This was a year ago or so. I have the original cd from the game and I downloaded a patch from the official website and installed the patch.
Before in after installing the patch everything goes well. After installing the patch, the game asks me for the original cd as if it wasn't, or as if it wasn't in my cd-rom.
I tried reinstalling, both the game and the patch, several times through this time, but I had never any luck with it... had to play it unpatched.
Anyone ever had this and solved it?

Not I, but you could try out MalkHead's unofficial 1.18 to 1.19 patch. It's based off the GOG.com version of the game, and sadly Arkane have not yet managed to do an official patch.

Thanks. I'll try that one when I can. :p

Yea that patch is sweet. My fps went up by the double. Had to install all the patches before 1.19 (except 1.16) but still it's worth it. I noticed lots of fixed stuff: textures on some models, text buttons on character creation are well placed, and more. Thanks very much.
The only issue I had with this game and still have even with the patches is that the game seems to run slow. Like when I turn the mouse it has a delay on response. I tried all settings minimum and maximum and makes no diference. I remember having this problem with my old computer too, so this isn't a hardware problem... It's rather similar to what V-Sync causes me in every game.
I'll check the FAQs for this, but if you or anyone knows a way to fix this (if it's possible), would be great.
hmm, does the game have V-Sync? (I know it's not in the options, but...)

Well, I remembered I had some options turned on in my ATI catalist controls, turned them off and the game is good now.
Fps rate is now between 100-200, at least in the prison at start.
I assume I'll have a little drop when I get to the city tho. I'll see if I can raise it a bit more.
EDIT: yup, when I get to the tavern and around there, my fps droped to 30-50. Pretty nasty...
