What a waste of 7GB lol...


For you maybe... I just sat playing this thing for 8 hours straight online... was great fun.
Most fun i have had in a really long time actually. Course, it helps that my stepson and I get along great and he likes it as well so i am always going to hagve someone to group with. Grouping changes things dramatically.

Course, if you don;t like blowing shit up, killing creatures non stop, and collecting loot, then it probly wont float your boat.

I found My halloween stuff tonight... the visage helmet and the zombie pet thingie. the visage helmet is pretty cool and worth finding. Zombot is just something to look at really and not much use.


Oh sorry, i forgot to say that i didn't play it online. Games for me are mostly about SP campaign because i like to see where goes the imagination of the devs, etc
And i didn't like it...

I forgot to say that i played it in Vista and had some problems. For it to start it made me download a patch for Vista from Microsof lol Razz
Then when i started it, the same thing appeared 2 or 3 times like for example "Nvidiaaaaaaaa the way it meant to be played!" Laughing
And then in the game, i tried to activate dx10 because i have a 8600GT but the game would crash every time Laughing

I thought you didn't need to activate DX10? I have 2 exes, 1 for DX9 and the other for DX10. Try using the DX10 exe and see if that works.

Thanks for the idea but it's to late now. The game was already deleted. Cool

Found a file unpacker.
http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?t=2830

It works just fine, used it to remove the logo and intro videos.
(Looked up the names of all the logo and intro videos and overwrote those with blank BIK files, didn't remove the introduction cinematic but it can easily be done.)

EDIT: Testing the above ingame it seems the game only reads those archive files, would have been nice to get rid of the logo videos.

@JBeckman
Are you trying to fit this on a DVD5? If so, good idea! Smile

I mainly attempted to disable the videos that run when you start the game, beats pressing ESC five times but it didn't really work. Sad

The file structure on the DVD is a little different than usual with all files already available via the DVD but with two separate installers for either X86 or X64 and a main installer which launches the appropriate setup file depending on the users computer.
(X86 or X64 OS.)

I'd guess it would be possible to split the files but perhaps it would be better to just burn the installed game on two DVD discs together with a exporter registry entry and copy/paste install the game. Confused
(Similar to those old rip releases.)

Is there a way to run this game on XP Service Pack 1? SP2 crashes Windows for me


No. the game requires some stuff from SP2 to work.
People on the beta were asking the same thing. That was the response from the Devs. . . in a nutshell.

Awesome find there. The unpacker works with Mythos aswell, seems like they used exactly the same encryption key there.

edit: I just messed around with the movies aswell and got rid of them successfully. I just moved the files hellgate_movies, hellgate_movieshigh and hellgate_movieslow to another directory to test, game booted directly into the main menu, no errors. Easy. Very Happy

The game has some pretty annoying issues, for instance alot of problems from the beta are still in the game even though the first patch has been released.

There's those memory leaks which just gets worse the more you play which is quite evident as the graphics quality will be reduced quite a bit, even the inventory icons will look like crap once this happens not to mention the enviroments, characters and monsters albeit the player character will still look OK.

You can just read the official forums, alot of people complaining about all sorts of issues there albeit these memory leaks and reduced detail are the main problems for me.

The beta did help quite a lot though. You will notice that once you hit act4 (which was off limits in beta). Lots of quest lines are wrong, easily bugged or broken. Just read through the quest bug reports, most are from act4. I am not sure if I should stop playing as a safety measure till a new patch arrives :/

WTF!!! That is just wrong! I hope they get the new patch out quick! I am going to be playing this game all weekend and don't want to worry about ActIV quests being broken.

Patch for single player is out.
Essentially, without the patch, you are playing with the beta code and none of the patch 0 code.

"A new patch for single player has just gone live, hence the "Update Available" you might be seeing in the game launcher. What's this patch include? Essentially, it updates the single player game with Patch 0 content and features, given a few exceptions. These are:



None of the multiplayer-only features (guilds, PvP, Hardcore mode, etc.)
No Halloween-themed content
No subscriber-only features

What you do get is everything else including tuned game progression, NPC tweaks, Gossip, and Elite Mode. You can check out a detailed list of all the changes, minus the content above, here. Again, this feature is now live, so go on and download it! "

Since there is no HELLGATE LONDON tech-thread in the PC Games - Technical Area I am asking here.... has anybody got sound problems with Vista? I cant play the game since the sound is completely fucked up...stuttering and hanging samples etc. Sad

Soundcard is Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS. No other game got these weird problem with Vista.

By the way: is it possible to set the "hardware acceleration" of your sound device as you can in XP and 2000 ? I was searching for this feature but could not find it in Vista. maybe this is causing problems, too .... newest drivers are installed

thx for help Confused

I played for a while with 3 different classes, Got insanely bored because the skill selection blows like no other. I wouldn't put a point into 98% of the 3 classes skills i played, it be a waste of points.

I dunno about the rest of the classes didn't care to try. Off to the Witcher to give that a try.

Vista handles sound in a different way than XP and 2000. Check this thread for more info:

Edit: Wait, hold the phone, I rebooted and started the game back up and all my loot was still in my inventory! Smile I take back everything I said except I really do think a patch is needed so it doesn't crash ruining the experience. Otherwise, SWEET I HAVE MY LOOT!!! Smile

What a huge disappointment I just experienced!!! WTF! Needs a patch......ok..settle down. I just beat this boss in the first portal and he spawned some nice stuff. I made a portal back to the station and sold/upgraded my stuff. I had $2000 after selling my stuff. I right click on my weapon to mod it and it crashes. I lost 2 hours of gaming. GASP! I cannot believe this. I never have problems, only with this game. I tried to start it back up and it wouldn't. I am going to have to reboot. Man, I am pissed, I was having so much fun!!! Talk about experiencing both sides of the emotional spectrum!! LOL! Oh well, if they patch these problems I am going to have a great time. The game is good enough to start right backup again. Next time I kill that boss I am going to sell, go back and get the rest of the loot and then exit the game. Don't want to get stuck in a endless loop of gaming for hours and then losing that time. I hate that you cannot save when ever you want.
