Such luck! I was just thinking of playing this game and I found out that community kept it alive and updated over the years. It plays great! Last time I played it I was but a teenager.

Good to hear! We've been doing our best keeping the game alive trough all these years. Finally having a new patch again after so many years feels good.

If you're interested. We play multiplayer every weekend. We try to rotate between Friday, Saturday & Sunday. You can find us on Discord via the invite I posted in the original message. Alternatively, you can keep up with multiplayer events in our agenda over at the steam group:

Hey there. Wanted to drop a line and say that I'm impressed and more than a little overjoyed that this game is still so loved. Patch 1.5 has been installed without a hitch. I first played this back when it was released. It has remained in my mind as one of the very best games I've ever played, and ranks up there with Half Life and The Last Of Us (first one) as being one of the most enjoyable, well executed, and FUN games I've ever experienced. Hats off to you guys for keeping the dream alive. This is such a solid, fun game. THANK YOU.

Doing our best to keep the spirit alive! Thank you for the kind words!

amazing patch.

Mouse Speed Fix
Use -framelimit ###, replacing ### with your desired framerate to fix mouse speed issues (requires patch 1.5). This should be set to a consistently achievable framerate, as the mouse speed issues are caused by uneven frame pacing.

This was already an issue with earlier patches. Even unpatched on new machines.
You can also turn on VSync in the launcher, or use the Steam options.

Though, this is indeed a failsafe way to get your desired FPS. Steam will not always recognise the settings and VSync chooses for you.

Sadly this method does't work for me. Frame limit set to 60 or use of vsync or both. Mouse speed is or too slow or too fast. Playing on GOG wersion of the game but I think it does't matter.

No. It's an unofficial community patch.

Late reply. But it should be working. Be sure to launch the game with .exe you added the -framelimit command line to.

Does this patch add quick save/load?

Unfortunately, the person that makes the patch cannot mod the core game that much, as we do not have the source code available. The patch is just an upgrade to V1.497. It balances gameplay, and makes sure the game runs on Windows 10 and above.

To add to that. The Patch is created specifically for Multiplayer. Some of the rebalancing of weapons does carry over to singleplayer, but singeplayer is not being modded in any way.

How do you get the cheats to work on this patch?

The cheat codes had been removed from the game since V1.4 was released around 2001. This was the last official developer patch. The cheats were removed because they were a liability for multiplayer. With some hacking people were able to use them in online matches.
