The Version 1.0-to-1.4a patch is available here:
ftp://ftp.interplay.com/pub/patches/desc14a.exe
The Version 1.4a-to-1.5 patch is available here:
ftp://ftp.interplay.com/pub/patches/dreg14a5.zip
The specific problem with the Version 1.0-1.5 patch is that it installs a bogus version of the DESCENT.SNG file in the DESCENT.HOG archive. As a result, you get no music on levels after Level 7. You can get more information than you probably want via this link:

You can get any patch you need at PlanetDescent.com
akula65 is correct. You patch from 1.0 to 1.4a Then from 1.4a to 5.0 There was once a bug that went from 1.4 to 1.5 but it was very VERY buggy.
1.5 had something like a single sound patch for a now extinct model of sound card.

I didn't download stupid v1.4 to v1.5.
v1.0 to v1.4 installed on my Descent file but I don't see \"v1.4\" on the Main Menu. Think that game is so older can't show version on there. Right?
