MM8Patch v2.5.6:

[-] Items laying on the ground in one map were appearing in another when traveling by foot sometimes.
[-] Ogre corpses were containing most basic sword instead of a club.
[-] My bug: DisableHooks option wasn't working for some new hooks.
[-] My bug: When custom *.games.lod archives are used, incorrect data was written to autosave on New Game start. It was fully inconsequential until version 2.5.4.
[-] My bug: The DirectX 7 bug/limitation fix was being applied prematurely, causing a crash on Wine.
