Patches / MODs
Starting off with Planescape: torment? Thanks to the user community, various patches have been released to fix incompatibility problems.
Install the patches in this order (source):
- Clean install of the game. If you uninstalled a previous version, delete the folder altogether. Your old saves probably won't work.
- If you are using the 4CD version, Install official 1.1 patch (where?)
- If you are installing a no-cd crack to save wear and tear on your discs, do so at this time. (where?)
- Install The Bigg's widescreen mod, if desired. (I recommend it if you have a decent size monitor... if it's a small screen, eh) (where?)
- Install Ghostdog's UI (if you installed the widescreen mod, I highly recommend it. If you didn't install it, skip this step.) (where?)
- Install All Inclusive Fixpack by Qwinn (where?)
- Install Unfinished Business by Qwinn (where?)
- Install Tweaks by Qwinn (where?)
The actual file downloads follow. Screen shots of the game in action using the widescreen MODs can be found here.
Fixes one helluva bugs.
Be sure to run this if you want to run the game with maximum
efficiency and fun! This is NOT required for the 2CD version - as it is already patched.
A comprehensive WeiDU Fixpack, finished almost-but-not-quite-finished conent and a few ease-of-use tweaks to your Planescape: Torment install, as well as one or two must-have components.
INCLUSIVE of SKARDAVNELNATE's, Platter's Fix Pack and Restoration Pack. You do not need any of the below MODs with the exception of the Official Patch for the 4CD version, Tweak Pack and Widescreen MODs. You can find an active forum here for any help you need. Updated 22nd December 2008.
Allows play at previously unsupported resolutions, like those of widescreen monitors and works in Windows XP and Windows Vista. Note that only the resolution is changed - the font size remains the same (becomes smaller in higher resolution). More details here
Requires The BIGG's widescreen mod above. Optimizes screens/spells for 1280x720 (720p), 1280x768, 1280x800 and 1280x1024 resolutions and centers all elements of the game properly. Increases the font size as well.
The mod only enlarges the main game view; the screens (load, save, statistics, inventory etc.) are put on a black background, because editing the whole interface for every possible resolution would be a long and tedious work.
Edited most of the interface, to improve how it looks, for a single resolution (1024x768). Updated 29th November 2008.
This is a set of fixes for Planescape Torment intended to supplement Platter's 1.37 Fix Pack and/or the Restoration. As well as make them compatible with the other mods that are out. Original Thread. Original Thread #2.

An unofficial pack to restore features that were removed from the final version of the game.
A WeiDU compilation of fixes, cosmetic changes, and tweaks.
