Essential improvements

Official patch

Download the patch for the CD-ROM version or the DVD-ROM version.

ScummVM

As of 16 June 2019, the ScummVM engine supports Blade Runner. For more information, see the ScummVM wiki page.

This method does not require an external installer or installation of any additional patches.

Alternate installer for retail version

Allows installation from the CD/DVD releases on 64-bit Windows.
Automatically installs both the official patch and the wrapper.
Does not copy the file HDFRAMES.DAT so it needs to be downloaded from here or copied from the game disc to <path-to-game>.

Aqrit's ddwrapper

Fixes timing issues with the shooting range and "rat in the tunnel" portions of the game.

Peixoto's patch

Peixoto's patch adds nearest neighbor or xBRz scaler for better visuals. Sets single core affinity and Windows 98 compatibility mode for improved stability.
