These Gravis Ultrasound Drivers will work with some Sierra 32 bit games. These drivers will not work on earlier Sierra games.
This diskette or archive file contains the necessary files to update Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness' version 1.0, 1.0a or 1.1 to version 1.1a. This update corrects several problems:
  • Polygon problems, to include "purge is not a selector for glory"
  • Fatal "Assertion Failure" during saving
  • Fatal at the Monk's Tomb
  • Fatal at the Thieves Guild main safe
  • Fatal when Restoring from the Burning Gypsy death message

Do NOT use this patch on the CD version of the game.

This 1.0.1 patch includes several updates to the original diskette version, including:


  • Fixes error 29 ("Unable to initialize your audio hardware") with SoundBlaster 16
  • Provides support for the Gravis Ultrasound Sound Card (32-bit DOS).
This patch fixes the order of events in the Hero's bedroom so that important events are certain to occur. In particular, the Hero should awaken from a dream to find a note signed "Katrina" 1-3 nights after rescuing Tanya. If this event does not occur, the game cannot be completed. To recover, install this patch, then restore to a saved game before Hero has rescued Tanya from the castle.
This patch corrects Error 29 that says "Unable to initialize your audio hardware" when the sound card is a SoundBlaster 16 whose port address is not 220.
