Atari have put out a new patch--the third--for Troika's D&D dungeon crawl The Temple of Elemental Evil, which you can grab <a href=http://www.atari.com/us/support/dl.php?file=ftp://ftp.infogrames.net/patches/toee/TOEE_ANY-PATCH3.EXE>here</a> (direct download link). The only fix is the looting bug due to DirectX9.0c/SP2.
<br>
<br>
Thanks to <b>zhuge</b> of ToEE modding site <a href=http://www.co8.org>Circle of Eight</a> for the news. zhuge also comments:<blockquote>Comparatively FYI, Moebius's latest temple.dll currently corrects more than 30 separate bugs (of which quite a number I consider to be major), also addresses the DX9c/XPSP2 issue and adds a host of other modifications like the level uncapper, ability to add higher level spells, Scorching Ray, etc...
<br>
</blockquote>And you can grab that fan patch <a href=http://www.jadri.com/temple.zip>from here</a>.

I'm just curious to see how Exitium is going to bitch about this patch. What flame is going to be directed at Troika this time? Should we start a betting pool; it could make the bitching more tolerable.

P.S. You know we love you Exitium! :mrgreen:

I guess they didn't fix the stuttering/poor performance at the elemental planes? if not it's not worth patching.

I agree. I didn't finish the game because of the horrible slowdowns. If they're dealt with I'll try again.

OK, if I want to play TOEE starting now, what should I install for the best experience overall? I don't have SP2, so it's not a problem to not install this last patch, if it makes older fan patches incompatible. The first 2 Troika patches, I assume, then what? The Co8 3.0.4 patch? this "moebius" one?

I asked zhuge in that other thread and he says official patch 2, then Co8 3.0.4 and then moebius' temple.dll.

Frowning at my monitor as I read your dumb post.
That they won't fix those slowdowns in the temple really, REALLY pisses me off. Selling a game that plays like that...

I'm generally against Federal regulations, but honestly, there really ought to be something put in place to help consumers who buy a game that is that buggy have a recourse that doesn't involve paying to ship something shitty back or however you can go about getting a refund from the publisher, if that is even possible.
