Since most of 'Dexers are much less competent than they think when it comes to making old PC games playable, I decided to share my extensive (lolnotsomuch) database of Unofficial Patches.
What's the deal?

The list below contains files made without an official support from publishers / developers, created to assure compatibility with newer software / hardware or iron out some bugs, still left after official patches.
So: Drog's Arcanum Patch is OK (mostly bugfixes), but 9999 mods for Oblivion (making it "playable") are not OK (who gives a fuck - unistall.exe fixes all problems). These rules are not set in stone, of course - in some cases fan updates contain both clear fixes and some gameplay modifications (for example KeeperFX includes both engine fixes and fan-made missions - enjoy leeching ~500 MB file with each update...) :roll:

If you know any more, lemme know.

Game works fine under Win7 x64 but the installer is broken. Use this one instead.
It only works for the 1.1 release of the game, not the original one.
Once installed on your hard disk, create a shortcut for WHSHR.EXE and set the compatibility options to 256 colours and 640x480. You may want to set compatibility to Windows 95 but the game runs fine for me without it.
For x64 users: you need to start SOTHR_Install.bat through a 32-bit elevated command prompt, not the default 64-bit one. Right-click on C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator", then run the batch file from it.

The game still doesn't work properly for me (unable to continue past the initial dialogue with the inn-keeper) - you have to slow down the CPU with special software (CPU Grabber, Cpukiller3)

I'm on Windows 7 and I awoke to the pain of a new existence, in a dank womb of darkness and decay just five minutes ago. It's pretty simple:
  1. get a CD image (TPB's one will do)
  2. download installer (info)
  3. download patch (info, look for the bink section)
  4. install the game using the installer from 2
  5. apply patch
In my case I also had to disable the dedicated graphics card.

There are unofficial patches for both Gothic 1 and 2 on the World of Gothic website. They're supposed to fix some bugs, but I haven't tested them myself.

There are also unofficial patches for Might & Magic 6, 7 and 8, mostly to clear up the biggest bugs and compatibility for systems post-XP.

I'm supposed to remember many more, but this is all I could come up with right now.

damn, good list. I love unofficial patches if they add really good content that the devs hadn't thought of. VTM: Bloodlines had some great unofficial patches.

There is one patch for Wizards&Warriors named "ww11beta.exe" and it make the game playable for me and one other codexer.
I found it on some potato forum, patch creator's name is _mok_
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ucey6ce2wdfoqod/WW11beta.exe

And trust me, this game is technical abomination (like city background in AVI, srsly) and attempts to make it work are worth the effort.

Blue Sun Mod is nice, wanted to play it in vanilia state but it contain bunch of fixes (and I know that games on that engines are infested with bugs) but instalator for BSM 2.0 is borked (fixed by google-fu, downloading from some suspicious file site and DL with power of 56kbps modem), wonder if 2.1 finally work.

EDIT: I pressume that some projects like Arx Libertatis (for Arx Fatalis) or patches for Thief 1/2 based on new Dark Engine 2.0 may not count? They were really helpful for my first playthrought.
Not to mention System Shock Portable (SSP) which is like Arx Libertatis - total convertion of the game that turn it to somewthing playable, with more options etc.

TBH by "sharing my extensive database" I meant running a HDD search for "unoffic". Which led to me skipping stuff like Desu Ex renderers, Thief multipatchers and Arx Libertatis. :oops:
Thank god for my readers.

Serpent in the Staglands Divinity: Original Sin
Wizardry 8

The game works fine under Win7 x64 but DirectX renderers can cause some trouble, like mouse sensitivity problems. The OpenGL renderer works fine but shows some lines to appear across the menus and UI. This is due to a texture clamping bug that is solved in this version. Replace srDD_OpenGL.dll in the dll folder of the game with the new one.

Got this patch from a Russian site dedicated to the old games (how lucky I am to understand commie shit). It fixes the crash in the beginning of the game for some people. If the game doesn't crash, you can try to install it just in case.
Still, I doubt any of you guys are going to play this game or finish it, even I rarely play it due to the amount of butthurt it causes every time I try to beat it.
Anyhoo, I mirrored it, get it right here, you piece of shit.
