Temple Of Elemental Evil Patches
Wadeyboy
a local computer gaming store and I really like it. Problem is, it has
loads of bugs which spoil it. I downloaded the patches which are
supposed to fix it and also a user made patch. However, when I patch
it, the game no longer loads up. The screen goes black for a second
and I'm dumped back to the desktop. Does anybody have any idea why
this is and if there is a way to get round this problem?
I'm running it on Windows XP with Direct X 9c and my system is an
Athlon 64 3500 with 1 gig RAM, Nvidia 6600 GT video card and
Soundblaster Live soundcard.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks very much.

On the readme for the user made patch it says you have to have
installed the 3rd
oficial patch before you install the user made one. I've tried all 3
official patches
and the game won't load after I've patched them. At the moment, I'm
having to
play the game 'unpatched' as that is the only way it will run on my
system! This
means you can't loot the bodies of the enemies you kill. You have to
come back
for their loot once the bodies have disappeared. So you have to avoid
the random
encounters in the wilderness because you can't come back to these
areas to
collect the loot. This is the most serious bug I've come across so
far. I hope there
won't be anymore.
It's a shame because I find this game seriously addictive. The combat
system is
the best I've played in an RPG!

Try loading just the first two official patches. I think I remember
something about the third one being bad.

Yes I think that's right- see:

THE OFFICIAL ATARI PATCHES
Atari's ToEE patch 2 includes all the fixes from patch 1; therefore
installing patch 1 is usually not required. However, there have been reports
from people who could not install patch 2 without installing patch 1 first.
If you experience the same problem, install patch 1, then patch 2. Patch 1
is available here:
ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/patches/toe...PATCH1_ENU.EXE
Before installing any of the mods, you MUST install Atari's official ToEE
patch 2, available here:
ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/patches/toe...ANY-PATCH2.EXE
You SHOULD NOT install Atari's patch 3. If you have installed patch 3
already and want to get rid of it, just install patch 2 on top of it.
==================================================
THE CIRCLE OF EIGHT MODPACK
After applying the official patch(es), download and install the latest Co8
release:

Odd, my copy said DONT install the third patch, just the first two.

Thanks for taking the trouble to respond to my posting with your help
guys. Much appreciated. Unfortunately, the Circle Of Eight patch says
in it's notes that
your save games will no longer work. I've put 40-50 hours into the
game. I couldn't start all over again. Maybe if I ever replay it with
a different allignment then
I'll use the patch. I wish game developers in general would make their
patches compatible with your save games. This has annoyed me in the
past with patches
for various games. Who wants to restart from scratch, having to do the
same things all over again? Especially when you've already put hour
upon hour into the game. I'm not having a go at the people who put the
Circle Of Eight mod patch together. I know the modders don't have the
same resources available to them that the development teams do and I
think the modders do more than enough making their labours available
for free, but I wish developers in general would take your existing
save games into account.
Anyway guys,enough of the rant. Thanks again for all your help.

I did! I must have played the Ironman mode a hundred times.
The initial low-level questing was tedious, but after that it's almost
non-stop encounters. Planning, prepping and fighting those was fun in a
Hack sort of way.
If the fan or official patches had fixed the most heinous
crash/corruption bugs I'd probably still play ToEE. Nothing similar has
come along since in terms of major commercial releases.
