This patch also updates the mapedit and artedit tools.

The Plasma Pack CD was released as an early 1.11 version of the game, and not the 1.10 version like we thought. [It still indicates v1.11].

The 1.11 version included on the CD is not the final revision of 1.11. You can tell if you have the early version of 1.11 by looking at the date when you start the game.

If the date says, August 19th, 1997, then you have the old version of 1.11. Then download this pCD11.exe patch to bring Blood Plasma to the most recent version available.

If the date says September 23rd, 1997, then you have the correct 1.11 version of Blood.

This appears to be a GT Interactive patch. [Possibly a re-branded Monolith patch] that apparently corrects the wrong pressed CD version. Might have been released a few months later.

The Special Edition patch will edit your Blood executable to add the parental lock option back in, letting you decide how much blood and gore you'll see. Once the game starts up, select "OPTIONS" from the main Blood menu. At the very bottom of the list you will see the parental lock option. Highlight this option and hit [ENTER]. You can now toggle between "ON" and "OFF" using the [ENTER] key.

If you have Blood Special Edition (censored) v1.0 CD then it is a slightly modified version of the original game. Elements that may be considered "sensitive" have been removed, resulting in a game environment that may be more suitable for younger players. If you wish to restore the game to its original state, you may apply this patch to put all the Blood back in your game. Important Note - Once you have updated your Bloodless (censored) version of Blood to be the full blood filled version, also download r0011.exe the Blood Registered 1.11 patch above to stay current.

If you receive an error message that says, "fatal error: unable to load Glide DLL", right-click on the 3DFX.exe file and then choose properties. Click on the MEMORY tab at the top. At the bottom of the screen is a value called “MS-DOS Protected Mode”. In that field, type in "65535" and then click "OK". Now, just double-click on the 3DFX.exe file to start the game and play!

This patch will allow OUWB users to include 3DFX support. This will also run Cryptic Passage in 3DFX. See the RTCM Online document setup-dosboxemu-3dfx-blood.html for instructions on how to use it.

Note: You need the nGlide API Wrapper, you also need a DOSBox that supports Glide for 3DFX to work. See RTCM's general-tools-dosxp download section.
