-== Description ==
+==<br /> Description ==
 '''''Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness''''' is the forth installment in the [[Quest for Glory Series]]. The [[w:Multimedia PC|MPC]] CD-ROM re-release is the first talkie of the series. It is also the last developed in [[SCI]]. The original floppy release was known for its many bugs. Most of these were addressed with the CD-ROM re-release, however, several timer bugs remained that are precipitated on faster PCs. The after market, fan made NewRisingSun patches fix most of the timer bugs.

 **The patch fixes the order of events in the Hero's bedroom so that important events are certain to occur.  In particular, the Hero should awaken from a dream to find a note signed "Katrina" 1-3 nights after rescuing Tanya.  If this event does not occur, the game cannot be completed.  To recover, install this patch, then restore to a saved game before Hero has rescued Tanya from the castle.
