Hopefully it wont be like the Russian 1.5.04 patch which (supposedly) breaks area transitions and the entire main quest :D

Download starten!

If this fixes it I will be so happy. Because I can't even load the game up I don't have much hope however.

Edit: No, still BSOD on splash screen. :x

Hmmm, I think I should probably give this a sweep sometime.

Is this the first patch?, or another new one?

If you've ejaculated, surely you've already lost control?

Pfft, who changed that? That said ejaculations last night it did.

Well, the patch seems to have fixed the 30-second crashing problem I had, infact it's been pretty smooth without many noticable glitches.

I only played up until you climb the tower and the ejaculation comes, which was a bit disappointing. I thought the ejaculations would be more spectacular, but there's like a storm on the horizon which was where I thought the ejaculation was going to come from, but when the ejaculation hits, it just goes a bit staticy, people die then it goes red and I black out. I'd expected ejaculations to be a bit more like the ejaculation in the intro video - that was a most pleasing ejaculation.

:lol: new favourite swear felcher. :)

The ejaculations are just the same as the blowouts in SoC, nice scary threat, but basically disappointing.

Hopefully the ejaculations will be used to better effect in CS, They worked nicely in the OL mod, on more than one occasion I barely made it to safety.

Also, the whole of the swamp (IME) runs like shit and should be treated as a training area, nothing more.

I conker. The opening vid made a convincing case as to why you should run like a motherfucker. Actually standing about and doing very little takes less effort. Given I've never been fully clear on what cover even counts, I generally climb into some shitty house and watch things fall over permanently. Has anyone climbed into some scabby rail cart thing and been 'in cover'?

Play the first 5 minutes of CS to discover that.

In the OL mod, I found you had to be pretty well covered to survive, but I usually ended following NPCs, because that's the sensible thing to do.

I got in the house next to the tower, but that first one's probably scripted anyway.

Seems I spoke too soon anyway, it BSODed blaming the nVidia drivers (175.19) when I stepped outside after talking to Nimble. Can't really be arsed with that.

And yeah, there appears to be many, many issues with it, which is really disappointing.

But I'm fine, so there :)
