i'm at my wits end. every time i launch the game it crashes saying i need to update my windows media 8 codecs. fucking intro movies. weird thing is i can open the intro movies and play them with wmp but they won't play when the game starts.

i have it on steam but i might get it on gog just to see if the problem persists. i didn't have this problem until i upgraded my motherboard a few months ago.

Pathologic 2 will be on source
normal patologic is on some other engine
It is possible to speed up both game time (resulting in faster everything) or just walk speed
if anything, you should only use former

And yes, you can use console commands to speed up the whole game or just the walking speed.

will speed up everything by 33%

will make the world (and only the world, not you) slower, so combine with the above to only increase walking speed.

Hey anon, I remember you from the other thread. Sorry I wasn't able to reply before it archived.

If you've got the codecs installed and the files are playing through WMP you may want to go through some of the usual suspects. Changing the affinity of precessor cores so that it uses just one. Running the program as an administrator and try running in Win7 compatibility. Good luck actor.

Especially when considering that almost none of the original IPL people had any prior gamedev experience.
It's pretty funny to hear them talk about it too :

So, when is Pathologic 2 coming out?
And why is it called Pathologic 2?

>>389880746
>So, when is Pathologic 2 coming out?

>And why is it called Pathologic 2?
Cause they want each game to be discussed on their own merits and not be confused together. That and to let the normalfags to not get too confused.

Hello, my dear steppebros.
As you've surely noticed, there's been quite a bit of confusion since they changed the name to pathologic 2.
>Is it a sequel ?
>Did they cancel the remake ?
>This looks good, but do I need to play the first one before ?
On top of that, people unfamiliar with Pathologic already get easily confused by the different versions : Pathologic, Pathologic Classic HD, Pathologic the Marble Nest, and now Pathologic 2...

For that reason, in the thread last week, I decided to make a new infographic, to give a detailed explanation about all these different versions, and tell new players why they should or shouldn't play classic HD before Pathologic 2.
Here it is, still in progress. Any thoughts or suggestions ?

The text explaining each game will be next to the covers.
I also plan on adding more runes at the top.

>>389880746
I think the reasoning behind the 2 is that what they wanted to do with Pathologic they wern't able to initially, this time they're hoping to be able to. It's the 2nd attempt at realising what they wanted to do. I get why they chose the 2 but given sequel naming conventions it has differnent connotations for the rest of us.

>>389881449
Good to see you again steppe-bro. It's coming along nicely. As a suggestion, might be worth having the images all be the same size and alligned together.

>>389881449
Eyy, I remember you.

I would say that you need to use a diffrent sized font for the text so that the lorem ipsum doesn't blend in with the game titles. So either make the titles bigger, the descriptions noticable smaller or use two different fonts,

I'll do that for the last 3, but the first one has a stupid shape.

>>389881860
Yup, that makes sense. Any particular font you want to see ? I've used this one for the titles,
>http://www.dafont.com/linux-libertine.font
but it works better for block of text, so I think I'll use it on the description instead. And the titles will be some other font, and bigger, and maybe a slightly different color too.

>>389881449
Not a deal breaker but fix the aspect ratios of last 3 images. Otherwise it looks good.

We will see that when the game comes out. They can market it all they want but in the end Pathologic must be a harsh and unforgiving experience and that will probably filter the masses. Also IPL needs this kinda publicity, as long as they don't sacrifice their vision for the game (which I highly doubt they ever will).

if you're willing to fuck around with python you can edit pathologic dialogue, but it's slightly tedious and the game already has a somewhat decent english translation so i don't think anyone's bothered with it since classic hd came out

i wanted to fix some of the typos since classic hd still reads like it was never gone over by a native english speaker but god knows when that'll happen

if you look around a bit you can dig up old translation projects people were working on, and if you're lucky vlad might show up and clarify

Maybe a version of the menu background for the original release of the game?

So if Pathologic 2 will be a remake, should I still play through the original (actually Classic HD), or just wait for a new one? I played some of it and liked it, but it's a bit too slow and empty so I lost a desire to finish it.

>>389884020

Is that the parser to remove all the blanks from the script file ? I can access all the other resource files easily enough, but that part always stumped me.

>>389884281
They've made clear that this is not a "remake" because there is new content and it will be a new experience.
Still sounds like a remake to me, just a good one that doesn't try to be a 1:1 copy. Like REmake.
From what gameplay we've seen of "Pathologic 2", it seems like it will still be slow and empty, so, I mean. . . .

Short anwser - we don't know as the remake is not out

Long anwser - If you liked the original enough to only be detered by how slow it was, I'd advise you to just get yourself a week or so just to finish one route. It's true that the more you postpone returning to it, the less you want to do it. It's not a traditionally fun game. But hey, winter is just around the corner and I always found the long, cold nights to be perfect for me to feel like returning to that cursed town.

>>389884281
I'd keep playing it. I'm biased as I played through the original and classic HD versions but you should get a lot out of the game, it'll likely make you even more eager for the remake/reimagining.

I'll consider it, but I prefer to have the cover picture, as that's what people see when they search for it.

>>389884281
Work is under way to answer all such questions once and for all, in one nifty picture.
In the meantime, have a copypasta from previous threads :

The short answer is, we don't know. Nobody knows.

The long answer is : original Pathologic will ALWAYS be worth playing. However, it's not easy to get into, and has its fair share of flaws. Our collective hope is that the new Pathologic (I refuse to call it Pathologic 2) will not only improve on those shortcomings, but also retain everything that made the old game so unique. If that hapens, then the old pathologic will effectively be made redundant, and we safely say "just play the remake".
But nobody knows if that will happen. Nobody knows what the new Pathologic will be like.
So, until release day, I can only tell you this : play the old pathologic; if you can't get into it, try the demo for the new pathologic.
On top of all that, while both games share the same setting, the story will - supposedly - be different enough to warrant playing both games.

And of course, if you decide to play old Pathologic, don't actually play the original 2005 release. Play "Pathologic : classic HD"

That would be nice. Something where you see the branching dialogues for each character on each day ?
Organizing it would be tedious though, because the script in the gamefiles isn't ordered or commented - You'd have to recognize who says each sentence, when, and in what context.

>>389886659
Nope, Pathologic came first. You can tell that they already had some experience when making Turgor/the Void, alteast compared to OG pathologic.

Is there anywhere to find a complete transcript of the game's text short of poking around in the files? With books, once you've read it if you want to go back and reread a passage you can just thumb through to the right page, but Pathologic is not so easy.
