Get the Arcanum v080708 patch off WP (5mb)

NOTES TO TESTERS:

1. Run the game with -dialognumber parameter, it will show internal numbers for PC lines in dialogues. Right click on your desktop link to the game and add it. E.g. it'd look like "C:SierraArcanumArcanum.exe -dialognumber". It will be much more easier to report broken lines this way.
2. I added a cheat menu to Virgil's dialogue. It gives you all map locations, mastery in any skill, fate points, XP, gold, changes your alignment, turns on PC boats and even lets you force the story line status, thus making almost every quest available from the start. Create a "dlg" folder inside your arcanumdata folder and put the file there. The cheat menu is accessible via Virgil's questions' branch.
3. If you're tired of hitting ESC two times every time you launch the game, then use this fix to disable the starting movies. Just put the file into your Arcanum folder.

The patch is designed to work with a vanilla English version of the game, patched to 1.0.7.4. NO MODS SHOULD BE INSTALLED. The patch most likely won't be compatible with them.

The CD check has been removed as well, no point in it after all these years.

Although it's not obligatory, it's advised that you start a new game. Some fixes (e.g. Kraka-Tur journal) won't work with old saves.
