your "patch.001" should be in this file:

C:\Program Files\Sirtech\Wizardry 8\Patches

if you have another "patches" file in the first file, then it is messed up. it may even require uninstalling the game and reinstalling all over again.

your installation for your file is best if you let WinZip "extract" it and put everything where it needs to go, and overwrite all the necessary files. pasting the file in place is not enough, because that way your main "wiz8.exe" does NOT get overwritten. if it's not overwritten, then you get freaky error messages like the one you report.

::sighs::
i feel for you. i went thru this when the last patch came out. it took me 3 installs and i still ended up starting over from scratch. somewhere along the line all my character files got corrupted.

anyway... try deleting the current "patches" file & everything in it and reinstalling the patch. maybe even a new patch download, if its no trouble for you.

i hope it works for you.
