Are you playing the cracked release? Are you having text problems on your NV card?

Maybe, there's a number of model changes, nearly every shader file got changed, Russian and Polish localization globals were updated, launcher keyboard and mouse graphics were changed too (Or added?) and then the launcher and exe plus some .dll files.

EDIT:
The updated files, not that they're much use as is but here they are.

hope FLT rack this update too - cant play because of that nvidia bug

Aside from the 30 FPS limit it seems the patch fixed the rest of the problems, or at least the game works now. Very Happy

No, I'm just talking about it in general. I haven't installed yet.

I'm not usually bothered but this game feels oddly slow and sluggish, maybe due to this cap, it's kinda hard to describe but it should be fairly evident when in the actual game.

Another group might try for a proper or a DOX release with just the update, if it's just CEG then any of the current scene groups should be able to handle it theoretically.
(Judging by previous releases, I guess CEG change over time though much like SecuROM did.)

(Fairlight does something with Steam_Api.dll and the game exe, Reloaded and Skidrow use some external file from what I remember and sort-of emulate the CEG functionality instead of totally stripping it out, Theta I believe complete removes such protection but I'm far from a expert in this so I might be incorrect in how it's handled.)

(Then there's custom triggers and such protection to take into consideration, Shogun 2 had a lot of that but this seems done by a third party studio and not Creative Ensemble themselves so that's probably not the case here.)

So how is the game, worth getting?

Any interesting lvl progression ? (I hate bad ports)

But the big battles look pretty nicely done, haven't seen much in that scale.

There seems to be three really big maps (Or worlds of sorts.) which you'll gradually explore in order, game is quite linear from what I read on the Steam forums but those larger battles are apparently one of the main highlights, Norse mythology is also a bonus for me as I like that, port itself is overall pretty solid now with this update but it was probably a bit rushed and then there is that framerate cap which will no doubt annoy a lot of people.

Controls are simple though a gamepad is probably preferred but I'm having no problems with mouse + keyboard but I always use that so that's probably not a good comparison, there are also some QTE like events such as tapping a button (F) in order to do a certain action like untying prisoners tied to some pole like object.

Well, the legit game has been patched a few hours ago and it fixes the issue it seems. Read it on forums just now.

It's a game glitch, I'm afraid. The only fix IS the fix .. the 300MB patch that just hit Steam. All we can do is wait and hope for a Scene/p2p release.

Radeon here so no bugs so far. As someone mentioned it feels sluggish - character moves like through water or something. But as a huge fan of Rune I have to give it a proper try at least.

Yes the 30 fps in this game feels more like 20. And random points where it feels like it slows down even more, but Fraps says it's still at 30. Odd.

I cant stand the "B" "A" "Y" "X" thing, all the way in the game. I think it is an uninstall and delete for me.

Seems to me that the last time a a cracked game was missing text. It was a certian font that was missing. I had to add the font to the system32 folder of windows. Okay...what is the font?

It has nothing to do with the crack, the actual game had a bug that caused text to be invisible for Nvidia users but a patch today fixed it.

another issue is either with my logitech rumble 2 or my PS3 controller, the game doesn't recognize the buttons correctly, r3 is start, circle or button 3 is "button A" it's a mess. The game runs rather shitily.. I want to dig it, but with this setup, I am not liking it. The mouse and KB work ok I guess, not too happy even considering I spent 0 on it lol... Sabin are you having any joy with the controller?

They just answered me on Twitter about the missing text, but completely ignored my question about the 30 fps cap. Guess they don't care about fixing that.

Sorry bud, I didn't see Sad I can't help because I haven't played it yet... nV card = font bug and there's no "hacked" patch yet. That and the weird 30fpsyetfeelslike20fps nonsense isn't exactly making me jump for joy either.
