will crash the game on later levels.
- On weaker PC's, higher resolutions runs slower, change lighting to "Medium Lighting FX" or lower the resolution if lag occurs.
- Makes the game Linux compatible.
- Ability to use every type of soundtrack (PC, PSX and DEMO).
- No need for wrappers, works natively on modern Windows/Linux.
- Widescreen.

Notes
- Can not be used together with the "Definitive Edition", combining these will crash the game. The "Definitive Edition" already fixes the music anyway.
- Replaces the redbook audio soundtrack with the soundtrack from the PS1 version, which includes numerous more tracks not present in other versions. The "Definitive Edition" also includes the PS1 music with an option to switch between this, the PC and DEMO versions of the music.
