So, there was a lot of fuss about this patch, and it's easy to see why:

-------------------------
- Fixed resolution management on cinemascope bar.
- New flare's occlusion system and optimization on Flare's management.
- Fixed the "done" button on charactersheet which was not working on some resolutions.
- Fixed the text size on the credits.
- Interface isn't scaled.
- Add version string in the menu.
- Drawtext optimization.
- Fixed light rendering on cinematic.
- New resolution enable.
- New timer system for a better interpolation on animation/camera/movement. (see notes for AMD).

Okay I got it! Thanks!

Thanks for the patch and all, but um...where did this come from? Did you hack in the changes yourself?

[MLuukkonen]

It's likely that this is the patch that is included on the Good Old Games release of Arx. The author probably compared a clean installation of 1.18 and the GOG release and included any files that have changed.

At any rate, thank you for posting this!

furiousgeorge,
MLuukkonen speaks the truth.

Probably better to extract the patch 1.18 files, copy this over that and distribute that no?

WOW! A patch for Arx Fatalis! After all this time... I MUST play the game again... Damn... here goes a wasted reveillon.

I was able to finish Arx with this patch (retail version), after i turn on compatibility mode to win98 (to prevent fatal memory errors) :-) Thx!

ps. i'm on windows 7 64bit, c2d and radeon 4870

installed the patch, but i cant seem to run it on fullscreen. it always starts in a window, at 320x200.

edit - never mind, edited the cfg_default.ini file and now it works pretty neat

Thanks for the patch - always annoyed me that original buyers of the game had to spend another $6 to get the patch through buying the GOG game!
