The following patches convert the French and Dutch localized versions of the game to the original official, albeit unreleased, FULL ENGLISH version. That means the game now has English dialogue and English subtitles, text, menu etc. No changes or corrections were made whatsoever, although it's obvious from the many mistakes that it hasn't passed any final quality assurance tests, probably because it wasn't going to be released. So yes, the subtitles have a couple spelling and grammatical errors but they never distract or confuse. It seems that an English version of the game was actually made during the production of the game and each localized version either written over it or disabled the English text/audio.
The patches are different from each other and only work on their respective versions. I bought my Dutch version of the game [Mozart - De samenzweerders van Praag] from Mensys.nl since it was the only shop I could find that would ship to my country, accept paypal and had an English site. The French version [Mozart: Le Dernier Secret] can be found at the French Amazon store.
To install the patch for the Dutch version simply unpack the archive to the game directory and overwrite the files as necessary.
To install the patch for the French version, first unpack the archive to the game directory (overwriting the files as necessary) and then run the "mozart patch.exe". When it asks for a directory, select again the game directory. Please be patient. This procedure can take up to 10 minutes!
The new executables, in both pacthes, are also Starforce-free! Just make sure you never run the original exe and install the patch immediately after installing the game, if you want to avoid installing Starforce on your machine.
You can download the patch for the French version here
And the patch for the Dutch version here.
I also wrote an English walkthrough which you can find here.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteDoes the patch work on .iso files?
ReplyDeleteNo, the patch works on the installed game. First you need to install the game and then you have to install the patch, which in effect modifies the files of the game. Of course you can always install the game from an .iso using virtual drive mounting software, or you can burn the .iso to a dvd.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I meant if you install it from an .iso, sorry for the confusion. Thank you so much for making the patch downloadable!
ReplyDeletehi, is it possible to change the english text to make an italian version? I would like to try but I also have to understand what tools it takes, thanks
