I'm currently playing through Wing Commander Privateer 2: The Darkening. I installed the GOG version using the GOG offline installer, and on top applied the "DOS to Windows Patch" and the "Privateer 2 Enhancement patch"
Unfortunately I've stumbled upon what I think is the Angus Santana game breaking bug.
The bug comes into play when doing the Hal Taffin mission. If you make the choice to pay Taffin, you will not be able to later find Angus Santana on Anhur. This makes it impossible to further progress in the game and you are thus forced to load an earlier save game from before making choice to pay Taffin. If you don't have an earlier save game, you are out of luck and will have to restart the entire game. Of course, I didn't have an earlier save game and am now unable to find Angus Santana after paying Taffin...
The bug is apparently only present in the original DOS version and you can apply the Privateer 2 17.0e (Buffalo Wings) patch which will fix the bug.
Now here are my questions:
1. The 17.0e patch should already be applied to the GOG release. But if this is the case, why am I experiencing the bug?
2. Are there any other huge game breaking bugs I should be aware of?
NOTE: I posted this in the WCnews forum too, but since it hasn't been approved yet and activity seems low, i'm posting here too.
