OK, folks.
The playthrough has officially started!
This thread will remain here should any of you experience technical problems during the installation process or the game itself.

Collector wrote:@ jujigatame. You need both files or none. They have to be used as a pair. The SCR is a script patch and the HEP is a heap (for memory management) file. I tested it with the original installer and the SHP installer using the CD for resources. It makes no difference.
FYI, replacing those files in the patches directory caused crashes when playing from a save created before the patch files were replaced. So that workaround doesn't actually work.

Save games can carry bugs with them, even after the game has been fixed. I can't say if that patch causes other problems, but they need to not be present for the clock puzzle.

It just seems like trying to restore pre-patch saves with the patches in place breaks the game in general. One I removed the patches again, the saves worked fine.

Game saves for the SCI games are very version specific. Patching and unpatching essentially changes the version.

So it sounds like at present there's no workaround for the intro quotes bug. You either have to have text mode on or just live without them.
