New Timer Bug Updates



Introduction

There are many timer bugs in Sierra's SCI VGA games. Many of these bugs did not surface until later, when computers started to become much faster than the machines that the games were written for. Often, Sierra's solution was merely offer a save game for download that was from just past the bug.

Now there are fan made patches that fix these bugs, most notably from NewRisingSun. Enrico Rolfi (Endroz,) a Gabriel Knight fan from Italy, has developed new Windows installers with patches for the
Gabriel Knight bugs.
