Unofficial Divine Divinity 1.005a retail patch

After Larian "lost" the master files with the changes, somebody found a possible way to supply a patch you currently have to pay for.

It breaks compatibility with old saves. I know I was frustrated when trying to play my old saves from the CD version with the GOG version.

Overall this patch looks like a mess, and something that breaks more stuff than it fixes. Also I have seen that the music in the GOG version plays improperly, and some tracks are missing. Enough for me never to touch it.

The only patch that game needs is one that balances/fixes ice weapons...

Was that honestly Larian's excuse... they lost it?

True, I had a freezing sword at very low-level and it was possible to freeze the hardest enemies and grind to unthinkable levels.

"Losing" the files is the excuse that was given. I don't believe that excuse for a second. I would not be surprised if they pull the same excuse with all of their other games just to get more profit.

May sound like bullshit, but I actually believe them. I've read many stories about how badly developers used to store data, how the arts for King of the Dragon Pass where lost, how the entire code for Wastelands almost disapeared...
