Game doesn't work on wine, setting it up on nongdi mode (forcegdi=0) on the config cfg locks up linux, but leaving it as it is is unplayably slow.

Amazing to think that a patch has been released for a nine year old game! It just shows how much love was put into this game.
It's terrific to hear that the source code has been released. Are there any plans to release the editor Digi?

This is great news, I can (hopefully) finally continue on in the game and beatdown some of the errors I was getting.
One question - why now? A prelude to an Arx 2 announcement? Is it a coincidence that Digi just got a job working on a new title for Arkane? Hmmm...
(sorry, that's actually 3 questions).

I always figured the Arx editor to be Max and its ilk. Kinda like how it is with the pre-Amneisa HPL engine games.

The editor wasn't 100% owned by Arkane, which made a full public release of it impossible.
EDIT: after a short archeology expedition I found:

We'll probably release the tools we made ourself, but the 3DS importers will have to be made by somebody else :)
(Ooh, and that's a definite confirmation of the 'Max' assumption).
Given Raf's post was made over eight years ago, perhaps the owner of the original 3DS import library could be persuaded to release it to the public (perhaps only in lib form, or as dll or as part of the compiled executable..).

I could always just ask him about those tools/content. But as usual just because he's fine with it (and I am sure he would be) it doesn't mean that the guys who would actually do the work can afford to spend the time on it while also meeting all of their current project goals.
And yes, it's just a coincidence. :)

Wow! Great news! I was thinking about reinstalling and playing Arx not too long ago :)

Cool, I am dling the patch now. :angel::thumb::cheeky:

Unfortunately I'm still getting the ole "Fatal Memory Error," even with the patch. :( Really want to finish this game, might just try to grind thru and quicksave - a lot.

One thing I noticed is that the menu that comes up when you insert the cd is now blank. I had to close the launch window and use the new shortcut. Also I noticed that automap in the players view is turned on now. Other than that it looks good. :angel::thumb:
Edit 1: Ok dang it, how do you turn off the automap that is in the players view while playing? I searched the manual and can't find it.:confused: Thanks for any help!
Edit 2: Dang I figured it out right after posting. For those that may find themselves in the position I was in just press M for map to remove it or put it up...Doh!
