Arcanum Demo

by Drog Black Tooth

A huge community patch that fixes dozens of bugs and restores a plenty of omitted content. You only need the latest version. For previous versions, go to the Download Archives

High Resolution Patch

by Drog Black Tooth

This patch enables Arcanum to be played in any resolution. Compatible with Arcanum 1.0.7.4, including all mods based on that version. Extra info: forum thread

Soundtrack

Original

The lossless edition of the Arcanum soundtrack (WAV format, 21 tracks). Further info here.

Main Module Expansions

Arcanum Work in Progress by rroyo

Hard-Arcanum by Chris Beddoes

AKA polished CAR Arcanum, is a huge mod that, among many things, has reworked the combat balance (in quite unconventional ways), added some locations and... just go see the announcement.

Arcanum Equilibrium Rebalance by Leonidusx v1.12

Changes almost all weapons, armors, items, spells, monsters to rebalance Arcanum combat and make it reasonably challenging. Some entirely new spells and items such as Lycanthropy, Inferno, Tsunami, Napalm, Immunosuppressant.

Arcanum Hacks

Keep in mind that many of these hacks might refuse to work with main module expansions, and are generally not compatible with Drog's Unofficial Arcanum Patch
