Kernog95: Hello.
Sorry to resurrect this topic, but I am trying to install this patch (as well as wiz8fast).
When I launch the game, it asks me to login as an administrator. If I check that box in the Compatibility tab of the exe file, the game either does not launch, or crashes instantly. Wiz8fast works without any issue.
Did someone manage to make this patch work with the GoG version of this game, and if so how ?
Edit:
I ended up downloading the wrong patch from zimlab.com
You must not take the wizpatch2001_12_23_release patch, but the wiz8-v126-eng patch.
I'm putting it here instead of deleting my post, in case someone comes with the same issue.
If the game runs with the 1.24 exe, which is afaik what GOG provides,
the 1.26 exe also should run ootb under the same conditions,
i.e. user rights and compatibility mode, in case check if these are equal.
If the game instantly crashes under 1.24 and 1.26,
i would suspect an incompatibility of the .bik videos with your system,
in case rename the folder [wizInstalldir]\data\flics to smth different, or move the files to a different folder.

p.s.
good to see you got it running;)
