Legacy Interactive has issued a patch for the North American version of its most recent Law & Order game, Criminal Intent. The patch fixes a navigational problem with the playable character, as well as the much maligned crashing and graphics corruption experienced by many players with NVIDIA GeForce video cards.

Criminal Intent, which was released in October, has been universally panned by players and critics for its showstopping technical problems. The fourth game in Legacy's Law & Order series, CI is the first that employs a third-person perspective. The player takes control of Detective Robert Goren, star of the NBC television series, to investigate four murder cases.

You can learn more about Criminal Intent in Adventure Gamers' review, where reviewer Christina Gmiterko admits that she would have scored the game higher if not for the bugs. Hopefully this patch will finally allow players to experience the game as it was meant to be played.
