Oh god (Drog), please hurry. I've been sitting here for a week now 24/7, hitting the refresh button on my browser every 10 seconds. I've passed out twice so far, so now I'm using an electric cattle prod every 5 seconds. Don't know how much more..... OUCH!!

Of course, as soon as you release it - I'll have to sleep for a week :oops:

waiting for this patch to install and play arcanum 4 the first time

should I also download the high res map packs or will this patch pretty much make them obsolete?


btw is this going to be released this weekend or should I just fuck off and come back in a week or so?

From what he said, it should have been done a couple of days ago, but he must have hit a snag somewhere.

I wouldn't worry about it, though. At least we know that when Drog says that he'll do something, he actually ends up doing it. :D

Dude, why would you even think that? This patch lets more information (pixels) be displayed on the screen at the same time. Hi-res map packs add more information to be displayed.

Arcanum
Official Patch
Unofficial Patch
Hi Res Maps
Better Music
Hi Res Widescreen?

Not sure now. Found a nasty engine limitation yesterday that screws the scripting system at higher resolutions. Already found the coding, but it's pretty messy.

Fixed it.

When looking for specified objects in vicinity the scripting system now thinks that the game still has the draw area of 800x400 (that's what the game was specifically designed for, anyway). This should eliminate all problems and incompatibility issues with the original content. If it wasn't for this fix, the game would be checking the whole screen and finding objects that were supposed to be off screen or not finding needed objects at all, since there's actually a limit on how many objects the scripting system can check on the screen.

Debugging is fun.
