I was pleasantly surprised to find that the muppet* behind the [SilentPatches](https://cookieplmonster.github.io/) mods have not only worked on the game to make it run on modern systems but made what amounts to almost a remaster two years ago, for the games twentieth anniversary:
- Support for modern systems
- Multiple bugfixes
- HD UI
- (Ultra)widescreen support
- Graphical fixes and improvements
- Support for texture replacements and higher resolution assets
- Game is made portable (no settings in the registry!)
[The changelog goes on and on... ](https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/cmr-3/#silentpatch)
Heck, even the cheats function in the game that generates a code you had to exchange for the actual cheat (over the telephone!) have been [remade](https://cookieplmonster.github.io/bonuscodes/cmr-3/)! So much love for this old game!
I posted a few screenshots (with dubious commentary) below but to see the full extent of the changes I highly recommend watching [the official trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipXwyzwV9k0)!
It does work very well in Proton, but some minor fixes are needed:
- The xcopy call in setup.bat (used to patch the exe) fails and need to be replaced with copy (or copy the file manually and comment out the xcopy call)
- Add a dll override for dinput8.dll (this is how the SilenPatch hooks into the game)
- I could not get separate gas/brake axes to work, only combined. This is supposed to work according to the notes in patch 1.1 so I'm not sure if it's a bug in the game, the patch or Proton?
If in Sweden you stop at any red cottage like this and make the right börk, börk, börk noises, the people inside will serve you meatballs with lingonberries - delicious!
The Queensland girls really knock me out! Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh! I'm back! Back in the A.U.S!
It's impossible to have a bad time in Finland. Well, maybe if you complain about the heat in the post-rally sauna or request ketsuppi for your memma?

And unlike the real muppet...... This muppet doesnt waste so much food while eating........
"SilentPatch has been thriving as a “brand” and I’ve expanded into many more games, so I hope it continues. I’ve recently also been taking contracts to help re-release older games on modern digital gaming platforms that I suppose can be called “official SilentPatches”; even though they don’t carry the name, internally they work just like SPs, patching the game’s code at runtime 🙂
That said, I have very high hopes for 2024 – if everything goes well (and it still might not), perhaps next year we will see the first game officially released carrying the SilentPatch name… Fingers crossed!"
