A possible fix for anyone who tried to update the game from 1.01 to 1.04 is that it seems to have been a US version and a EUROPEAN version.
In my Planetary Mod is the US version update, so you can try that.
Also, there is an ISO file at this site that may contain a working patch.

Another thing is that to me is the best OS for running older games like this is Windows XP & Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a laptop and ORB would not work until I installed it after I bought it again from Steam, but on Home Premium it works PERFECT.
It runs on Windows 11, but it won't use the full screen size of my 27-inch screen no matter what I do, and the editor is buggy under Win 11, but on XP & 7 HP it does work well.
