Unfortunately "The Painter's Wife" doesn't seem to work for me. Halfway through loading the mission, the game crashes. Other missions work okay.
Are you using TheDarkModx64.exe, which is the 64-bit client? Many players have reported being unable to load the mission on the old 32-bit client (TheDarkMod.exe). There's a slimmed down version available in the release thread if you can only run 32-bit programs on your PC.

Hello, yes, indeed, thank you! But it won't flag me any updates ;-)
Maybe a Python script for that page?

Thank you for 2.08!!
(OP should change thread title to 2.08 ;) )
What's the difference in Shadows Implementation between Stencil and Maps?
Which one is better performance/quality?
When I switch from Stencil to Maps, I cannot see any graphical difference aside of lagging (especially when outside). When it's "Maps", performance is far better.

The biggest difference is that Shadow Maps support true "contact hardening" Percentage Closer Soft Shadows ( PCSS )
which Stencils only offer a distance to the light emitter softener.

Cheers, that did indeed solve the problem.

I updated and now I can't play any missions. What can I do to fix this?
lowenz on 20/7/2020 at 17:27
Make a clean installation or check the files and delete "darkmod.cfg" ;)

I updated to v 2.07 and now my system reboots after clicking on "start mission" telling me I had a power surge. What's going on?
lowenz on 20/7/2020 at 19:00
To 2.07? It's impossible, it's 2.08 now.
