    The Co8 mod will not fix bugs in the original game, even if you start the game through the Front-End. To get the Co8 bug fixes, you need to actually play the Co8 mod. (Sorry, that had to be said.)

    If you want to play the original game without the looting bug, you will need to install Atari Patch 3 - but that will break your C08 game.

    IIRC, it has to do with your version of DirectX. If you have DirectX version 10 or above (which ships with WinXP), you'll have the looting bug. :bad:

    It's DirectX, not DivX, of course! :doh: :o And according to this page, it's version 9.0c that causes the looting bug.

    [​IMG] Sorry Kullervo, and thanks! It's DirectX, not DivX. Fixed in the original post.

    Try Moebius' patch on the Misc page instead.
