SpellForce - The Order of Dawn by Phenomic Game Development - retail v1.52 full patch
Version 1.52 - January 18th, 2004
Here's the release of a new patch for all language versions of SpellForce,
fixing some minor problems and logic issues. Also, the new netcode is now
really capable of handling several players with different language versions, both in coop and pvp games. The problem with Gold Edition and the second addon, Shadow of the Phoenix, making internet games impossible, was fixed too.
Version 1.38 - September 9th, 2004
- While storing, it sometimes occurred that the program crashed,
displaying the error message "buffersize too small". This no longer occurs.
- Sometimes certain savegames crashed when patch 1.35 was installed via
SpellForce TOoD without the addon. These savegames now function properly with
patch 1.38.
- Sometimes during Freeplay mode, the Avatar was declared invalid while
loading, if the player died right after rising one level, and then saved the
game. This no longer occurs.
- Languages were mixed up on computers when players with differing
language versions played against each other.
- Problems with Fog Spell have been fixed.
- Problems occurring in special cases when using the spells "Dominate"
and "Charm" have been fixed.
- The random function responsible for choosing the loot didn't pick
certain items at all. This has been fixed.
- A display problem with TFT displays that are called via DVI has also
been fixed.
Version 1.35 - July 20th, 2004
Free game: invalid avatars
If the user distributed remaining skill points while the avatar was respawning
(after having died in Free Game Mode), this could cause the character to become
invalid. The game refuses to load save games containing such characters.
It is no longer possible to distribute skill points during respawn.
Problem using several shield spells simultaneously: Auras not working:
Some auras would be ineffectual in such cases. This has been fixed.
Error message in Character Select menu if no save game has been created.
If the player quit the Character Select menu in order to reach the main menu,
and if no save game existed, an Access Violation could sometimes occur. This is
now working correctly.
Improved performance on Shal'Dun
After using the portals, performance problems sometimes occurred in this area.
This is no longer the case.
No more attacks vs. friendly units
It was previously possible to attack friendly units using the keyboard. This
has been fixed.
Portal travel during movie sequence
During ingame movie scenes, it was possible to enter a portal, potentially
causing a program crash. Now it is only possible to enter portals after the
scene.
Janina no longer follows
In rare cases, Janina would simply stand still instead of following the player
around. This has been fixed.
Spellfire problems in the Firefangs
If the player left the Firefangs area while the Spellfires quest was active,
and later returned in order to solve it, then it would sometimes not be
possible to solve this quest. This has been fixed.
Blocked units
In rare cases, the player's units would be blocked by neutral units, preventing
them from moving. With this patch, this will no longer happen. Unfortunately,
if your save game contains such a situation, it cannot be fixed.
Mirror sidequest
If you used the Altar before having found all three quest items, the quest
would become impossible to solve. This has been fixed.
* Fixed a bug in the sound system: Playing for a long time would occasionally
cause music and sound FX to stop.
* Shockwave: This spell is now more efficient against units with high
intelligence.
* Swapping runes during hero production sometimes caused heroes to lose their
equipment. This has been fixed.
* Avatars with extremely high attribute values could sometimes cause
calculation errors. This has been fixed..
* Installing the add-on would sometimes cause an error message in the map
Greydusk Vale (in the original Spellforce game). This has been fixed.
Version 1.11 - March 31st, 2004
- New convenience-functions: In the construction menu tool-tip of the
respective type of building, you can now see how many existing buildings you
have and how many are currently being built.
- Newly added soulstones are now named according to their position, even
when you load older saved-games.
- Now you can exchange hero runes directly. Therefore, it is no longer
necessary to remove a rune prior to inserting the new one.
- Some quest bugs are fixed.
Version 1.10 - February 18th, 2004
Among the features are:
- Over 30 new bindstones to improve travel time across the world of
SpellForce
- Sort function for the Inventory
- Auto-unequip for Heroes who are taken out of the runeboard
- New Difficulty Level "Hard": If you have already played SpellForce you
can find new challenges. More enemies..but also more rewards.
- New Soundoption for Surroundsound and four speakers.
- The Elfs now have all buildings available for Multiplayer.
- Female Avatar equipment now properly displays graphical effect
- Resource Cheat in Multiplayer resolved
Version 1.05 - December 22nd, 2003
- It wasn't possible to reach skill level 12 for the Avatar - this has
been fixed.
- The function Quickload has now been assigned to the key "F9"
- Old screenshots will not be overwritten anymore.
- An incorrect tooltip in the equipment dialog has been corrected (right
hand/left hand).
- A space in the installation directory path name led to a crash in
multiplayer mode.
- In 3rd Person-View, the avatar was attacked by his own long-distance
fighters in Follow-Mode.
- For matters of better differentiation, the hero runes are colored
according to the type of hero.
Version 1.03 - December 2nd, 2003
- When the player wants to learn the spell "Magic of Boons", the game
crashes. This has been fixed.
- At times it was possible that savegames lead to a system-crash during
the loading process or when you changed maps after loading a savegame. Now,
these savegames run again.
- In some cases, when the game crashes, the file logconsole.des could be
corrupt. Then the game will crash again the next time you start the game. After
patch 1.03, a corrupt logconsole.des file will not lead to additional crashes.
- Till now, there was no check in multiplayer mode, to make sure the
players were all using the same version of the program. When running different
versions, the only message that endlessly appeared, read "Please wait", and
appeared after the host started the game. From patch 1.03 on, an error message
will appear.
- The side quest Stonecrusher tended to fail: The dwarf did not demolish
the stone blocks. Now, the stone blocks are demolished every time (and
retroactively).
Version 1.02 - November 26th, 2003
- "Incompatible System Configuration" error messages during the game
installation process and game start appeared on systems with Intel-Chip Sets
with the Intel Application Accelerator (Intel Busmaster IDE-Driver) installed
and on nforce2-chipsets with ForceWare 3.13.
In order to install the game anyway, please start the v1.02 Update-Program -
this program will execute the game-installation program and thus, solve the
compatibility problem.
The error message "Incompatible System Configuration" is also triggered when
the "RMPS-Emulations Options" in virtual drives are turned on. These options
must be deactivated.
- The side quest character Goran did not give the player the promised
reward. Now he does.
- All multiplayer speech-versions have been brought up-to-date. The patch
is necessary in order to play against other players with different
speech-versions.
- Altogether, multiplayer parties run much smoother.
- Performance breakdowns sometimes occurred when ordering a direct attack
command on a long-distance target with several units. This has been fixed.
- Occasionally, the characters' Hitbars were still shown during dialogs
and were visually disturbing. Now the Hitbars are turned off during dialogs.
- At times, the shadows of the trees tended to flicker. This has been
fixed.
- When formations including fast and slow units were made, the faster
units always moved a bit ahead of the slower units, and then they would stop
and wait. Now, the fast units adjust their speed according to the slow units.
- A possible crash in multiplayer mode after long parties has been fixed.
