Yes, I know it has more bugs than the Great Dismal Swamp. Yes, I know the official patch doesn't take care of all the issues. And, yes, I have heard that there is a Co8 patch out there that came out even before the official one did! So, my question is, should I use both patches or only the official one? Are there conflicts between the two? Where can I get the Co8 patch? Perhaps you are thinking that I am masochistic for even attempting to play, but my brother gave me the game so I must at least make an effort to try it!

Just as a rule of thumb, use ONLY official patches.
