Through interviews with the game's original developers, it's claimed that a patch was written to fix the infamous [[Turn Speed|turn speed bug]] but it never made it into any release or patch. If the source code hasn't been lost, it could be possible to produce another version with this (and any other patches that could have been made later on) implemented. But this is only speculation for the time being. | Through interviews with the game's original developers, it's claimed that a patch was written to fix the infamous [[Turn Speed|turn speed bug]] but it never made it into any release or patch.

LEGO Island was released in several languages which are documented [[LEGO Island#Download|on a separate page]]. These have all been found to be v1.1 with only minor changes for localization purposes. Usually this boils down to replacing dialogue in the [[Interleaf files]] with all other files identical to the English release, but a few languages seems to have been recompiled the binaries too (particularly [[Local_Files#CONFIG.EXE_and_LEGOISLE.EXE|CONFIG.EXE]] which contains a lot of display text). | |||

As some language releases required further modification to these files, resulting in modified dates that may exceed both of these. If so, you can check the build version by right clicking LEGO1.DLL, choosing Properties, and selecting the Details tab. | |||
