There's no patch.

Get JonoF's Port
http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=jfduke3d

Then check this thread:

... Hey wait a minute!
You can also try to slow your cpu down. Because the runtime error
might be caused by too fast cpu.

Go to this page:
http://www.3drealms.com/downloads.html

and scroll down to get moslo or cpy-kill.

At least you do not need to use the d!z2.exe.

You can simply copy the duke!zone2-files into your duke3d-directory
and launch the game with this command:
duke3d.exe /xdz-game.con /gduke!zon.grp

You can also warp directly to a episode with the /v# -parameter (where
# is the number of the episode) and to a level within that episode by
using the /l## -Parameter (## = any level number from 1 - 11).
You can also set the skill of the game by using the /s# -parameter (#=
skill 1 - 4).

You have to be aware of the fact, that the /g -parameter, that points
the game to the grp-file must be at the last position on the command
line.

This command:
duke3d.exe /v3 /l4 /s3 /xdz-game.con /gduke!zon.grp
will warp you to the third duke!zone2-episode (monkey shines) at level
four (fun house) on skill 3 (come get some).

This will also work with JonoF's port (
http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=jfduke3d )

If you want to play Duke!Zone2 in Dukematch, launch setup in this way:

setup.exe /xdz-game.con /gduke!zon.grp

and then make there your input for the multiplayer game.



----------------
Maybe you still want to look at the launcher application.
If so read further:
Under winxp i recommend to use JonoF's port (
http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=jfduke3d ). Under win98se
(the ultimate gamer OS), the usual dos-duke should be able do it's
job.
(though jfduke looks still much more beautiful :) )

O.K. Moslo doesnt appear to be the tool of first choice, because it
slows the performance of the game down.

This is, how i did it:
I downloaded cpukiller ( ftp://ftp.3drealms.com/patches/cpukil205.zip
), installed it, launched it.
I used the trackbar to set a slow down factor of 20% in the main
screen of cpukiller. This might be different for you: I have a Pentium
III with 700 Mhz.
I did NOT klick on the "Start!!"-Button. Instead i klicked on the
"Add"-button and selected the D!z2.exe. Then in the Properties i was
setting again 20% of cpu use (once again: the might be different for
you. Fool around with it).
Important:
In the "Advanced" part of the "properties" menue, enable the "slow
down only for:" -option and set it to 20 seconds or how long you will
hang around in the d!zone2-menue. Because that is the only problem:
Only the D!z2.exe (that gives you a front-end to select episode and
skill to launch the game) will need to be slowed down.
Once you've made you settings, select D!z2 and klick on the
launch-button.
