You didn't say. Did you get the patch that I sent you (three times), to work for your Liath game? Oooo! I forgot all about that! But no, I never got a email in my gmail inbox from you re the Liath patches. Perhaps you can burn them to a CD and ship it physically my way across the big pound? Or send it by PM on this site? |

No, sorry K515. I've tried my best for you. I hope you can find it elsewhere, or from someone else. It does exist on the internet, I know. Just can't remember where now. | |

| Ok, I d/l the Liath patch you found for me Jen. IIRC, I remember googling for the patch just before Liath arr. at our house back in May but came up with a lot of listings of other people at some of the gaming forums I belong to who were also looking for a Liath patch but were unable to find it.
On the FileFront page where I d/l this patch, it has a listing of a 1 % popularity. Is this patch kind of obscure (which is why others had difficulty finding it)?
Thanks a whole bunch, Jen, for finding me this patch. How many are they? How many will I need? |

| K515 have you done an Internet search for how many patches are needed for Liath ? Have you read any reviews on Liath, they can be very helpful with such information. Some people have played Liath with no patch at all.
Also Liath is a very difficult game to get to run. Even on win 95 and 98. I believe some people have had some success Liath on their win XP using Virtual PC. Liath will not play if you have a Nvidia card.

| I started Liath ages ago, but lost interest before I finished it. The puzzles weren't very good and moving around was confusing.
But I found the 3rd patch on an old backup CD of mine. I've uploaded it to sendspace if you want to try it. Liath patch liath_p30.zip
I also found this description of Liath patches in the patch folder on my backup CD. I think this was from the publisher's website. https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img686/2500/liathpatches.png
As you can see, the second patch was for problems with the old Voodoo Banshee video card. I can't decipher the description of what the first patch was for. The 3rd patch, I suppose, includes previous patches. It doesn't say exactly what it's for.
I don't know if the 3rd patch helps with compatibility with current video cards at all. | |

| Thanks Gelert. But keep in mind that Sendspace will delete the file after enough time passes with no one downloading it. Maybe someone can find a more permanent online home for it if the patch turns out to be of use to anyone. At about 540 kB it isn't very large. | |

| That's okay. I'd already downloaded it anyway.  | |
