- Patch 1.03 is available to update the game and remove Tages DRM.
Unofficial patch
This fan-made patch (downloadable from Patches-Scrolls or ModDB) focuses on improving the English localisation and restoring text that was not translated from German in the original game. However it also fixes bugs and oversights relating to achievements and quests, in addition to offering a number of optional tweaks to gameplay, which means it may still be of interest to those not playing in English.
