There are several recommended mods containing bug fixes, widescreen support, restoration of cut content content and tweaks to some of the more annoying aspects of the game (such as the hit-points per level being constant instead of completely random). It is recommended that you follow [http://thunderpeel2001.blogspot.com/2009/01/planescape-torment-fully-modded.html this guide], as the mods require that you install them in a certain order. GOG.com version users can skip to step 3a.

Essential improvements

Patches

The official 1.1 patch is the latest version of the game. GOG and 2 CD copies will already have this installed.

Peixoto's patch

Allows nearest neighbor or xBRz scaling and fixes poor performance

Mods

There are several recommended mods containing bug fixes, widescreen support, restoration of cut content and tweaks to some of the more annoying aspects of the game (such as the hit-points per level being constant instead of completely random). It is recommended that you follow this guide, as the mods require that you install them in a certain order. GOG.com version users can skip to step 3a.

Issues fixed

Slowdowns and stuttering

Install unofficial patch[citation needed]
  1. Install unofficial patch (DDraw Fix).
  2. If the patch causes cursor trails to appear, open setup-pst-drawfix.tp2 with a text editor and delete the following lines:
    PATCH_IF( offset != (0 - 1) ) BEGIN WRITE_BYTE ( offset + 26 ) 0x02 END <br/>ELSE BEGIN PATCH_WARN "Cursor Trail Fix Failed: patch location not found" END
  3. Reinstall the patch.

"Not enough free disk space" error followed by shut down on large capacity partitions

Install Windows compatibility fix
  1. To clarify, this is a fix for a post install issue on drives over 2TB in size, where the game will crash on launch.
  2. Download custom compatibility fix from this link
  3. Either use command line to install the compatibility file or run the BATCH file as an administrator to do it automatically.

Spell effects cause artifacting and performance issues

Disable hardware acceleration[citation needed]
  1. Go into the control panel in Windows.
  2. Switch off hardware acceleration for the duration of the playing time.
  3. If the option is greyed out, download the DirectX SDK, and manually switch it off (under DirectDraw).[citation needed] Remember to switch it back on after you are done playing.

Characters are walking backwards

Toggle software mirroring[citation needed]
  1. Go into the video options.
  2. Toggle "Software Mirroring".

Assertion Failed on Startup

There are startup checks that try to ensure the game can run. Usually they involve setting up the initial game.

Enable windowed mode[6]
  • Applies to "F:\Torment\Source\chitin\ChVideo.cpp at line number 4322", or no valid video modes supported.
  • See Windowed
Modify configuration file[7]
  • Applies to "F:\Torment\Source\chitin\ChDimm.cpp at line number 787"
  • Edit <path-to-game>\torment.ini and change the paths in the first section to match the installation directory.
Set torment.exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2.[citation needed]
