While the rest of the country was glued to their televisions waiting to see just how badly the Conservatives would get owned in the general election, BritSoft developer Lionhead finally released an unsupported patch for Black & White after numerous delays. Problems which the patch is reported to fix include the curse bug on level five, losing control of your creature, over-eating villagers, the constant annoying "deeeaaath" moans, save game bugs, some miracle exploits / cheats, and at least some of the issues with your creature having a ten second attention span and forgetting things between levels.

The much-needed ability to skip the tedious tutorial section at the beginning of the single player campaign if you play through the game a second time has also been added, and your creature will be less likely to eat all your villagers. It also won't become constipated if you slap it around for leaving its crap all over the place, which is sure to please anyone still trying to house train their creature. Weighing in at 8.5Mb, you can download the patch from any of the following sites -

download from 3D Gamers (USA)

download from Black & White Center (Europe)
