16 days passed, release patch! EPIC store has patched version!

[v00d00m4n]

I know patch in works, but really it taking too long!
I dont like to wait months for cumulative big patches i prefer to see smaller but regular patches every week.

Private builds are constantly tested, but i dont like that we have to keep waiting so long with vanilla game with so many issues.

So i strongly suggest to release whatever is fixed now and then keep making next fixes and do it like once a week or two.

Also i want a public beta for all patches from now on! Please give us all officiall public beta branch on Steam to see regular fresh updated even if they are not very polished yet. its still better than sitting and waiting with current state of game with a lot of things messed up.


Update:

12 days since release!

According to this thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2478970/discussions/0/4346607305578602302/

Epic store version has more up to date version and its even possible that Steam version was not even final version!

Now im totally enraged by fact that we still dont get most recent build and not even given access to public beta version!

I demand already existing update to be release on steam RIGHT NOW!

Update:

16 days since release

Instead of releasing EPIC build on Steam at least as public beta branc, geniuses from Aspyr downgraded EPIC version to Steam\GOG version *facepalm* and we still have 2 weeks to wait for official patch.

Gladly just 2 days ago before downgrade i got EPIC version and backed it up and compared it to Steam version to find difference in files and, and made unofficial patch that overrides 226 files.

Was ready to release it 2 days ago for legit Steam and GOG users, but was late because when i intended to make such patch one bad apple called Derick (banned 3 times on this forum for insulting and provoking people) falsely reported me and accused in encouraging piracy which i never did, and i was banned for week but actually proved to Steam support that i did not encourage piracy and explained them situation about my intention to make patch and they admited ban was wrong and lifted ban in 1 day.

Howeve because of that i lost 1 day and could not release patch earlier, but now it seems that even legit EPIC users need this patch. While i lost day due of now lifted wrong ban caused by false accusations, someone at TR forums released delta patch, so i am now a bit late with my version of patch.

However my EPIC patch has some benefits that xdelta patch does not: it includes whole 226 files (but its not entire game*** more about it later!), not the diff data, so it can be applied to any version of game even it was modded or if its now downgraded EPIC version, while xdelta patch could be only applied to Steam and GOG version of current build and cant help EPIC owners to upgrade back to what they had and can not patch files that was modded, which could cause potential conflics and bugs.

WARNING !!!

i do not encourage piracy, and my patch only intended to be used by legit owners and does not violate steam rules. Distribution of part of game files from other platform in form of unofficial patch is absolutely legal and not an act of piracy, as anyone who purchased game on any other platform granted legal rights to access and execute game files no matter the platform and granted rights to backup game files and store them anywhere and even to provide them ot other legitimate owners of product, our legal rights are tied to game as product, not to specific platform, so if you are legit owner of game on any platform you have rights to download and distribute this patch and it does not differ from any modification that also distributes part of game files.

You need to own full GOG or Steam or EPIC version to be able to run game, this patch does not include entire game and game will crash if you will try to run exe from patch without purchasing entire game anywhere, since it not whole game and cant be used without rest of files, so it also not legaly considered as piracy.

Only 226 files that are differnt to Steam\Gog are included in patch, so patch is expecting other thousands of game files to exist in game folder, otherwice it useless if you dont own entire game.

Also included game exe is not hacked and DRM is not bypassed and its provided as is without any alteration and with digital signature intact, actually game is DRM FREE and exe is universal for all platforms, only presence of Steam or Epic specific dll make it communicate with platform and its features like achievments and cloud saves, so i did not include EPIC dlls with this patch, and without them it works fine with Steam dll included in Steam build. So distribution and usage of this patch by legal owners of game is absolutely legal just like uploading and downloading of any mod is.

All files was obtained from purchased EPIC store public release build by Aspyr and not taken from private servers, so backing up publically released files up and restoring them even after Aspyr removed those files, is also absolutely legal as well as providing alternate download sources for those files afer Aspyr illegaly took them away and downgraded Epic version of game and violated our rights by doing so and by not providing any official download sources (like steam and epic beta branch) of previosly publicallly released patch.

Downloading and using these files if you did not purchase game on any of platform is illegal, so you are only allowed to download and use this patch if you are legitimate owner of game on any of platforms!

*Have to clarifty this to avoid any misunderstanding and false accusations again*

Download link to patch will be provided as soon as ill upload it.

I hope that it doesn’t take so long that company just cancels the patch, so they don’t have to pay the outside developers more money…..

[metal_hamster]

So demanding.

I want to play game properly but postponed it for 10 days because of bugs and missing features, and I actually running out of patience and want to finally start playing instead of play testing this game. And I see them testing new builds but I hate that they keep them private and we can't play them and see updates regularly. It's already a time to release what have been done so far. I don't expect them to patch everything in one patch but at least someone that already fixed needs to be publicly released at least a beta branch.

Then play the game. The game works, what are you waiting on?

Also, imagine having to update your game to a branch everytime you fix something.
"Here, we fixed the textures in level 5, let me go update the beta branch just so people can see we are doing things."

And then some people would complain, "It's been x days and you only fixed the textures".

I don't know, is it that hard to wait? I assume you are not 8 years old, you should have more things to do while you wait.

So, you're literally waiting for nothing. The games run fine right now, without this patch you're so desperate for. Just play it and stop being an entitled fool.

The bugs are like "if you go back to explore some more, you may discover an out-of-place texture" and modern controls are weird. It's not like they released it broken.

Really not sure what they'd even need to do in an ongoing series of patches.

Well, to be fair, games back then were much more risky to get wrong.
If you released a game and it had game breaking bugs, you would have to re-release it again, which I assume would be costly to companies.
Nowadays for better or worse, you have the option to release a product, and if something is broken, you can fix it. Too bad companies use this to release broken games and do the "we'll fix it later". Not saying it is the case with this game in particular, it has some issues, but it's far from the worst releases out there.

"the game works fine for me, so no patch needed"
typical fool's argument

there are quite a few issues with the game. some people don't have any audio. many achievements are broken, bugged or impossible. some ingame-textures are plain wrong. tr3 sfx is muffled, and bonus-level not working. just to name a few.

if you don't care about patches because the game works fine for you, then good for you, but please stfu for god's sake.

btw, original TR3 had a patch because of sound-issues. but i guess some of you negative-nancies weren't even born then.

Out of place texture and missing graphic models and art. Broken achievements.

Needed better QA.

But fanboys will always defend…

They had patch disks back then on pc games, except on consoles.

Nobody is saying "don't patch it".

I'm saying "don't crunch a small team for a game that essentially works".

[ikkuzu]

i was mostly refering to metal_hamster, who has barely 6 hours on the game and 10/269 achievements, claiming "everything is fine, don't be an entitled fool". like bruh, this dude hasn't seen sh*t yet.

[Sarochi]

Fair enough.

I haven't run into a bug yet and there are no "missing features" that require play testing as you imply. The game runs flawlessly right out of the box and the inclusion of any new features is just going to be frosting.

Has anybody found an actual game breaker yet? I haven't thus far but have only TR and UB to date.
