I've patched it, I've downloaded the game files onto my computer to bypass loading the game from the CD onto my hard-drive (which caused it to crash). The game crashes whenever I leave the menu to return to game. But, that's not a huge deal as I can just save and reload it to the same point.

I was able to play through the Land of Daventry and Castle Daventry no problem. I ran into one little bug, where the sound would stop working and any time I'd converse with a character, the game's loading icon would hang and the game world would freeze. But no problem, I can just save and reload and that fixes it.

The bug seems like it's guaranteed to occur when I load in a new world. No big deal, when I entered Castle Daventry I just saved and reloaded the game. Fixed the issue.

Now the problem is, the bug occurs when I enter the Dimension of Death and I am IMMEDIATELY put into a cutscene. The no-sound bug occurs and the cutscene won't end.

Super, super frustrating to have to go through all this just to play a 2 decade+ old game.
