I've not played games with Grayface's patch, but as I understand it, Mok's patch just enables you to play the vanilla game smoothly, whereas Grayface's changes the game in a few places –I don't know where. Mok's patch was, however, originally designed to enable the games to be played with WinXP as the operating system, so you might need to fiddle with the compatibility settings as well. Try it and see, and if it doesn't work then get back to us. Good luck!

Grayface's patch fixes a few broken mechanics ... - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 16:34:09 ) link +3 By the way, maybe those patches will be already present in the GoG version. - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 16:39:38 ) +1 Thanks for the replies - Hobbun ( Thu 02-Jun-16 17:35:39 ) +2 Sorry, I don't. - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 19:49:17 ) +1 (OK, so the XP details are probably shown in the unpatched game as well, but the recovery times and the F2 key will still decide it.) (n/t) - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 19:52:49 ) (And/or just hit the key "F2" while inside the game. If everything starts to go at double speed, then Grayface patch is installed. If not, then it isn't.) (n/t) - Ramillies ( Thu 02-Jun-16 19:50:22 ) +1 I actually went ahead and installed Grayface's patch. - Hobbun ( Thu 02-Jun-16 20:23:53 ) +2 Yep, double-checked and it's installed - Hobbun ( Thu 02-Jun-16 20:28:57 ) Of course, that was a good way to go as well. (n/t) - Ramillies ( Fri 03-Jun-16 03:57:54 ) And it fixes some problems in the game as well, - Ramillies ( Fri 03-Jun-16 05:27:06 ) File corruption problem? - Hobbun ( Fri 03-Jun-16 14:02:46 ) +1 I think so. - Ramillies ( Sun 05-Jun-16 08:46:46 )
