"patch"? Personally I have no idea what you're talking about, could you give some details?

GOG Cut was packaged together by GOG themselves, nobody here is involved. The only way for this to be patched cleanly and correctly is for GOG to update package on their end.

If you'd like to use the latest version of DFU however, installation is very straightforward. I recommend using the DaggerfallGameFiles method and deleting your settings.ini. This will prompt you to set the DaggerfallGameFiles path and reset the awful settings GOG force out with their package.

This will give you a nice clean install without any mods. You can then add back any mods you want - just be sure any mods are up-to-date and compatible with recent versions of DFU. Some older mods are no longer maintained and will cause problems in the game.
