game patches included?

[Chris Solomon]

does anybody know if this game is the version 1.2? if not it means it's missing two very important patches. I looked at the executable files and it doesn't look like they have been patchd to 1.2 patches 1.1 and 1.2 fix a lot of issues with this game. the patches for the game availible for D/L say not for digital distrobution versions of the game, but there is a version of the patch for the direct2drive version of the game. if the game is not patched, maybe womeone could figure out a way to trick the patch to install anyway

yes, the game launcher says that it's version 1.2 in the window head

[Chris Solomon]

just because it says1.2 doesn't necessarily mean the patches have been installed

another game i own on steam, FarCry for instance actually requires all the patches (i am not refering to the 64-bit conversion patches) be installed manually in order for the issues that those patches fix, actually get fixed. Farcy says it's 1.44, but it really isn't. same with another game, steam game, TimeShift. the patches need to be manually installed before the fixes they contain are actually applied.

just noticed that the direct2drive 1.2 patch is over 700gb. also i have seen it stated it is for all other versions of the game. (as opposed o retail copies) so maybe it contains all the fixes plus the stuff that supposedly is missing from the raxus and death star levels

i just finished D/L the D2D 1,2 patch for TFU:USE, and unlike the retail patches, the contents of the patcher are unencrypted. meaning you can copy the contents from the patch, (using 7-zip) and drop them into the steam install of the game. some of the patched files in the Levelpacks directory in the patch, appear to contain patches for the DS and raxus levels as well as some other levels like the hoth levels. as soon as i get far enough along in the game to determine whether it is the same as my retail version gameplaye wise, i will post back. also saw a post elsewhere that the cloth simulation is set to off sometimes, creating issues, i will try turning it on to see if the vader level's (first level) performance matcheds what i got with my disc version of the game. for what ever reason with the steam version moved really slowly..... i know he doesn't run around, but he was moving in slow-mo, exceot when he jumped or sawung is lightsaberr everything else ran at normal speed. on my retail copy, he moves around a lot better. also as dissapointed as i am with TFUII, it performs better than the steam version of TFU:USE

TFUII: Ultimate Disappointment Edition - that sounds about right

So did you test it?

[Chris Solomon]

yeah, i am in the middle of testing it now. I have discovered so far, that the game doesn't like to have it's EXE's replaced, but adding all the other files from the D2D 1.2 patch seems to be ok. it takes minute or two to extract and copy the levelpack files into place, but the game doesn't even blink. unfortunetly. I don't have the saves from when i was using my retail copy. So i am having to play the game through level by level. fortunetly I have most of the secret locations of the holocron cubes memorized, so progress is going quickly. I am currentky about 2/3 way finished with the first visit to raxus prime I have been getting most of the bonus objectives, so my power progression is on schedule too.

I will say this though..... I had forgotten how much fun playing 'Shock the Jawa' was. I just wish the jawa's were on every level

the slow motion thing might be caused windows 10. running the game on anything but 800x600 causes in game action to play in slow-mo. and of course it looks almost horible at 800x600 even with high detail active.
