Hi, sorry for opening a new topic about this instead of editing the post of the first patch, but I think that in the other post the new patch wouldn't be noticed
If you don't know what am I talking about, please read the other post:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/outcast/my_640x480_patch_unstable_but_maybe_a_little_more_stable
Long story short, this is a patch to play in 640x480 in fullscreen, but the game is not prepared for this, hence the problems.
I've made a new version of the 640x480 patch, now, I think it's 100% stable, well I hope so XD, let's say It's 99.99% stable just to be sure.
Now it's not necessary to set windows98 compatibility in the oc1.exe,oc2.exe,oc3.exe files anymore, but it should work either way
I've tried and tried and I wasn't able to crash the game now.
There are some changes, instead of blank screens on loading/dead/traveling, now we have:
- The dead screen is ok now
- The loading screen is ok but the symbol of loading is too small I'm afraid
- The travel screens don't appear correctly
Well, I think this is probably my last patch about this, at least the game is playable now at this resolution without much problems, although sadly there are still some aesthetic problems with menus, textboxes,loading screens...
Well, I hope this patch is useful to someone
IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE APPLIED THE FIRST PATCH, YOU HAVE TO REMOVE IT FIRST BEFORE USING THIS NEW PATCH. THE TWO PATCHES AREN'T COMPATIBLE
