The work on the Arcanum High Resolution Patch is progressing nicely and a test version is mostly complete.

Awesome as per usual, great work Drog.

*squeal* I can't wait to play high-res Arcanum! Looks absolutely epic, as always. Kick ass work, Drog!

Looking forward to it Drog!

Drog, were you female, I would be begging to produce your babies. This looks amazing. Thank you very much.

Philes · **Posted:** Mon Mar 23, 2009 8:18 am **Post subject:**

I love your work about the patch, but this almost excites me more than all the content you've already fixed/restored/whatever'd.

Looking forward to it greatly!

Awesome Drog!
As always, thank you for all your work.

Woah. This might be awesome.

Drog Black Tooth · **Posted:** Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:23 am **Post subject:**

Added more screenshots of different resolutions.

Also, this.

Finally, my 1920x1200 widescreen will actually have the proper Arcanum ratios instead of forced stretching of a crappy 800x600 across a widescreen, screwing up the aspect ratios.

This + Drog's patch could be the final pushover that gets me to finish this damn game once and for all.

No rush buddy, you do this for free/fun/bribe money/whatever, but man......I'm looking forward to this pretty hardcore.

That looks amazing.

No more eyehurting.

Registered to show my respect to Drog Black Tooth. I should have done that earlier with first unofficial patch releases, but this pure extraction of awesomeness was the last drop. I wish every game had such enthusiastic person who will polish stuff for his own amusement.

Troika made incredibly good CRPG, but you made it perfect. I hope, once you finish with Arcanum you will check Baldur's Gate's modding possibilities.

Огромное спасибо за всё. Так держать!

Finally i can look further than just 10 steps.

Very good Droggy!
I am looking forward to it

So, I was courious Quin_Strabo..
When you decided to post in black, just how far up your ass was your head?

Yuki · **Posted:** Sat Mar 28, 2009 11:17 am **Post subject:**

I think it's still up there somewhere.

TheDavisChanger · **Posted:** Sun Mar 29, 2009 1:57 am **Post subject:**

As far as I'm concerned, Quin can keep his head wherever he likes. I like the black-on-garnet.

Vorak · **Joined:** Sep 15, 2003 **Posts:** 5687

Problem solved.

Quin_Strabo · **Joined:** Jan 22, 2009 **Posts:** 3

OK. What happened.... and why does my head have to be anywhere... I thought the whole black on red thing looked good... What, is there some kinda rule or something?

Vorak · **Joined:** Sep 15, 2003 **Posts:** 5687

There is now.

It took me a moment to realize something was different.

Everyone's head has to be somewhere. Where your's was when you came up with the idea of post in black text on dark background was the issue.
Rule: no. Common sense: required.

I stand corrected.
Rule: yes.
Thus it was spoken by Vorak Tree Bane.

Since the tree supposedly took the life of DE recently, I'm not sure if he deserves the name "Tree Bane".

He has yet to kill the tree.

Who says theres only one tree?

Sorry, I thought about for like two seconds... I thought it was to be over a red background, but it was my first post here so WTF do I know... Since no one had the since to, I don't know, tell me to correct it, highlight it to read it if it was on a black background, re post it as a quote while making fun of me for it, or anything... other than removing it... thanks allot. BTW is it gone forever? I forgot exactly what I said, but I remember that it was very nicely put together, in my opinion.

Anyway... Drog, any details on how to personalize the resolution, e.g. some kind of menu or the use of a hex editor (I really don't know how it works, can you tell?), or do we just have to wait for the release and any idea when that's going to happen? Thank you "again" for taking the time to do it.

What's this about a Tree Bane?

wobbler · **Posted:** Mon Mar 30, 2009 10:01 am **Post subject:**

Ah, but do have any proof that you have killed a tree?

Leave and learn quin.

Drog Black Tooth · **Posted:** Mon Mar 30, 2009 10:11 am **Post subject:**

The actual patch has been completed now. All interface related bugs and issues have been resolved, and everything seems to be working correctly in any resolution. I'm playtesting the game now to check if there are any content related issues. You can expect the release in a week or so.

Quin_Strabo:
The program asks you for the desired width and height, and then it patches the game accordingly. It uses formulas, so everything will be perfectly centered in any resolution.

ITZ COMING!!
