Damn, that's some heavy editing for anyone.
However I heard about some people getting some sort of tools via e-mail.
:nono:

Just thought I would let you know that the 1.18 patch is out. The funny thing is its not on jowoods site, I had to take a round about way from their forums through another website to filefront.

installed the patch (and the game too, hehe) and man, one very annoying thing i always had to suffer was the jowood intro. the game would take me to the desktop and i had to wait for the logo movie or whatever to finish and then it would take me back to the game.

the last time i played arx though, i realized i could install the indeo drivers or whatever, and it would be fixed.

now it all works nicely :)

This 1.18 version will allow player already owning Arx Fatalis to benefit from the latest improvements included in the "Collector Edition", especially the compatibility with the latest hardware configurations.

Fix list:
- Fixed D3D texture creation that triggered white textured objects / Characters on recent hardware configurations.
- Fixed a crash on TNL Bump Mapping management.

- Fixed several memory leaks.
- Fixed the text font not being displayed on recent hardware configurations.
- Fixed a specific crash on spells use.
- Tweaked the Fireball spell damage rule, to make it less powerful & more balanced.
- Fixed a bug where the game would quit if the ESC key was pressed during the New Game fade to black.

French, English, German, Italian and Russian version of the files can be downloaded on those sites:

And just to confirm that, as expected, the patch does not do anything about the coronas-through-walls issue with the nVidia GF8x00 series video cards.

to answer the question about Arx's compatibility w/Windows Vista...I can confirm on MY laptop (Celeron M 440, 1 gig DDR 2 dual channel, graphics handled by a Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family) it runs flawlessly.

edit:can I get a link to the 1.18 patch?

Please for the love of god come out in the US. It's nearly impossible finding a new copy of Arx, and mine disappeared a long with a case of pre-2003 games that I had.
