Revision as of 05:18, 14 June 2021

This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: The page needs to distinguish between what patches / tools are to be used with Direct3D, which ones are to be used with nGlide, and which ones are already included in the GOG version and thus don't need to be downloaded.. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.
