It does run a patch to unpack and repack the data after installation as far as I saw (Which is commonly detected as some "generic" something trojan like a keygen or even trainer to use other examples.), nothing else was altered, depends on source though.

Nothing wrong with the Theta release (they have always been virus-free, clean and credible). Playing the game here just fine. It's probably your anti-virus which is giving you false alarms.

dont know though, how can you be sure, anything grabbed from a google link is likely to be bogus if its from a russky download link transfer.. Very Happy

either way you dont get nforeader.exe files with games is all im saying lol Very Happy gay as fuck..

I will also wait for a clean version that pops up on usenet..

your views of saying theta are always virus free and your playing the game fine is a bit silly really, as neither of those comments are 100% secure.. plenty of games with a release branded name can be played fine and still be running a virus in the background... Rolling Eyes

Till now I have probably played a dozen Theta-released games. And have never had even a slightly minor problem with them. But suit yourself. Another release is a bit unlikely to come out.

It's funny how people always complain about the AI cheating, but when they get the same unbelievable combos, it was just "mad skillz". Laughing


Might be because they're consistently getting "lucky" in every battle multiple times.

At least the AI sometimes misses 4 in a row etc. to make it feel more human.

must use some odd default res or refresh rate. Kicks my tv into "invalid mode". Registry entries haven't been created yet (other than the empty infinite interactive/puzzle quest 2 entry) so nothing to edit to change it yet.

Here you go mate, should help you as I've set the game to windowed and a 1600xsomething resolution. If you need me to make a custom one with the resolution you want and fullscreen/windowed, go ahead and ask, I'll be glad to make one.

excellent. I set the resolution to 09 (800x600) and can start it in windowed mode. Looks like it's not properly detecting what my monitor can display as 1366x768 is greyed out in the otpions. Oh well, windowed works for me. Smile

Hrmm, I'm using the (virus-free) Theta release and I'm currently stuck at the "Find King Godd's Door" quest. I got the required symbol, I stand right in front of the friggin door, but it just tells me that it's shut tight and that there's no way to open it. Apparently I'm also not the only one having this problem:

Soo i tried this game, and i think its a pathetic piece of shit.
It has the same crap like the previous ones - the bullshit ai makes unbelievable combos - with gems falling conveniently so he can make loads of chains one after another.

Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

it's not evne you bro, it's a bunch of us, the AI in this has a ridiculous amount of "luck" where it knows when to get all the combo's that ends up letting it get all the skulls which when done does another turn combo then does all it's tiny bite combo's etc.

They really fucked up the computer on this one. How convenient they don't have an email addy or forum to bitch at them about

I had a lot of trouble as the Assassin character, so I started a Templar.
Once I had my first 4 spells I was pretty much untouchable apart from the special bosses that took some strategy (Yeti, Ogre, Arch Lich). The key is to distribute your stats fairly evenly, apart from perhaps one category, and use skills that complement each other.

But yea, the AI cheats like a motherfucker. Once you're geared up it doesn't matter (at least on Normal, haven't played Hard).

Armor helps a lot also. Your defense value is the % chance that you take half damage (block successfully). Couple that with the Templar's 75% damage reduction skill, and he pretty much never dies


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Took me MANY times to get past the rats in the ice cave or whatever the fuck it is with a Sorcerer. i finally left, went into town, bought some item (dagger) that will poison them for 3 points every round. Then I got a shield. I cast ANY damage spell against them i have plus I use some spell that keeps them from using their slotted items for 3 rounds. Managed to beat them after that but it wasn't easy.

Ya the assassin is pretty much gimped but I Refuse to start over. you can tell damn well how much this AI cheats cause it can have a move to get 4 skulls in a row, 3 in a row even with the dmg multiplier but it NEVER goes for it, what does it do? it moves this single gem that gets a crap load of combos then it'll do the skulls.

Obvious cheater is OBVIOUS!

Yep. i will see it do a move and i think "Bahaha! I will have that 4 in a row next turn" but it never happens. He hits with a plethora of shit.
YET. . . with the cheating of the AI. . . still I am hooked. Lol.
I guess that means it is a good game despite it.
