Installation of the availabe Patch_Megarace3.exe (e.g. http://www.fileplanet.com/82164/80000/fileinfo/MegaRace-3-Patch) was unsuccessful (at least on my Win98SE, WinXP & Win7 systems), possibly due to InstallShield issues. The following archive contains the updated files:

https://rapidshare.com/files/1069378521/MegaRace_3_Patch__1.zip

Extract it in the main game folder, preserving pathnames and replacing existing files.

No changelog was made available for this patch. One difference I found is that it can now correctly set the 1920x1080 resolution.

I hope that the GOG.com team will incorporate this patch in the game installer ...

Isn't GOG's version the latest version?

I don't think so. The files are different. Also, at least one issue (resolution 1920x1080) is resolved with the patch.

I wish GOG.com team would patch all the games to the latest version available and post this formation in EVERY game's description page.

BTW, some recommendations to make the GOG experience better (I hope someone from the GOG team reads this ...):
- include in every DOS-based game the new scaler selector, as introduced in Dragonsphere (nice work!).
- include both DOS & Windows versions of games (e.g. Earth 2140, Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh)
- provide always a game manual (e.g. The Manhole: Masterpiece Edition, realMyst)
- if no legal issues are involved, incorporate user-made patches/improvements (e.g. Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh WinXP/Vista patch: http://www.squirtthecat.com/games/phantasmagoria_2/index.html)
- add installer Win9X support for owners of legacy hardware/OSes (I would like to run Descent w/ 3Dfx patch on my Win98SE/Voodoo2SLI rig).

The link's a 404, anyone care to reupload? Please?

Here is a fresh link:

Thank you! I'll do my best to keep it around - if anyone from The Future™ is reading this and needs/can't find this, try PMing me!

All links dead now. Does anyone still have a copy of it lying around they could re-upload?

I am so, so sorry for taking so long to notice this - haven't really visited gog much since the modern indie games started taking it over :P

Anyway, just uploaded it to http://www.sendspace.com/file/h3z7u7

No problem, thanks for the new link. :)

All links dead now once again. Does anyone still have a copy of it lying around they could re-upload? :)

Edit: Actually could select 2160p without modifying the game files as of 2023.
