Please update your bookmarks and visit www.patches-scrolls.de from now on. News entries 1999 Patches added in 1998changes december, 21stupdate: 17:50For myself this year seems to be over - I will now pack everything together and enjoy the last few days of 1998 with my family. So do not really expect to see another update to this list until 1999.
Requires the commercial version of Doom installed.
Also known as Independence War in europe, I-War's patch only adds customary changes to the game and fixes no bugs.

The previous 2.1 release had a broken server.dll , this is the fixed version.

Together with a bunch of fixes this revision also adds a new Deathmatch level.
update: 01:50Too many fixes to list here, just read the whole thing.
changes december, 11thupdate: 03:40

changes december, 10thupdate: 10:20
Thanks to Stefan Hett for e-mailing it to me. changes december, 9thupdate: 06:40Not patches related is the playable demo to Aliens versus Predator (47.6MB) which got added, because i enjoyed the Jaguar version so much.
Plus a few Amiga patches, which will be added later today. changes december, 8thupdate: 05:00This patch is for people who can't get "Subversion" to run with the Matrox G200 bundle OEM version of Incoming.
No idea what 2.2 fixes, but since i found it on Matrox site it should have a few fixes for G200 inside.
update: 03:00
If you refused so far to go the incremental path in BC3K AD because there were so many incremental patches - get this one to shorten the path a bit. It is still a preview patch, though for the ever delayed 2.0
This is a hacked together version (3dnow drivers from Quake 2...) so be warned.
Only very old Cyrix 686 CPUs should have a problem with the game, and according to Rage's techsupport only with the bundle version which came with many Voodoo2 boards.
If the game accidently failed to find a game file on your hard disk - replace it with the contents of this archive.
Another "bundling problem"(?) - here with using a Joystick in Compaq's bundle version.
Another bundle , another joystick problem - here with Creative Labs GB Riva TNT cards. changes december, 5thupdate: 17:13

changes november, 27thupdate: 19:41
This patch fixes the lockup in the Deadcity Feather Of Truth Quest.
There was no information available for this patch. So if anyone installed it and found documentation about this patch, let me know.
changes november, 24thupdate: 05:03It took me a while to figure it out since this patch came with no documentation and there was none on the website as well. Read the patch text for update details. It doesn't explain the split between game and data update, but lists a lot of fixes to the game.
Fixes the "8 stadion crash bug" - or so the readme says. changes november, 23rdupdate: 02:54changes november, 22ndupdate: 22:56
changes november, 19thupdate: 18:30The server is back again - i will be busy overnight to apply the "backlog" of new patches i have at home.
changes november, 16thupdate: 23:12Still no news on a new ftp server machine and i am running low on quota - so this time i have to use direct company links:
Furthermore there are a few new patches to Battlecruiser 3000 AD, check out Galcom for more information. changes november, 14thupdate: 02:26As a in-between solution i decided to use up some of my own valuable quota to add some patches while they fix the ftp server.
Most of all this allows you to run the game in NT4 with Service pack 3.
changes november, 11thupdate: 22:56You might have wondered why the server seemed to be busy all the time these very last days. Well, the answer is simple - the machine holding our ftp server crashed hard last week and admins haven't been able to repair it until now. I hope it'll be up again next week. Please use a mirror site in the meantime.changes november, 7thupdate: 19:37This patch brings back the blood and mayhem to SCi's UK release of the game, which has zombies instead of humans.
This first patch fixes some bugs in the UK censored ("zombie") release of the game. Other versions might not need it, mostly crashfixes for people who have resident programms (virus checkers, etc.) in their system running while trying to play Carmageddon II.
update: 16:42Lots of bugfixes in this one, superseding the "realism" patch finally. Read the full details
update: 11:12
This patch is for those users who received F-22 Air Dominance Fighter as an OEM deal with the Intel motherboard. Do not try and install the v5.144 patch as it will not work. This patch will fix problems with Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2 3Dfx graphic cards.

update: 21:23I am going to replace Klingon Honor Guard & Moto Racer 2 demo tonight with Populous 3 & Blood 2.
Lots of updates, now you NEED the latest revision to play multiplayer since the game does version checking now. Read the full list of changes.
update: 02:49
Cryo's site only mentions fixes for some bugs in the game, nothing specific, so I cannot help you any further.
I made an error when first adding version 1.35 - the patch i added was only useful for people which already had 1.1 or later, not 1.0 . changes october, 30thupdate: 22:59Lots of multiplayer fixes - required now for play on Internet Gaming Zone.
Lots of Multiplayer , especially for PXO "customers"
changes october, 29thupdate: 05:07
Thanks go out to G.O.D.S. for mentioning it. changes october, 28thupdate: 03:54This is the long ago promised 3D cards patch for Red Baron 3D. Whether or not it will replace the 3DFX patch is unbeknownst to me as there wasn't any documentation which could be easily extracted.
This patch fixes several game text problems in the german version.

update: 00:22
changes october, 26thupdate: 21:35
changes october, 23rdupdate: 23:24Never answer e-mails after 3AM - you'll end up writing gibberish *g* When i downloaded the new MK4 patch and compared it to patch 1 on my HD, the only difference i found were different filedates - the readme stated the same and filesizes were the same. After receiving that patch even in e-mails, i went out and downloaded the patch again. To my surprise this patch was REALLY newer - not 4 days older than patch 1 as i thought last night....
Adds 640x480 software rendering mode, improves DirectX6/Win98 performance.
This special version also adds new weaponry in campaign levels.
update: 03:30
This is a german only release.
Read the full details here and don't install it if you don't have the Players Choice Edition!
This patch will enable you to download and use new rosters for the game from EA's site.
German only patch.
This patch can also be applied to Indepence War (aka I-War + 3DFX upgrade) and fixes a few glitches in the game.
If anyone knows better french than i do and owns the french version of this game, please correct me if my assumption about the nature of this patch is wrong.
See above.
Interplay wouldn't tell what they fixed and they made the first patch i've ever seen with an license agreement applied to it....sheesh.
changes october, 20thWestwood seems to have put out new blade.exe replacements for both CD & DVD. I have still no idea what they attempt to fix.
Copy the extracted Galaxy.dll into your Klingons\System directory.
Use this fix only on the Matrox OEM bundle. Don't apply patch 1.3 & 1.4 to this special bundle version!
Patch 1.0 adds support for Direct3D for some cards, as well as ability to export statistics, improved AI & bug fixes.
Version 2.12 improves performance in LAN & Internet play. Also of note: i surpassed 1,800 added patches for PC today and Netscape released Netscape Navigator 4.5 two days ago. But since they released it , knowing it contained security bugs i am a bit skeptical about the quality of their release. changes october, 16th
This release can be used both as a fully playable demo as well as an upgrade for the full release.
Most noticeable change: no selflimitation to 20 FPS anymore. Read the full list here
changes october, 12th
Since this is a semiofficial patch handed over from the programmers i won't include it in the general database. If you want news on progress of this patch, head over to NCAA Football 99 Website . They are the original host for the patch.
changes october, 10th
For a detailed view of changes, try 3dfiles.com or AVault. I couldn't extract the readme for this patch.
Since this is a "fanproduct" be careful when using this patch. If this doesn't concern you, extract the included 3dfxgl.dll and put it in your Quake 1 or Quake 2 folder.
changes october, 8thI added DynoTech, Bullseye Software and Hasbro Interactive to my Games Companies listing today and fixed a few links as well. If you want other companies added, let me know.
This patch is solely intended for people who run Windows95 build 950 & 950A (the initial sales version and first OEM release)
changes october, 7thI updated the Games Companies listing finally, which was long overdue. Therefore the changes are too numerous to list here. If anyone knows of a programm for either Unix or Windows which would just verify that all bookmarks i have in my bookmark list were still valid & up and report the dead ones, please e-mail me at [email protected]
Thanks to Mike Weeks for getting this patch onto the net. And to Miles for sending it to me.
New in this patch: your score when finishing the game is now correctly displayed. Thanks to Thomas Rosner for reporting this patch.

This patch can be applied to North American & Australian release of Descent: Freespace
This patch is (according to 3dfiles.com intended for the german & french versions of the game. changes october, 1stSEPTEMBER '98changes september, 30thI may be wrong (I cant verify this since I dont have the game) but it looks like this patch adds some new slots as well.
Fixes in patch 1.2: If an AI leader was killed and you subsequently exited the game and reloaded the saved game, the game would hang when the replacement leader became active.
This patch fixes a crash that occurs in the scenario editor.
Furthermore i read on Voodoo Extreme that Descent: Freespace 1.04 is coming in the next few days - maybe even today. changes september, 28thThanks to Mark Powell for notifying me about this patch.

changes september, 25thFixes in version 1.04: - renamed "pass" on Command Panel to "End Turn" - added direction scroll tabs - faster screen draws - fixed rout indicator bug changes september, 24th
This is a patch to fix the 'Crash on returning to Wb' bug in Gloom 3.
This is a file that is missing from the first copies of the english disk version.
Fixes in this release: - No more "talk without sound" : conflicts of voices with sound-effects removed. - Always pick right sentence from CD-ROM. In some very rare cases the original version mixed-up. (eg : no more problem of "use hammer with hubcap" producing Frank talking about piggybank) - Voice stopping generally at the right moment (no more cut-offs) - Major fix of the inventory system. - This fixes the famous crash when leaving Toon's bank, when giving the disc to MrPeanuts, many occurrances of double objects in the inventory, and other sparse crashes. Thanks go again to Andreas Kuerzinger for sending me all Amiga patches.

See above.
This patch fixes problems with saving games on FAT32 drives with partitions bigger than 2GB (and is of course german only)
Solves problems with changing CD when loading the expansion set and is too german only.

Version 1.3 deals only with Voodoo2 specific problems - so if you don't have one, wait for 1.4 *G*
This patch is only for the german release of the game.
This patch is only for the german release of the game.
This patch is solely for the german release of the game (which also had an english version on the disk, afaik) and should not be applied to Interactive Magic's version. changes september, 15th
This patch is for the Matrox OEM package only and should not be applied to the retail package (once it comes out...) changes september, 13thI had to remove the WarGames update, since i was told that it corrupted the game for everyone. Look for a real patch sooner or later.
This version of the 3DNow! drivers are not from AMD, but some third party. Use at your own risk.
I don't know which patch is identical to version 1.04.07, but this patch asks for it to be installed. changes september, 12th
Don't run the game from autoplay with Voodoo2 or else the patch won't work.
changes september, 11thThis patch is for the CD release of version 1.08A only.
changes september, 8thThis patch will upgrade any previous version. For full details on updates, check the patch page
changes september, 4thSince i was a big fan of Railroad Tycoon when it came out (despite all its bugs and shortcomings) i decided to add the demo for part 2 here as well.For those who take an interest in such things, here are the total stats for august: PC : now containing 1,741 patches Mac: now containing 186 patches Ami: now containing 42 patches These 3 parts together amount for about 2.4GB , so if anyone wants a full
backup of this archive, you'll have to order 4 CDs now.
This patch requires the 3DFX patch for F-16 Fighting Falcon to be already installed on your system.
This patch fixed problems with Voodoo2 cards and a lot of other things. Go to Mad Genius to check out for more information. I decided to merge their 4-part patch into one since it can't hurt to have all patches together. Apart from that their installation instructions were incorrect.
AUGUST '98changes august, 30thThanks to the nice people from Descent Network Team even the good ol' Descent 1 now has support for 3DFX cards (even at 800x600). D1X & DDR are variations to the code to improve multiplayer performance of the game as well as capabilities. For further information, visit www.descent2.com.Note that fanmade patches won't be included in the general area, you will have to select the appropriate button.
changes august, 29thFrom what i read on 3DFiles this patch is solely for owners of 3D cards and should improve performance of the game as well as granting you access to Janes' multiplayer network.
You need version 3.17 of Quake II installed for this patch to work - it may fail on any other revision.
Fixes in this release: * When Players are in-battle they are displayed in the In-battle area on the Match Maker page. changes august, 28th
There was a special note on rainbow6.com that this is to be considered an interim patch and the real one (which will render the sound patch obsolete as well) should follow on september, 11th. Meanwhile read what's been updated
Quite a lot new for version 1.32 - read in detail changes august, 26thThe list of changes since is too large to post, so just read the whole document
changes august, 24thI removed a few older demos and added a few recent ones instead:* Klingon Honor Guard movie (25.3MB) * Starcraft: Brood War movie (34.4MB) * Knights & Merchants playable demo version 1.20 (14.9MB) Back to patches news: Note that this is a bugfix release and only works on the european releases of Commandos, a feature patch is forthcoming in september. If someone is able to apply this patch to the crippled german version as well (and maybe gets all the censored stuff back into the game), let me please know. A detailed list of changes is documented in the included readme
I don't know if you need version 3.17 (+CTF) installed or not, but i guess this is very recommendable.
Please, could somebody clarify if this patch supersedes version 1.5 of RB2 as well?
Note that this is still in beta and may crash on a couple of chipsets. For detailed instructions, read here changes august, 21stMy apologies for incorrectly correcting Rich from Gone Gold that his update for Golden Tee Golf wasn't an update at all. I must have been checking ITS Games ftp server a few hours before they put the patch online. Until then there were only a few beta upgrades left on the server...I read over at Wargames Central Computer that MGM has recalled the first patch for the game because it will somehow become corrupted during download. Since they already shipped the first few copies of the game infected with a virus (and they weren't the first big company doing that) this might just be another mistake on their part. Therefore i will leave the patch here until i get a firsthand report that the new wargames.exe is indeed corrupt. Back to patches news:
changes august, 20thNot many patches today, but quite some interesting other news.First the letter from PC Gamesworld arrived yesterday and they promised to resolve the situation soon. I've got my own subdomain for free from dlh.net . Now you can reach me under patches.dlh.net as well. Right now this is only a referrer which still links to my site at Dresden, but if suddenly someone decides to run ads on my site I will move the whole site over there. We will have the most recent files on their server too, so in case of a crowded server here you should be able to get it there. I've got a cold, I wonder how this was possible with almost 30 degrees celsius outside every day :( Back to patches news: This patch deals with problems for people with S3 Virge, Virge VX or ATI 3D Rage II based cards.
changes august, 18thDue to obvious disinterest (3 hits a day isn't very much compared to 500-600 here) i am about to shut down the US mirror website. The ftp site at cdrom.com will remain but i wont update the webpages there anymore and if traffic doesn't pick up it will be gone after the summer.More disturbing to myself though was another thing i discovered while browsing the net for interesting sites with patches news. When i was visiting PC Gamesworld i thought the descriptions they had for their patches looked very familiar. Upon further browsing through their list it became obvious that they just copied the content of my site - all file descriptions are the ones i wrote and the only places they point their ftp links to are here at Dresden and my mirror at cdrom.com . There was no mention on their site where they got this list from and they made it look like it was their own work. I already sent them a letter asking them to remove this archive immediately, i dont like it when others steal my work. To make it clear once and for all: I don't mind if other fanpages use my archive as long as they place a link to my site or if searchengines like Gameguru (a very valuable source to search for patches or reviews, i might add) link to my files as long as they list my site too, but i don't want to see my work ripped off from companies to raise money with that content. The only commercial site which has the permission to use my archive is Games Domain and nobody else unless they pay for this service! I spend so much time with maintaining this site i certainly don't want this being commercially exploited without ever seeing much more than a raise in our servers traffic. Please send your letters to [email protected] and let them know what you think.
This patch should fix problems users with a Cyrix CPU may have (6x86 series). It also comes with a new video codec (the one i was reporting about a few days earlier) and if you should still experience problems with animations, you should get the Intel Indeo v5 video codec from Intel's website (www.intel.com).
changes august, 16thThis patch replaces your wargames.exe . I have no idea what it fixes and it doesn't seem to be a fix for the reported virus infection of the first few copies of WarGames. changes august, 15thThe good news is: Games Domain is back on track, the bad news is: their US server (and i suppose quite a few just enter www.gamesdomain.com to connect to it) is NOT. But i think this will be sorted out in a few days and is only a result of a lag in the process of the mirrors syncing with their original site.Yesterdays big news was certainly Starcraft 1.02, but unless you are a battle.net player there is currently no chance for you to get the update. It looks like Blizzard may put it out to the general public by tomorrow. So in the meantime look if any of the other new patches is of any use for you. I will add a few new demos tomorrow and remove the outdated ones.
This seems to be a newer build than the previously added 1.04 patch. There was no documentation on Sierra's site but the patches are definitely different.
This patch comes with no documentation , but the filename implies its a beta #1 patch for FF7. From the text in the included EULA i could at least guess what it is: it's an updated or improved video codec for people who have had trouble watching the in-game animations (which were either choppy, slow or anything else which might have been disturbing. Until i can find proof to my guess it won't be included in the general "database".
Version 1.02 adds a few game balancing changes and a lot of Battle.net and multiplayer fixes. Read the whole list. Blizzard will offer an executable autoupdater in a few days, but who needs it anyway...
Version 1.04 mainly addresses problems with DVD drives , a detailed list can be found here.
Just a quick note, but the archive now contains over1,700 patches changes august, 12thNo new patches will be added for a few days. You may have noticied it, Games Domain (which is together with cdrom.com my main mirror site) has had a lot of problems with correct mirroring of my site after the last reorganisation of our ftp server. I have send them new scripts and am awaiting the next mirror logs to see if they have improved or fixed the situation (from what i can tell, they are missing some 500-1000 files right now). I will also run a comparison script on thursday to check if the sites are back in sync again and add new files afterwards. There haven't been many new patches though, apart from High Heat Baseball 1.4 and some new Spec Ops patches. There are still some patches forthcoming, like Starcraft 1.02, Diablo 1.06 (and more) but i also would like to see Industry Giant 1.1 or Rebellion 1.02 (these two certainly could need some patches). Until then check Gone Gold, Rich got reports on all the new patches for this week - earlier than 3dfxmania & Avault, for those who care about such things and i will help him update his page with new patches news in the time additions here are on hold.changes august, 10th
This is basically a Voodoo2 upgrade for the game.
Just uncompress and run this patch in your installation directory. It should allow you to run the game flawlessly under Win95.
See Simon the Sorcerer 1 :)
If your game fails to install under Windows98, use this patch. This is only for the Replay edition of the game (re-release with addon CD) changes august, 8thThis means: for non-US/UK, non-german, non-french releases of this game.
Fixes since initial release: - added caltrops indication to terrain display line - fixed victory screen indicator - fixed unit resupply - fixed route movement error - fixed saved game surrender poin
Fixes since initial release:
- Adds the ability to copy and automatically scale a symbol from zoom
level 3 to zoom level 2 or zoom level 2 to zoom level 1.
Too many changes to list, just read them in detail here changes august, 6thNote: all Kick Off 98 patches require DirectX 5 installed on your system. (Understandably there is no information of DirectX 6 will work as well)
Works for Longbow Gold only and supports Voodoo, Voodoo Rush & Voodoo 2
Fixes some minor bugs, adds a filter for "harsh language" (since when are kids playing LB2?!) and allows to play the game on Janes combat.net
For a detailed list of fixes, please select this link.
This patch is a replacement mprofile.exe which should prevent the game from crashing on systems with ATI graphic cards. changes august, 4th
This beta patch has also been nicknamed version 1.24. For an overview of fixes since version 1.2, check the readme.
This patch fixes mostly incompatibilities with Riva cards, but still has some glitches left. According to the readme there is another patch forthcoming. Don't apply this patch if you have already applied the Cyrix patch. If you applied it, you'll have to uninstall, then install version 1.01 update and afterwards install Cyrix patch. (Note: Does anybody know where i can find this Cyrix patch? I run an AMD myself at home and therefore might need the patch too when i buy FF7.)
This patch is only interesting for people who run CTF servers, if you only connect as a client, you don't need this update.
Where are certain incompatibilities with non-Intel chips like AMD,Cyrix,etc. when you apply patch 3.1 to Total Annilation. If you run on one of these chips and applied version 3.1 already, download this patch. Thanks to www.annihilated.com for providing such patches which most patches sites seem to ignore even when they are official. changes august, 2ndNew demo added!. This time it's Motoracer II (40MB)

This patch fixes problems with Voodoo2 cards and adds NT4 support (YAY!). For a few more details, read here.
changes july, 8thA note to those who are upset about the sloppy updating of my US page: I am sorry that updating this page is going so slow, but there are several factors which prevent me from doing it fast and more importantly, automatically.a) i have to wait for my mirror sites to report a successful mirroring before i am going to update that page too b) we are currently reorganizing the site and i had some problems with adapting my mirror scripts for this situation. I hope this will be solved any day now.

The next two patches i am not sure about. I found them on Microfolies' website without any information whatsoever. I dont speak french at all, but after someone on irc helped me out with a little translation i have a vague guess what they are. Since i have no confirmation i will leave them outside the main database yet and will only list them here.

Version 1.22 mostly holds cosmetic changes to gameplay in single player and network play. For a full list (both for 2D cards and 3DFX), read here
This is an unofficial patch by some Formula 1 fan. Read here on how to install it. If you receive strange Javascript errors when connecting to me through dlh.net/patches/, simply ignore them. They are caused by my webcounters which block this kind of "cheating" for hits. I will look for a way around this. Updates to the US mirror are on hold until i could resolve this and fix some last glitches i found while checking my site. changes june, 16thNew E-Mail address: [email protected]From now on e-mail me at this address with enquiries about game patches or in case you have problems downloading the latest DLH from our ftp site. Oh, you didn't know what DLH is? Here is a quote from DLH's FAQ: The DIRTY LITTLE HELPER (DLH) is a collection of cheats for PC games - it contains notes how a game might be modified directly (by entering a secret code) or indirectly (by editing program files). Additionally we include solutions, editors and trainers for games.I'll have their banner up on the frontpage and if requested will announce new versions here, but in the meantime just visit dlh.net. If someone could be so nice and test if dlh.net/patches leads him to my site. It is appreciated. It works fine for me but i got an email that it reports some strange Javascript error.
This patch works for Dark Reign addon users as well.

This problem has been fixed. changes june, 11thProbleme, die mit dem Update behoben werden: Vereinzelt aufgetretener Runtime Error wurde beseitigt.

changes june, 8thJust for the record, but my PC section passed 1,600 patches today which consume about 1.85GB diskspace - compressed, of course...
changes june, 4thI'm back from a quick vacation at my familys place. Lying in the sun, getting a tan and being fed by a loving mother certainly has its advantages sometimes. :)As i noticied while checking my overflowing emailbox after one week of absence i noticied that i went down to #48 on Internet Homepages Top 100 . This might be related to the fact that more and more commercial sites keep being added to Top Homepages list instead of Top Website but maybe also due to the fact that i had Quake II 3.15 not listed on my site in time... ;)

This is an unofficial hack to help people which were having problems installing the 3DFX patch.
This patch also adds a few more missions to the game and seems to be playable standalone.
changes may, 16thThis patch will most of all cure problems for owners of Voodoo2 based boards and has no gameplay improvements i am aware of. Note that for multiplayer all users need to have the same version of the game.
changes may, 15thSince i have a few GB of space to burn and there are not many patches to report today - and i'm a big fan of Battletech/X-COM/Super-NES RPG's - i thought i'd give you a bonus today for visiting my site. Below you'll find links to X-COM Interceptor, Final Fantasy 7 and MechCommander playable demos. Enjoy it, while i continue to play Might & Magic. :)
changes may, 14thMy US mirror at cdrom.com will be relocated over the next few days (most likely this weekend) to http://www.cdrom.com/pub/dresden/public_html/ . There will probably some other changes to give credit to cdrom.com for hosting me and other things.
This is a hotfix this means there may be other bugs hidden in the game. You will need version 6.01 installed for this hotfix to work. changes may, 13thA note about the patches for Amiga games. Since the Amiga was at its peak time a diskette based system, updates were not simply zipped up replacement files but because of copyprotection on diskettes and several other reasons usually sent out in form of replacement diskettes. To make them available to nowadays "download community" people created diskimaging programms. The most common one for Amiga (well, which i can remember) is Diskmasher or short DMS. To rebuild diskettes out of .dms files you'll need a copy of DMS which you can get from Aminet or any of its mirrors.
This patch makes the game more easier but making the weapons more deadly, boni are more important now, copyprotection has been lessened and a few other gameplay tunings have been made.
This patch is for the game brought out by Hasbro - the makers of the board original.
This patch should now allow you to actually save during the game.
Note that this patch is neither for Ultim@te Race nor Ultim@te Race PRO but for a special release of UR (my guess: a demo). changes may, 8thNot much to add today except for rumours on new patches for Hardball 6, Fifa98 (Voodoo2 support?), Triple Play 99 and tons of other sport games. We will know more by weeks end. In the meantime i'll continue adding older patches which were still missing here.
No information is available, since Microids website always kicks me out with messages like "Sorry, but our site is overcrowded." Not very good promotion if you get this message at 4AM...
changes may, 7th
Allows you to play the game in english instead of german.
For english releases only, now comes with installer.
This patch adds Voodoo2 support, among other things.
This is an experimental patch, which should fix mouse problems and adds a keyboard setup.

I know the Amiga section needs work, but i am only one person. In the meantime, try your local Aminet mirror.
This patch adds Direct3D support and fixes a few bugs in the game. WARNING! This patch seems to be for the japanese market originally, since all docs are in japanese.
Users of 2.0 beta 1 might have to reinstall since the patch should only work for any 1.x versions. This patch is both for Total Annilation and Total Annilation: Core Contingency. Users who do not own TA: CC yet will get four new units as a bonus when downloading this patch. APRIL '98changes april, 30th

changes april, 23rdcdrom.com is back on track. I'll start working on the mirror site in the next two days.
This patch only fixes some bugs which allowed players to cheat in multiplayer games.
changes april, 22ndPhew, the first script run is done, only todays and yesterdays new patches are missing on cdrom.com now. I hadn't thought there had been sooo many new patches during these past two months. :)If you like what i did so far with my site go and vote for me on Internet Homepages Top 100 .
This patch is only for the spanish, brazil-portuguesian & italian release of the game. The previous 1.0a patch was for english, german and french releases only. On the plus side: version 1.0b seems to be already in betatest. I hope they will finally fix the 50 unit bug.
Just place the extracted files in your DBTS directory and you should be able to select PowerVR next time you configure the game.
For US/UK (aka english) release only.
For french release only.
For german release only.
For italian release only.
For spanish release only. changes april, 21stWell, cdrom.com is doing some security & hardware fixes to their server, so my mirror script to get their mirror back on track broke several times over the weekend and still is not done. Since i have only a vague guess how long it will take, i'll update my homesite anyway. I was holding off to get both servers in sync, but - oh well...
This replacement EXE should prevent the game from crashing if you are using an AMD K6 system in combination with a 3D card. This is from talk i gathered on Usenet, i don't know if this is true or not.
Symptom: Starship Titanic installs without problems, but when running the program it quits back to the desktop almost immediately, sometimes displaying a warning dialog about DirectX drivers. Description: Some video cards, usually (but not only) those based on the 3dfx Voodoo Rush chipset will not run Starship Titanic due to a bug in the video initialisation routines. This patch corrects this problem with a small change. If you are experiencing the symptom described above, download and apply this patch to upgrade your version of Starship Titanic to version 1.00.42a.
This fix should allow you to install Starship Titanic on a Cyrix 6x86 based system. No guarantee is given for its predecessors.
changes april, 16thI'm in the process of updating my cdrom.com area again after eliminating the last few remaining quirks (hopefully) and should have it ready by weeks end.A big THANK YOU goes out today to the following people: Jessika Jansen from Ikarion Software for sending me Demonworld & Demonworld Bonus CD George Huof from New World Computing for sending me Heroes of Might & Magic II and Might & Magic VI Frans P. de Vries from Gamers.org for reporting sooooooooooooooooooo many new patches to me during the last few months Jukka O. Kauppinen from MikroBITTI for various helpings and being a nice chap in general The following ad has been added both as a thank-you to Ikarion and as a way to notify people that registering software can have some big advantages over just buying it - in some cases: (The following is only for german readers and therefore being kept in german...)
Ikarion Software verschickt an registrierte Kunden des Spiels "Demonworld" kostenlos eine Bonus-CD.
Und wer es nicht wusste, auch fuer Z von den Bitmap Brothers gibt es fuer registrierte Kunden eine Bonus-CD. Now back to listing new patches.
Note that this is not the same patch reported by some sites as Air Warrior III version 1.02 . They reported an upgraded version of the online game Air Warrior III while this is a patch for the standalone version as well.
There was a note on Carmageddon.com that their final patch wasn't from Stainless Steel nor SCi, but some unknown 3rd party. So just in case Stainless decides to do a final patch i've included this beta patch again.
Should work with Settlers / Serf City as well. Note that this is a inofficial hack and not supported by Blue Byte / SSI.
Well, the included readme says it is version 1.03 and site report it as a beta of version 1.1 . I will stick with the readme's description for now... changes april, 9thAs you may have noticied, i haven't updated my US mirror page for almost a month and neither my mirror site at cdrom.com This is because i'm still looking through my archives and reorganize them a bit before i will restart the US mirror again. I just need a safe backup in case i break something on my local drive. Don't worry, it'll be fixed soon.On not-so-related news Netscape 4.05 is a disappointment. I'm running it for a day now and it has already crashed twice, which is about the same stability i experienced with earlier versions...
brazilian owners need the brazilian update, not this one.
People who bought the game in south america should apply this patch, not the spanish patch.
changes april, 8thNetscape 4.05 is out . Go and download it at Netscape , maybe it's less buggy than 4.04Worms II 1.2 patches and other news will be added tomorrow. I just spent 5 days trying to get those patches and am not encouraged to add them tonight.
note: this patch is either a hack or a leaked version and not officially released by Sierra/Papyrus or Microsoft so use at your own risk
This patch is a replacement file and should only be used by players which experience crashes while playing the last level.
This version is for owners of previously released Mechwarrior II editions, not the Titanium Pack. You will only be able to join existing games, not host them.

adds support for 3D cards
MARCH '98changes march, 28thHey, it's my little sisters birthday so i'll be gone over the weekend to celebrate with the family. Too bad they don't like computers and gaming as much as i do...
For those who wondered what happened to v1.04 - it got renamed to 2.0 since it's such a major patch over v1.0 . There are further news about Spec Ops 1.3 which in fact is only for the demo version, so i won't include it, AirWarrior III 3.02 which is only for Kesmai's pay-online version of the game, so it too doesn't deserve to be here and finally Battlecruiser 3000Ad v1.05E for 3DFX which i am not allowed to host. I made links for each of these patches to hosts which provide them. The update for F1 Racing Simulation to 1.08 which i've got is from Operation 3DFX which doesn't offer the Direct3D patch as well. Strangely enough it wasn't even on Ubisoft's french site, so if you need 1.07 since 1.08 turns out to be an incompatible beta, i kept version 1.07 for Voodoo locally as well. changes march, 27thlate night updateOkay , here are the forgotten links (in order of appearance): This patch is for the game by Digital Integration not the one by Janes' Simulations.
...for cards like Matrox m3D
This is the long ago announced 3DFX patch and right now is in alpha-stadium.

morning update
changes march, 24thJust a quick update on which patches have been floating in so far, the real update to my database will have to wait a few more days:
changes march, 23rdPhew - my mirror script finally went through after i ran out of diskspace locally twice. I will have some changes in the next few days to the filestructure to free up some space since a partition on the drive can only hold 2GB and this one is almost full 100% . Also i found a new german/english counter at www.better-counter.com to which i have to adapt my pages yet. So stay tuned...changes march, 21stThe mirror is making slow but steady progress and i hope to have it finished by monday. I also won an award today and got nominated Setoff Site Of The Day Award, in the GAMES category, from http://www.setoff.com . Check out their site by clicking on the award picture below or just follow the link above if you have graphics display turned off in your browser.
 changes march, 18thThe addition of new patches is on hold until i have finished mirroring my archive on cdrom.com to my local drive. I may announce new patches here, but they won't be added to the database until i've synced both archives, which might take a couple of days more.changes march, 17thSince my own counter has been resetting itself countless times and i'm tired of fixing it manually i'm now using WebTracker as my official hitcounter. The other counters will remain on the link page since they give me much more detailed information about who visits my site and where they came from. In other news i'm right now busy mirroring back the site contents from Walnut Creek CDROM to our own local server. But don't expect much before end of the week...changes march, 15thIf you are unsure which patch you need for F-22 ADF , go to DID's homepage or go to their patch page and follow the instructions there.

Added to the fixes & improvements already in the english 1.2 patch this one finally enables you to play against non-german players on the internet.
only works for FULL installations. changes march, 13thWell, friends of mine got the whole Star Wars Saga in english plus a lot of Voyager episodes so the last few evenings were pretty much filled up with watching TV. No time to update this section of my "site" - sorry. The good news is that we're going to set-up the new drive on tuesday so i can work on getting the archive back locally. And now for something completely different...

update 10:25AM
The staff meeting is over and a new setup was discussed. We are going to
include the new drive soon now, the neccessary equipment was delivered. Just
let us hope that this drive doesn't turn out faulty like the first one i
had. With new diskspace available i'm willing to offer our server as a home
for usermade patches and scenarios - as long as i have the diskspace
available. E-mail me at [email protected]
changes march, 1stIt seems my copy of Armor Command 1.1 was broken for some reason. I replaced it with a copy directly from Ripcord Games.
FEBRUARY '98changes february, 28thFebruary goes out with a BANG. Activision set a new record with their free release of their Interstate 76 to Interstate 76 Gold upgrade. Depending on whether you need a 3D accelerated or normal version of this patch, you are going to download 80MB or 70MB - and it won't even work with Voodoo 2 (yet). Since it'll probably take me another 5 hours to upload all files to cdrom.com and i want to go to bed (it's already past 9 A.M. here...) i'll offer them on our local drive for now.
changes february, 26thThe drive is here - i'm holding it (literally) in my hands. We've still to discuss the new setup and if we can host anything else beside a german ftp mirror for Games Domain (don't bug them - i'll announce it here once it has been officially created). If anyone could get me in contact with a C-64, CPC, Spectrum or Atari XL site, it's very much appreaciated.
There was no documentation for this patch. Is there anybody who can provide a description?
This is some odd patch. I wonder why EA hasn't made it available for people who can't use their autoupdater because they are not playing it online? Thanks to Force One i was finally able to get it althought it has been out for quite some time. It contains a decent collection of files and news related to Force Feedback Joysticks, so check it out if you need some help with your FF. Here is what it fixes: - Addition: TCP network protocol. - Addition: Ability to play network games with a "peer to peer" packet transfer model. - Fix: Force Feedback chugging. - Fix: Videos by-passed when a fluttering or uncalibrated joystick was plugged in. Introduces the famous CTF team mode into Quake 2. Warning: You will loose ALL previous savegames if you upgrade to 3.12 or higher! There was a bug in 3.12 which would lead Quake 2 servers to crash , 3.13 should take care of that. Removes CD copy protection for Bard's Tale 1 - 3 which was accidently left in. changes february, 25thThe german site won't be online this week since our new harddrive hasn't arrived today (tuesday is maintenance day - the only day we could've included the drive).
fixes and additions in this patch: - adds Voodoo Rush support - failure to restore sound after race fixed - failure to replay last run fixed - Pro tips now come more frequent - crash in multiplayer fixed - crash after selecting combined event fixed - end of season lockup after coming in first place fixed - no more player cloning in hot seat - all-around should now work in hot seat changes february, 23rdThe biggest news today might be that the days of my exile from Dresden are almost over. The replacement drive was sent to me last week and should arrive today. If everything goes according to plan we'll have our german site back in operation by weeks end. Of course, after having to wait 6 months for Seagate to bother sending a replacement, i'm a bit skeptical after all...So if you see my US mirror in a new outfit, it means my drive is back in operation. Until then it stays in its old custome. I'm going to rebuild my links section in the near future and plan on adding a few more sites. If you have any sites you wish to be linked here, send me URL and a small logo in GIF/JPEG format. The emphasis should be on patches related sites, so anything from sites which offers game updates for download (e.g. Adrenaline Vault) to sites which host custom made patches (e.g. Tim Tschirner's NBA Live page) to sites like carmageddon.com (Hi Jon!) to hardware companies for 2D/3D cards, joysticks and maybe soundcards anything is possible. I plan on having about 50 links of which around 20 sites are already from my own bookmarks list (means : i'm using them regularly in my search for updates AFTER browsing game company sites), so get your suggestions in quickly to [email protected].
This patch adds support for Voodoo & Voodoo Rush (and will supposedly only work for the DOS version). It might even be usuable for a german/australian or any other crippled version, since it's basically a replacement of carmav.exe
There is mention about Windows 3.1 support in this patch as well as for Windows 95, but due to Sierra's naming scheme and since 1.02 also came in separate packs for 3.1 and 95, i believe a special patch for Windows 3.1 is forthcoming. changes february, 21stSorry for the mess yesterday. I shouldn't stay up until 6AM and try to edit pages at this time...

The programm will now give you the correct amount of money each time you restart a game of black jack. changes february, 14thI spent an afternoon playing around with Frontpage & Photoshop. It sometimes pays off when your university invests heavily in software. :)I hope you like the results of my work. It is far from ideal but it should make browsing the site a more pleasant thing. A final design will get rid of my current frames/no-frames mix with several art design put together - but this is still a way off. This patch only corrects the wages for a player up to GBP100,000 rather than up to GBP50,000 . A real patch is forthcoming, i was told. Allows you finally to save games. The french title for Panzer General II. The german title for Panzer General II, because Allied General was incorrectly sold as Panzer General II here... Now even UK players can benefit from the fixes and changes made in v1.15, german players don't need any update - so far. changes february, 7th
adds surround sound to those cards capable of this effect. fixed in this release:
- single player crash in some situations with Ship Design screen
- multiplayer crash after sending invalid trade package
- In-game Chat Windows (Ctrl+C) now remembers the last party or parties you sent a message to
- In-game Chat messages are now echoed to the sender as well as the intended recipients
- In domestic screen, when all explored planets are viewed (in addition to colonized planets),
it was possible to learn the approximate CP Subsidy value of an enemy planet by sorting with the
CP Subside value, enemy planets will be sorted along with the players planets. This is no longer
the case.
- added command line arguments for launching TCP/IP games. Commands are as follows:
paximperia.exe -client 127.0.0.1 (replace 127.0.0.1 with your IP when connecting to a server)
paximperia.exe -host (bypasses movies and selects Multi/TCP-IP/Host)
- command line switch to disable CD audio.
paximperia.exe -nocd
- CPU player ship designations would usually run off the left edge of the screen
- Fleets would sometimes carry out orders incorrectly after retreating from battle
- changed engagement range for auto attacks to use correct value for short range
- the game will no longer allow "super" races to be used in single or multiplayer games
fixes crashes on Cyrix prozessor based machines and a couple of game design quirks. users of a Voodoo Rush card should now get their card detected by SOS. Joke of the week: copy all of your Lands of Lore II files into one dir (subdirs preserved, of course)
of your choice on your harddrive, change to that dir once you are done and run the
programm like this: lol2.exe -lolcd . (the dot will tell the programm to check for files
in the current directory). Some programmers really have some big drives to play with... :)
changes january, 14thFixes in this patch: - fixes the crash bug in the player editor For more information, visit the developer's site. This 194-page manual comes in Acrobat .pdf format, so you need Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 or higher to read it. This renderer is optimized for Verite 1000 boards, but will work on V2x00 boards as well. Fixes in this patch: - fixes problems with transparent water - more bugfixes For more information, visit Rendition. changes january, 13thAs some of you might have noticied i've found a new webcounter to play which so far seems to offer everything I always wanted to see in a webcounter/tracker except for tracking every single page of a site. The only disadvantage seems to be that it runs a rather big JAVA script on my machine every time a user accesses my page, so i have to watch if this causes any degration in performance on our webserver. But otherwise eXTReMe digital is a very good tracker, though it lacks a rating of some kind.Found with help of The Free Site. fixes in this release: - improved AI - increased framerate - Game Controller null-zone - Pit lane auto-pilot - Gamma control for object brightness - rain tires cheat removed - friction levels on grass & sand - more precise control over graphics settings - steering ratio maximum increased in garage - default setups improved for beginners - wing-type error fixed for short ovals - sounds on replays fixed - more bugfixes - AI cars more competitive in intermediate & professional - new FAQ added This is a fixed version of the 1.1 update i had already online. Will prevent the game from crashing when run on a Cyrix processor (Pentium class). fixes in this release: - improved network play - computer cars now available in netplay (all players in a match need to apply this patch or otherwise the computer car's won't appear) - improved all round graphics cards support - added option to switch on/off Tiff's commentry during championship season - nVidia (RIVA) support improved changes january, 11thThe '1998 edition' of this upgrade. :) Another build, but still beta. This patch adds Direct3D support to the game and brings an updated AI. This patch adds 3D support for users with RIVA 128 cards (aka nVidia RIVA 128 chipset). Since version 1.03 only adds support for Mplayer and i've received supports that you are unable to update from 1.00 straight to 1.03, version 1.02 got readded. This Mini-GL driver for PowerVR cards is a work-in-progress and should allow you to play any game based on Quake I's engine to be played on a PowerVR based card (e.g. Matrox m3D, the Apocalypse cards, etc.) This patch is only useful if you own a Aureal Semiconductor A3D Audio card. changes january, 7thThe copy i added in late december disappeared somehow. Sorry for that... This patch adds COM3 & COM4 as choices for your modem location on your computer. changes january, 6thI fixed my US mirrorpage today. Seems the transistion wasn't as smoothly as expected and i forgot to copy some new files which linked everything together. My apologies to you.I'll be mostly gone for the next six weeks with updates usually occuring during weekends to prepare myself for my semi-diploma . See you in late february... Matthias Since it is an internal beta patch and still in development i decided not to include it in my archives yet. Go to the discussion board and follow the New 7K.exe: "Ship Settle" - Fixed! thread. The patch is about 600k in size and fixes a crashing bug for Cyrix processors plus fixes the "Ship settle" bug and maybe a few others which aren't documented yet. German users might use our ftp site, the patch is available at ftp://ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de/pub/incoming/ms-dos/games/patches/7k_4.zip Please use it only if your US link is very slow, the website put up by Gamestats certainly deserves support. Both versions let you upgrade from any previous one. This patch addresses the following issues: * 50 metre line is now white, not green * crash when a interchange was used during a game is fixed * new FMV sequence for Pre-Season competition * 'Kick out' rule fixed * corrected portraits of Tristan and Alistair Lynch from the Brisbane Lions * Final 8 competition works as it should changes january, 5thchanges january, 4th
This is an earlier release of the Direct3D upgrade for Interstate '76, but the only one i could find in french.
The pack also upgrades the game to version 1.14 (and of course fixes a few remaining bugs).
