Hey all. I just downloaded this game from the 80% off sale and I'm curious about the patch. When I tried to run it, it said that the installed version of the game is incompatible with the patch.

Does the game file currently selling on the gog marketplace come pre-patched, hence the incompatibility for me? (i.e. if I just bought the game now is it already patched)

What exactly is the patch for...and for future reference, is there somewhere on gog where you can find the info for your respective patches? I didn't see any readme's to shed light on what the patch is for.

I just installed the game myself, then immediately installed the patch. I had no problem with it installing. Maybe uninstall, reinstall?
I just bought and downloaded

setup_sam_and_max_s1_1.0.0.22.exe
patch_gogsamandmaxseason1_1.0.1.23.exe (has a higher version number)

and got a warning that the patch would be incompatible with some savegames made by the unpatched release, but I was able to click past that.

As for what the patch does... Maybe it's the http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-292 patch, but that source gives no version numbers to confirm it with. EDIT: https://secure.gog.com/forum/sam_and_max_series/possible_reality_20_glitch_spoilers/post17 suggests bug fixes and a control change. Those posts' dates suggest that this is a more recent patch than the one detailed in the first link of this paragraph.

It's weird the patched chapters seem to use an older version of the engine, while the unpatched ones seem to use the Devil's Playground version (based on the loading screen).
So apparently no one had an answer to this as of December last year... well, maybe now someone knows more. I've bought the game a few days ago and was now trying to run the patch.
Same as VanishedOne, I got a message that a savegame from Chapter 5 would be deleted. Since I haven't touched the game yet, I said fine, delete the savegame.

Aaand then when the patch was done it also said "Installed version is not compatible with the patch".

Anyone knows what's wrong?

I think the new installer is now prepatched. You only need the patch for the old installer which has been removed.
