Issues fixed
BSoD on modern Windows (Retail)
- Attempting to run the original Scratches or Scratches: Director's Cut on Windows Vista or above will cause Windows to crash to a blue screen.
- This issue is caused by how modern Windows handles an outdated call for the monitor refresh rate.

Notes
|
Crashing in-game (Retail)
- The original version of Scratches is prone to crashing on modern computers.
- This issue was initially due to features that were added to Intel CPUs at the time, features that have since become standard in all Intel CPUs.
Download and install an official patch[4] |

Notes

Crashing during The Last Visit (Retail)
- The initial release of Scratches Director's Cut came with only one disc, which contained a game breaking bug that would cause the game to crash during the additional content chapter of the game.
- Future releases had two discs, with the second disc containing copies of the patches below, as such this issue should not be present on those copies, so long as the patches on Disc 2 are installed.
Download and install a patch and an update[4] |

Notes
