I don't believe for a second that the demo.exe screws the game. I bought the game today. Installed the game with the dvd. I didn't choose to install the mult-player. I then updated the game to 1.01. I ran the game until chapter 3. I took the dvd out and installed the demo.exe into the game folder. I started the game with the dvd out of the drive. I played thru chapter 5 and saved. It still hasn't crashed. I don't see the proof that the demo.exe doesn't let you play with the updated 1.01 version????? Please explain how the demo.exe is only letting me play with the 1.00 version???? Even though I updated with the retail game????


No one is claiming that the demo exe screws the game. What we were saying is that it probably removes any benefits of installing the updates as some of the corrections they have made to the code could very well be inside the demo exe.

Sad
When you play with the demo exe, you play with a code OLDER than 1.0. You play with demo code! How hard is it understand?!

If it suits you, fine, whatever... Those of us that want to actually play an updated game won't use it

Yes, because that 3.27 MB file contains ALL the code the game needs to run. Rolling Eyes

The .exe file is simply a starting point, the real code is contained in the .dll files.

LOL...like I said...have you tried comparing the exe after patching the game with the demo?
I'm really curios.

while that may be true, it still could contain changes and using it with an update could produce errors. But who gives a monkey. I played through the game unpatched and only encountered one crash.

People don't get the fact that when you compile the engine, 3-10MB EXE is enough. It's the SOURCE CODE, not any of the media (i.e. textures, maps, etc). Then, various obfuscators and compressors are run on the exe to make it difficult (read: impossible) to reverse-engineer the source code (hence the even smaller EXE size). Then the protection company gets their hands on the EXE, infests it with shit, and the master cd is pressed. Some final testings are done and CD/DVD is ready for replication/manufactoring.

Ofcourse, source code can be split into many DLLs, so the EXE may not be all the source code, but it usually (as in not allways) constains the main code. Usually other DLL files are external libs used by the game (EAX, Bink, etc).

whats the difference between procyon and detonation release ?


Procyon - retail DVD9 edition with fixed bugs

Detonation is a steam rippers group - games taken from steam , but its buggy as hell and u cant use the patches becoz of the steam rip

take the Procyon , less buggy and with the 1.1 patch all the bus are gone that are still in the Steam-rip edition


Actually I have completed the Detonation version. It ran very well, I think I had the game crash once in total. The best part is before you unrar it you can burn it to a DVD instead of needing a DVD9 or 2 DVDs. Its definitely the best version to get. The DVD version before being patched is the buggy one!

Could you make a screenshot of the dvd dir? Deleted a few days ago, so can't check it myself. Maybe there's a way to split the installation.

Make that screenshot in details view, so I could see the sizes of the files.

Burn data1.cab, data2.cab etc...on the first DVD, burn the rest of the cabs on the second DVD. The setup will ask you to insert next disk during installation. Very easy Very Happy
