Larian has received word from GOG that they're testing out the patch vigorously before releasing it and are playing through the entire game with it. Just so you know it's still alive and being worked on :)

Thank you for the update, waiting is the hardest part . . .=)

Oh wow. I had no idea a patch was so close to coming out.
I checked my save files and it looked like I stopped playing around November 25th. For the longest time I played with no problems I kept scratching my head at all the bug posts on teh forum. As I got further in the game, though, I started getting the ones people talked about, and some are related to the main quest and happen every time, so I had to stop. It made me sad :(
I got:
-Unable to click anything in the warriors guild
-Instant crash after talking to Josephina at the burial mound
-Crash after talking to the Wasp
-Assorted other crashes
Thanks so much to Deathknight and your pals at Larian! I'm glad you're fixing these. This is one of the best cRPGs I've played, and I can't wait to finish it.

Thanks for the update DeathKnight. Really good news.

Yesssssss.
Would you recommend starting a new game with the patch, or can a previous save file pick it right up? I haven't played in a while but the only bug I can remember (apart from generic CTDs) is that someone in the Dwarven Bread Inn is supposed to give you a teleporter scroll, but they never did. Then again it's been a long time so I might have gotten it to work.

Concerning the patch and old saves . . see DeathKnight's first post on page one of this thread.
The scroll at Dwarven Bread Inn . . . he doesn't give the scroll to you . . . he leaves and it is laying on the desk in the room where you first meet him . . . just pick it up and it's yours . . .=) . . . also you can get the same scroll in the mines as well. If you have both in your inventory, you have to drop one or you cannot activate the Imp portal.

yay!!!!!!!!!!
in a way i'm glad the patch took as long as it did, becuase by now i've forgotten most of the game and so i'm ready to play through it all over again!

I've been waiting on both this patch and the RP 1.3 Patch for fallout 2(not a an official patch). I keep hearing news about how they are on the way. Wonder which will get here sooner. My bets are on this patch.

good see the patch coming soon yahoooo

Maybe someone from GOG team could post some info how the test are going and if we'll receive patched DD sooner or later? ;)

I agree, it's about time.

definitely.
also, how will we know when the patch is available, other than checking here every day? thanks!

It's a shame we're still waiting. It's given me a chance to replay the Baldur's Gate series, however, which I am enjoying somewhat and has much more longevity than DD anyway.

Agreed. On all accounts.

I fifth the call for an update from GOG on the patch testing!
