enabled subtitles, fogging and weather effects (may be required by mods or fan missions - no more comments required) made autosaves and quicksaves NOT overwrite one another (reduces chances of people who forget to save losing progress - having one slot for autosave and quicksave is a terrible idea, so unterribled) this should make things run smoother, without FPS spikes and drops) enabled buffer limit (reduce lag - old engines usually don't like it too much when you let them run wild. this reduces that problem to pretty much nothingness) enabled new mantle (smooth climbing - climbing was slightly broken in oldDark, resulting in players falling off edges, and frustration. enabled FSAA by default (smooth edges - check wiki for what FSAA is) additive blending enabled for all explosion effects (makes the explosions NOT look terrible - NewDark makes explosions look way too sharp, addblend fixes this) Now the GOG fixes in the last build, adding extra comments support for modern resolutions (widescreen and eyefinity) 32bit color depth (improves textures, especially water and smoke effects) The GOG build uses the updated Dark Engine (NewDark), that means (a) I should read a few threads before posting (b) There seem to be lots of people like this and (c) JeCy's question is not exactly same, so I'd still be grateful for an answer of how GOG's version is different and what's this SS2tool I keep reading about. I searched around a bit, but got lost amongst all the information, and other than Wikipedia mentioning GOG's version being a "Collector's Edition" and the changelog mentioning a mysterious SS2tool, I'm not really sure where I stand.Ĭould anyone give me a TLDR version of how the version I got on GOG would be different from the classic version had I played it back in 1999/2000? As I said I'd rather have mine as close as possible to the original, with any ugly graphics, cumbersome controls and whatnot.ĮDIT: Well, what do you know, I just read a similar thread: I was therefore surprised that a 16 year old game is still getting updates, long time after the developer officially stopped working on it. I'm planning on playing this series soon, and I'm one of those purists who'd rather not try any remakes, enhanced versions or fan patches before playing the vanilla original at least once first, no matter how good or necessary they are or how they improve the playing experience.
