I have no idea why SSI offers a 10MB patch on the official website while this one is only 1.5MB, but since this one is direct from Atomic Games' web, they must know what they did...
added Close Combat 4 international english version 4.01 1,225K

Clue Chronicles: Fatal
Illusion"light" patch #1 2,106K
The "light" patch only fixes game bugs, while the "full"
patch fixes additional art bugs as well.
added Delta Force 2 version 1.03.09 2,642K
This is merely a maintenance fix for the 1.03.09 patch
from a few days ago - it still retains the same version
number.

Age of Empires 2: Age of
Kingscomputer AI fix 162K
This should solve situations, where the computer player
would suddenly surrender a game without any substantial
reason (thus making it at least a bit tough to finish in
single player).
Fixes a problem with the game not finding the original CD when your drive letter is above H.
update: 15:46

I had to delete that german Grand Prix Legends version 1.2 patch as it too was beta.
Thank god Grand Prix Legends HQ still had the old file
since everybody else was linking to Papyrus (currently downed) website.
Get german version 1.1 or wait until
version 1.2 comes in about 1-2 weeks.
Well, as this patch doesn't list its required language, www.papy.com seems to be down and I never have read a company info where
the contact information was written down as "yada,yada" I guess this is still a beta. Use at your own risk, I will keep version 1.1(03) until this is settled.
Lots of fixes, mostly crashfixes related to problems with saved games and support for Voodoo SLI.

update 21:45
I apologize for the lack of updates for the last few days, but my server has been down quite
often for a couple of days now - nothing I can change. On a sidenote: the Darkstone patch
has been recalled, therefore I will delete it here as well since a working one is coming out soon.
Well, this one is a bit controversial: While Talonsoft says it's the US patch, Illusionsoftworks (the maker) doesn't make such specific. I am awaiting a responce from
them. Just for now let's assume you can use it to patch any release to 1.2
added Jagged Alliance II US version 1.05 5,229K
Gone Gold recommends uninstalling the game before applying the patch as you apparently need an unpatched (version 1.03)
installation before applying this one.
Note: update 1.0 upgraded the game to version 1.1 - confusing, eh?
The large patch from 1.0 straight to 1.2 seems to be broken, I am awaiting a fixed copy.
New in this patch:
All player stats updated to reflect their performance during the World Cup
AI batsmen should now 'read' bouncers better, and cosequently hit them more often/varied ways
Bouncers not working properly from one end of the field fixed
Ball scaling as it goes into the distance so it remains more visible on 4's and 6's.
Fixed bug that made it easy to bowl batsman out from one end with certain types of deliveries
Batsmen walk instead of running when changing sides for bowler.
Batsmen running between the wickets improved.
Slight slowdown that occurred in LBW situations has been fixed.
Patches in the pipeline:
Mechwarrior 1.1 german - scheduled for 05.08.99
next (nonbeta) Kingpin patch - probably end of this week. If you have no betafears - go to Kingpin Beta Testing and
download the current beta - version 1.14 right now.
This patch corrects the following problems:
(1) Maximum 3 player's increased to 8 when playing on Mplayer/Eidosgames
(2) Rare crash bug in garage when using D3D or 3DFX mode
(3) Improved AI

I have no idea what exactly differs this patch from version 1.01, only that it was done 1 day after version 1.01 came out.
Blame Eidos - it's nowhere else but on their UK site, none of the others seem to have it.

Thanks to Bernd's from DLH.NET efforts I have my own domain now. And since what
is a party without presents, we can offer some more benefits, if you go straight to www.patches-scrolls.com instead

Now you can search for patches for a particuliar game as well as see the top & hot downloads for each category - the latter
only working for the PC area, while we try to track down bugs. More features while Peter works on them...

If the patch's language isn't explicitly mentioned, it's usually english only. If you own a foreign version of the game, download
at your own risk.
If remember correctly, this was one part of the Ancient Art of... series from MPS - correct me if I am wrong.
It includes updated videoplayers for graphics cards, such as ATI Mach 64, Diamond Stealth 64, and Trident 9400.

Hello to the faithful - I am back. Sorry for the lack of updates for over 3 weeks, but sometimes
even netjunkies need holidays. Also major thank-you's go to Frans P. de Vries from Gamers.Org for pointing out
that I was a sloppy bastard and forgot to add a hell of a lot files here. :)
But now you owe me the equivalent of 5 litres coffee inside myself, Frans. Are you willing to accept a payback? *grin*
For the record:
110 new PC patches, 9 new Mac patches = some 570MB files

Magic & Magic version 1.1 at Mythos Games (under News)
This patch causes NHL'99 to always simulate all games with
20 minute periods. This means you can now play with 10 minute
periods and still have realistic scores with simulated
computer-versus-computer games.
If you have DirectX 6.0 installed and experience problems with Dead Reckoning, use the patch - otherwise do not.
added Heretic IIenhancement pack version 1.04 14,455K
My previous copy was broken, this one should be fine now.
added Medieval version 1.07 673K

- Saved games now save unit facing
added Quake II3Dnow! drivers for version 3.20 712K
added Requiem: Avenging Angel version 1.1 273K
added Trophy Buck version 1.0.0.6 1,989K
Well, the website says "version 1.01", the installer says "1.0.0.6" - Sierra should make up their mind.
I don't know what's new as I do not own the game.
This should help to rejoin games past level 5 when the game suddenly crashes and restarts. This was forwarded to me by Aztech (thanks, dude) as an interims
patch from Microprose for the german version, but I believe it should apply to other versions as well.
added beta of Starsiege Tribes update 1.3 to 1.3.12 1,553K
Thanks to Jukka from Mikrobitti for the news.
Apparently the Falcon 4.0 version 1.06 patch for the US version works for UK people too - also thanks
go here to Jukka for notifying me on that.
While looking why Westwood hadn't the 4-player patch for Red Alert yet online, I noticied that
my copy here is a beta. So expect a final patch any day soon since beta test has ended now according
to Westwood.
I guess yesterdays NBA Live 99 release wasn't multilingual after all. Thanks for the kind boys at TASSOFT's website for finding the files,
I couldn't locate them for the hell of it on EA's website.
Well, since the fixes/changes are too many and I am still not sure whether it is a multilingual or just-english patch, here is just the link
to the readme.
Note: if you wish the improvements to the "Grand Touring(TM)" software product to include 'plugging of the 'holes', (at the exit to the tunnel) at the Mountain Track' then you should use large 'patch' programme.
* Word List is no longer fixed in the program and can be changed manually.
* Problems with some kits appearing in German have been addressed.
* New World file allows learning computers to take advantage of the above.
This update also addresses earlier issues:
* Full screen mode now correctly updates the creature list. Some users who made
extensive use of full screen mode noticed that pressing TAB to cycle between
* Norns did not include creatures that had just hatched.
* Sex of naturally laid eggs is now calculated from Norns only. Because Ettins
and Grendels are male, this could fool the program into hatching an unusually
high number of female Norns - this is now fixed.

added SiN update 1.01/1.02 to 1.03 2,012K

* AMD 3DNOW support
* Creative EAX support
* A3D 2.0 support
* specific support for 2015's mission pack, "Wages of Sin"
* save game fix, which fixes crash in Area 57
* software crashes on Dam
* various bug fixes
* A multiplayer menu bug in Sin 1.02

added Akte Europagerman fixes as of 6th february 1998 419K
The previous patch I had online seemed to be older, this one is straight from Eidos german support server. No information as to what it fixes, though.
added Delta Force revision C 1,452K
Novalogic so far doesn't admit there is a newer patch than rev. B out and their ftp site had only 2 files, which both seem to be able to patch up your game, but since one of them kept in line
with their naming scheme, i choose that one. If anyone can find out what the second patch, let me know
at [email protected] . Oh, and this is not intended for the german version!
A beta for Heavy Gear to upgrade it to version 1.2 is out, which brings with it:
New Features
New textures have been added for the 3D hardware version.
The particle system has been enhanced for all 3D hardware modes.
New lighting has been added for weapon firing and contrails.
The clipping plane has been pushed out for added visibility.
Particles on footsteps have been added.
Added additional features for Voodoo 2 users.
Fixes
In mission 6 of storied version of Heavy Gear, the truck is no longer stuck in midair.
When your Gear is legged, the game no longer crashes.
Riva 128 Flicker problems in D3D mode (see below troubleshooting section).
There is now a Heavy Gear option when playing on MPlayer.
Joystick (especially Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro) works.
Screenshots now work on any 3Dfx card.
Problems with passworded network games are fixed.
Low-light crash fixed.
Plus much much more!
Since I am not allowed to host this patch on my own, visit this Heavy Gear beta site to get the file.
Furthermore the patch for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri to version 2.0 gets "upgraded" to final status, since I could find no
evidence why Avault added it as a beta - neither EA nor Firaxis do that.
If you own the european release called Indepence War", you will need the 3DFX patch as well before applying this one (if you want to enjoy it 3D enhanced, if not, ignore it). Version 1.24 only fixes a crash problem with GLIDE 2.54
People who bought the european version of the game do not need this update as they are already owning version 1.04
One nifty tool I found while searching Wizardsworks site: Turbo, a little tool for Win95 & NT, which slowes

added Battle Cruiser 3000 AD update 2.04 to 2.04b 870K
Adds EAX 3D sound support, support for Joystickplay and fixes a few minor quirks in the game, as well as a rare
crash occasion when throwing a flash bomb. The details are here as well as cheats
Now works for any localized version of the game. Fixes incompatibilities with Cyrix processors and allows the player to configure his controls.

Finally got around and updated my Links page - a few
links got dropped, a few (not all i wanted) got added and overall its a list
of my most frequented sites - not just gaming ones.
Furthermore i also joined 3ts today,
since they provide me with counters for 10 webpages for free, so I can
finally find out how used are the sections i put up without paying enormous
fees.
Another e-mail with no reply address. I guess I will finally have to add
a message board. Does anyone know of any good free message board script?
(preferably in Perl)
Now please read the e-mail below and find my answer:
(mail)
I have my Sim Farm copy in C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimFarm.
I put this in at the install patch area where it says to put the drive
directory. I put that path and it does not work. It says it is not
found.
I have tried many combinations and still can not get it to work.
(answer)
Sim Farm is an old DOS based game and can't handle directory names with
spaces in it. Copy the contents of your C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimFarm to
another temporary directory , and run the patch there. It should do fine
now. Afterwards copy the patches contents back into your
C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimFarm directory .
Furthermore i left Websidestory and signed up with www.Sitemeter.com
because the "return value" for any link in Websidestory outside the top 100
is almost zero and while the new counter outfit is nice, it is slow and
sluggish and furthermore - hasn't worked for me for over a week now.

update 20:54
I just received a note that my Need For Speed 3 patch will not work on the italian version of the game - maybe it is really for the US version only, as
I had feared. So try the new autopatcher for NFS3 (which suddenly seems the big news on all the sites 2 weeks
after it came out) and save the patch files for me, if possible (or if they exists at all, my german
version never updated).
For those already owning version 1.05, this patch fixes also:
Fix List:-
When arrested gang members are released, they are now replaced in their teams correctly.
Buying certain types of buildings could cause crashes under rare circumstances
Added:-
The tagged characters box now has tooltips and help on the Gang Members and Orders buttons.
Right clicking in a tagged window will now bring up a box showing the character's attributes. Right click again to remove the box.
The message box now has buttons allowing you to filter messages about the different gangs, the police and the FBI.
An in week flee button has been included. This button instructs the selected hoods to run away from their current position. The hoods will run for away for a few blocks before stopping and attempting to carry out their orders again.
A button has been included that will allow you to recruit all the available hoods and move them directly into the pool.
If the police join in a gun fight between your hoods and those of another gang, your hoods are now less likely to stand and fight with the police once the opposing gang members are dead.
If your hoods are attacked, they now check the number of all opponents in the area before deciding whether to fight or flee.
Successful police investigations are now more dependent on witnesses to the crime.
The police now arrest from a shorter distance.
A shield now gets prefixed to any hood's name if known, if he is flagged as being wanted by the police or FBI.
Hoods are now released from the HQ at a greater rate.
No of CD tracks check removed.
Other minor fixes and enhancements.

added Age of Empires italian/portuguese/spanish version 1.0b 807K
added Need for Speed III version 1.02 4,027K
As I had guessed the previous NFS3 patch I had "on-board" was their autoupdater which would then connect to EA's site and download the patch files. Someone was nice enough
to turn the resulting RTPatch files over to me so I could offer them here since in reality you don't need the autoupdater, but just a location to get the patch files from
which can - as far as i can tell - be applied to any US version of the game, maybe european ones as well, but not confirmed yet. You may still need the Banshee fix, or maybe
not.
This patch requires that you installed the files from East Front's Campaign addon CD 1 as well, or it won't work. A separate patch
for East Front alone is forthcoming.
2015 Crash
Team selection crash using swap with empty team
New player generation for foreign and minor teams
New player generation improvement for county teams
Occasional swap button failure in team selection
Occasional crash changing batting order
I have no idea why Empire keeps BOTH 1.35 & 1.41, but since the website only mentions 1.35 and since 1.41 is soo much smaller than 1.35 i will keep it
in case it's an incremental update for 1.35 . Anyhow, here is what 1.41 fixes:
Occasional swap button failure in team selection
2015 crash
Occasional NatWest crash after 2007
Occasional crash changing batting order
Lots of fixes since version 1.0, details to follow:
Software (i.e. non-3Dfx) rendering improvements
Much better frame rate with Direct3D software driver
Palette special effects
Wireframe transparency on objects
Fixed mouse cursor and mission briefing display bugs in software
rendering install.
Now accepts other-than-3Dfx accelerated boards with a Direct3D HAL
driver (requires HAL support for 16-bit rgb565 texture format and 2MB of
texture memory)
Fixed up animated textures problem
Fixed up installation problem with some Cyrix CPUs
Added text messages on option keys F1 to F11
Other minor fixes
added Total Air Wargerman version 1.1 for Direct3D 1,458K
added Total Air Wargerman version 1.1 for Glide 1,458K

added Madden NFL 99 version 2.07 4,196K
The files inside seem to be no different from the previous beta, but one can never know.
added Need for Speed III patch #3 1,825K
I am not 100% sure, but this seems to be some kind of autoupdater (and did not work on my german NFS3). The EA site makes no mention
of the patch and its both brand new on their ftp and has a different filename than their autoupdater. So be careful.
On a related note: While looking for documentation on the patch I found another autoupdater on EA's site, this time
for Tiger Woods Golf 99 to version 1.4 . It adds support for Voodoo Banshee, Matrox G200 and lots more.
Use your Tiger Woods autoupdater to get this recent version. After i just spent 1 hour trying to get
that supposed 1.9MB updater for NFS3, i must say - in all honesty - that autoupdaters suck for people
who have to worry about their onlime time and have to live with crappy slow company servers providing
the update files with no other faster site to get them from.
changes january, 20th
update 23:20
added Railroad Tycoon II version 1.04 683K
Version 1.04 only fixes a few remaining crash problems, but nothing on gameplay. Unlike previous versions this
patch can be applied to any version of the game, no matter which country nor revision.
Version 1.1 forces the game to finally acknowledge it is already installed on your system, brings MS Force Feedback support and fixes the problem that under
certain circumstances multiplayers would play the same game on different maps.
- Game does not load DirectX. (Error 2)
- Lose by disqualification when match clock runs out before the
count out clock.
- Wrestler feet sink into the floor.
- Players doing the Harlem Flip will flip their opponent outside the
ring into the crowd or through the ring.
- Health bars will not turn red.
- Match starts before the bell rings.
- Sound of wrestler hitting the floor outside ring is wrong.
- Cannot play a network game with an accelerated machine and an
unaccelerated machine.
- Moves from the top rope do not cause damage when hitting an
opponent on the mat.
- Hogan's knee bash is corrupted.

I knew there was a patch for FB99 coming today from Sierra, but have they changed names or is their FPS series dead? Anyway, read about the fixes.
Appart from adding for Force Feedback controllers and fixing problems with ATI's Rage II based card, this patch also fixed a few in-game problems. Here is the full scoop.
I may be wrong, but isn't Johnny Herberts... another name for the same game?

added Half Life german version 1.0.0.8 2,422K

Some corrections to my additions a few days ago:
