This afternoon I installed the patch, but while I was busy also updated to the newest drivers for my Nvidia TNT2 card, so some changes I mention might be caused by the new drivers as well.
I noticed the game being brighter, and reacting snappier. The names of monsters and items on the ground when you hold your cursor on them, have a purple background now.
A change I'm ambivalent about is that shopkeepers insist on finishing what they have to say before you can do any action. While this means you don't miss things like promotions, it also means that when you're selling stuff, everytime you switch to another character you have to wait while the shopkeeper welcomes you, tells you about his quest you haven't finished yet, and possibly about a promotion quest as well.
If you happen to have the vampire ring in your possession, you can always try to find out if the game really doesn't crash anymore when donning it.
