This problem is likely caused by one of the following reasons:
- The program calls int10 from protected mode and expects to get selector based far pointers instead of segment based ones. - The program previously failed to initialize VESA and now, when it initializes VESA correctly, it starts to crash in previously unused code.
Separating these two cases would make fixing this crash easier. Do you have some traces that show int10 usage before/after patch or can the game be downloaded for free from some site?

Hi, Sorry for the FUD. Seems like this game has some issues with and without the patch. This seemed to be just the 'exception of the day' when I tried your patch. Now when trying it again I get some different exceptions that seem to be related to some critical section timeouts.
Ciao Enrico
