Hey guys, I think I found a solution to many of our problems. May not work for everyone, but did for me. Turns out this game doesn't run well on multi-processor systems, so you want to apply a uni-processor fix. This patch will also cure many no-music issues (I can not vouch for this because you still need a cd for music and I don't have one yet)
all you do is un-rar the exe file, open it up, then within the window it opens, navigate to your turok.exe (whatever its called on your system) and select it. This will apply the patch to the exe. You may also want to apply it to the multiplayer exe as well. I haven't because I dont plan to play multiplayer. Its all about the single player for me 😀
Thank heavens for Russians 😁

- add uni-processor mode patch (may fix crash on multi-processor systems)
- source codes release to public

- no nag screen when winm2.dll is loaded; now it appears only once - when patch is installed
