Hi, well, although I said I wasn't going to do a new patch... well, here it is XD. That DOF thing let me a final bitter taste, and after more than one hundred hours spent in this patch, it was kind of annoying XD.
After raistlin9989 told me the problem, I really tried and tried but I wasn't able to fix it. Now after more and more trying XD, I think It's finally fixed.
This is a patch to play outcast at 640x480 fullscreen. Since the game isn't supposed to run at this resolution some problems appear
Old post for more info:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/outcast/final_640x480_fullscreen_patch_stable_some_aesthetics_problems_fixed/_/1
New things fixed
----------------
- Position of the game snapshot when you load/save a game
- Depth of field effect is now present at this resolution
----------------
A WORD OF WARNING THOUGH, THE PERFORMANCE TAKES A SENSIBLE HIT. I really don't think there is something wrong with the patch, It's just that at this resolution there are more pixels to manage than at 512x384 and doing this DOF effect.. well, it takes time to process, anyway, any brave outcaster want to try it XD?, raistlin9989 maybe? ;D. Just keep the older V3 version near, just in case XD (it's a joke XD, also if I remember correctly the DOF effect can be shutted down in the settings of the game, changing the DOF to low)
As before, there are two versions of the patch, one with the main visor or rectangle, and another one without the visor, you can see the direference in these screenshots. That's the only difference.

Sometimes the link is unavailable for short periods of time. Sorry about that, I don't know why. Maybe that happens when the file has been downloaded a certain number of times. It it says temporarily unavailable please try again later):
IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE APPLIED ONE OF MY OTHER 640x480 PATCHS, YOU MUST REMOVE IT FIRST BEFORE APPLYING THIS ONE, THEY AREN'T COMPATIBLE.
Well that's all,this time for sure, I'm starting to hate Outcast and I don't want that XD
Regards

wow you're ... Putting an incredible ammount of time into this. Accursed be my bank account, I would love to buy you a GoG for this, seriously - my experience from outcast was increased SO MUCH thanks to you.
Knew you couldn't stay away. ;)
Yeah feel free to give your email, I'll buy you a GOG soon as my Paypal account issue is resolved (hopefully soon).

Hi Fenixp and chautemoc, WOW, thank you very much for your words, I'm really ... WOW, thank you very much really. But please there is no need, I'm very glad that the patch has been of some use to you
Kind regards
Ha! I'm new to GOG. But I've been looking/trying and growing more tired and tired of this game when I tried to get it to work for the last few years. Then I saw GOG.com BY ACCIDENT...(was reading a wikipediapage..hence the helplessness..) Anyway...Great to see this forum is so supportive to get this game running on current machines. And of course..muchas gracias Zenger!
Thanks man! Great work!
Fantastic work once again Zenger. I can't believe how much you've improved the game. It's also worth noting that while I have a very crappy PC I didn't notice any performance loss whatsoever. Thanks you so much!
I need to speak with you (_Zenger_) about your work with these patches. We are from Spain. And I�m the founder of OUTCAST-Spain (the web of spanish fans about OUTCAST: http://www.outcast-spain.ya.st ).
You have realized great work, although I don�t enjoy it yet
Can you give me your email, or write email to the web, which I have to say that can give you work about OUTCAST: outcastspain@gmail.com
Greetings!

these patches work in the original version of Outcast ? CD and DVD versions ?
Amazing stuff, once again. Is there anything that's not working? I haven't found a single issue, now that the save screen and dof has been fixed?
EDIT: Mirrors!

hey broseph, let me ask u one thing. this patch is awesome but I still have black bars on the side of my screen?
I get a message saying i have the wrong loader.exe version, i have tried running this resolution patch after each game version, i start with the original game (two cd), then again after applying patch 1, then patch 2 and finally patch 3 and none of them seem to contain the right loader version, i think if this resolution patch only works with gog's version that its not really fair. :(
Zenger please make it work with the original disk versions and take out the check so it can run on any loader.exe, if the original game needs patching to a certain level let us know.
Perhaps someone could upload the original gog version of loader.exe also, thanks!

I have both the CD version and the GOG version. It's 5.99, common ;)
Also wondering if this will work with the CD version.
And if so, will it fix any other issues (like mounting, timing, etc..) or is it purely a resolution fix (meaning I need to get the GOG version first before trying it). . ?

Does the gog version of the game fix anything other than the need for a cd?
Either way i think theres enough people around who would like the chance to run their CD/DVD version (fully patched) at higher resolution, i've seen this question asked a few times now and im sure theres many more who will see this in the future who would like it as well.
Please consider it Zenger as it would be greatly appreciated by all! :)

If i remember right the unofficial patch 4 fixes those things.
