Chris,

Just picked up Outcast myself, and I've seen a little bit of what
you're talking about -- the twon-ha doesn't always want to start
moving, especially when it's standing in the mud in Shamazaar.  I find
that if I turn around, and keep pressing forward, I'll usually find a
direction in which I can move; if not, a jump or two will get me
moving.

Also, regarding the patch: this was giving me fits myself.  You
installed the game first, then installed the latest patch, and then it
would complain about not finding "loader.icd", right?  Here's what you
have to do after applying the patch: copy the following four files
from "C:\Program Files\Infogrames\Outcast" into the "oc" subdirectory,
overwriting the older versions that are already there:

CLCD32.DLL
DPLAYERX.DLL
DRVMGT.DLL
LOADER.ICD

Once you do that, it should start fine.  I found this out by trial and
error; I haven't seen anyone else report anything like this...
