Not worth the cash in my opinion. It would be a great free singleplayer mod tho.

I'm sure they'll upgrade to a new engine after the next episode. I can't imagine they'll stick with source for 4 years.

Couple of Q's regarding this release

Do you have to have steam installed to run this?

Do you have to connect to steam to run this? (anyone tried playing this on a comp with no internet?)

Why are these Emporio/Provision releases ripped from Steam always several thousands of files instead of a few big .gcf files? If you buy the game and download it you get it in .gcf format, right? Maybe that's the cause of the broken AI script problems. The Vengeance HL2 release didn't have this problem but the Emporio release had it and now this SiN release has it too. Also Vengeance claimed the performance is better when the games are run from the .gcf files instead of thousands of small files.

Nah its just click the exe and start playing but u gotta or should also grab the fix also as the game otherwise will connect everytime u play and if u have a legit steam account this might not be so good.

No, the gcf's and provisions release have the same files. The Steam release is just packed into gcf's for convience.

Also packed means it has to be uncompressed everytime you start it so there's no performance gain obviously.

Yeah I know. That's pretty obvious. Why are you posting this, what are you trying to say?

Well many people who compared the HL2 Vengeance release to the Emporio release confirmed that they really got a better performance with the Vengeance release. I think the reason is it takes more time to load A LOT of small files from your HDD than it takes to access a few big files (due to physical file locations on the HDD/fragmentation). And I think gcfs are not compressed.

It's all Very very interesting...
So, there are 2relz of SiN: EMP and VNG, whats the main difference with them? Are EMP full of small files and are VNG a couple of gcfs like with HL2?

And which rel is better? EMP or VNG?

Thankz for answering my questions Smile
---------------

Oh, thanks for correcting... Of course, EMP and PRV, not VNG. So, what anyone can say about this?

There is a patch out on Steam....

Quote:

# Fixed the challenge system sometimes never easing up on the player, making it unforgiving
# Fixed sound-stuttering issues for some players
# Fixed player stats not always reporting while you are in the car or otherwise locked in place
# Fixed the instantaneous challenge rating sometimes reporting 0
# Fixed a texture problem that was causing a lock-up on some video cards when loading in U4Labs
# Fixed a path-finding issue preventing the game from progressing after talking with Radek at his headquarters
# Reduced point-size on some fonts to fix close captioning being clipped

Thank you very much, I got this bug and couldn't find a way to work around despite help from their forums. Now I'll just have to wait for the patch to be released by Provision =)

HI,

I've got a question about this rel. :

Is this the "cut" version with less blood etc.? cuz I read that the german version(or cuted version) of this game has also blood effects when u shoot someone, but when the bodys lay on the ground there's no more blood visiable and you can NOT chop of body parts...ehm and that is exactly how it is in the PROViSiON rel., so my question is did they crack the cut version and if so is there a bloodpatch or something out that will enable it...
