Resource Tools

Patches

This patch will fix the problem saving/restoring games that results in an "Error 47 Not an object" message or a General Protection Fault (in Windows).
Games saved previous to the addition of the patch may not be usable. If the save game displayed the "Error 47" problem it may be corrupted and will not work. If none of your saved games work, you must delete and reinstall Torin's Passage, apply the patch, and start a new game. You can start Torin's at the beginning of any chapter and play through successfully.


New Installer

Works with all versions of the game. Installs entire game to the hard drive for CD-less play.(requires files from the original distribution media)


Debug Modes

None known.
