1.03 Patch

The 1.03 patch is officially available now. From glancing at the patch notes, it appears to be identical to the beta 1.03 patch.

It is taking ages to install too.

Installed pretty quick for me - 56mb download. Took about 5 minutes to grab the update and another 5-10 to install everything.

This patch has worked wonders for camera adjustment speed. It also seems to make the cutscenes run mirror smooth as well. Nice job Obsidian!

I downloaded it pretty fast. It was the installation part that bugged me. The first 10% took just about as long as the last 90%.

Lucky you - took 45 minutes on my machine, and that was after 45 minutes of revering the beta version to 1.02 so it would run.

There seems to be an improvement all around in load times even over the beta version.

Thanks swcarter very good news.

Magrus did you already have the Beta 1.03 and 1.02 installed as I think for sure 1.02 is required?

I may not have noticed before...but does Neeshka now have a tail?
It's cool anyhow, if she'd had it before I'm sure I would have noticed...
hmm, wonder if the tail is added to the player Teifling model aswell...

I had the 1.02.whatever, no beta patch. It could just be because I was multi-tasking on my computer, but I usually don't have that problem. I wasn't going crazy with multiple programs, just browsing online. The installation sped right up once it got through the first 10% of the install and changed what was being installed, which is why I found that odd.

Hey all. I updated to 1.03 and have noticed a bug/problem. I can't get the quickcast menu to pop up. It is still mapped to the 'F' key according to the key mappings page, but hitting F is not bringing up the interface.

Any help?

Acleacius · Post by **Acleacius** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:34 pm

I had this problem too, what was happening was it also seems to be mapped to MouseLook, I looked for it in all the ini files but couldn't find it.
I had to remap the Quick cast to "Y" then all of a sudden after reaching the Graveyard I checked it again and now the "F" key is free again and remapped it back to "F" and everythign is fine.
Very weird.

Just remap it and test hitting the "F" key to see if its still mapped if you wnat to put it back.

[Fixed]

All hail the patch!

Honestly, the game was virtually unplayable with the choppy camera shifting and terrible movement speed and control.

I am very happy with the controls now, and can say that it is no longer a waste of money.

P.S. Yes, the patch took a while to install, but it is so worth it.

Just so you know, the 1.04 patch was officially released today. The current version is now 1.04.860. The patch notes don't look too exciting, but hopefully the patch will fix some of the problems people have been having.

Can someone please provide a link to the patch?

You should be able to patch your game automatically by selecting Update from the first menu that pops up. Or is that not working for you?

I know that I have been unable to update programs automatically since being forced to satellite connection. I have an idea that the 45,000 mile lag (almost a quarter-second one way) is causing the update program to burp.

I know that when I subscribed HughesNet (DirecWay at the time) that I was instructed to not play real-time FPS games over the internet using this connection for that reason. Another lag related burp happens on the POGO gamesite - my fiancee plays bingo over there and consistently is able to bingo on numbers that have not appeared on HER screen.

If only I could play the game since patch 1.03, but no, can't even start it. It errors and closes down before I even get full screen after the initial start up screen.

1.04 changed nothing either.

ARGH!
