Patch for the "other" Retails - Bou_Frost - 02-28-2008

PLEASE, make a patch for the other retail version of Penumbra too. I have no credit card and no payPal account, so, the only possibility to have this game was the retail version i've bought from amazon. The shaders are too crazy ... and on very low there is no dynamic lightning, and without this, the whole game sucks^^ ... PLEASE, don't let us "other" player alone !!!

Um, what? Patches should work regardless of where you bought it. What system specs you have?

IMPORTANT: This update is for Penumbra: Overture sold through our online store, Gamer's Gate and users of other online or retail CD versions should contact the publisher of their version for details on the patch.

Thats on the support site for the patches ... it's nothing about my specs ... my overture need no serial, but after the patch it wants one, but i have no serial, only the version from frictional itself has one ... and for black plague, it wont accept my DVD, it can't authentify if it is really the original ... and the installer take up to 10 minutes to start o.O ... so far for me ... ^^

For some reason, the 1.0.3 patch (unlike the previous two) only works with a specific downloadable version of the game. However, it can easily be modified to install the proper executable.
