Found 2 little problems!
*Can't set to "0" the frame rate limiter (minimum is 10), to disable it.
*In-game V-Sync option no more working :| (neither forcing it in NVCP!)
EDIT: on a Window 8.1 PC, I'll try on a Windows 7 PC.

Confirmed, the problem is Win8.1 related.
Damn.

Oops - fixed, thanks!

It's working for me, on both the Intel and Nvidia side of my laptop - running Win8.1. But I've had a similar issue at one point, I think it was with the GOG version, which set the game to run as administrator or similar. Are you sure you're not running in a compatibility mode, or as administrator?

Oh my Garrett.
It's really the
WinXP SP2 compatibility option the cause.....WHY? :|

No idea, but it's fascinating how much trouble those 'compatibility' modes are on Win8.x - brightness not working, spurious windowed mode, broken vsync... :eww:

:p
What I wanted to say is that the empty endgame thing was IIRC related to a wrong game day integer, so this could indeed have been caused by a corrupted savegame (corrupted by stuff I had screwed up earlier). But I'll do a test myself anyway.
snobel on 8/11/2014 at 14:31
Sorry about that - space cleared...
While doing the screenshot stuff I came across the code that reads in the Flags and Ints values from savegames - so I'll try to correct the game day value in the Museum save that Shantih uploaded. We'll see if it's enough to fix the endgame...
Edit: Well things have certainly changed in Auldale... :ebil: I haven't played beyond the start but everyone who was affected by this bug should hold on to a Museum save if they want to finish the game properly. (No promises but things are looking good).

Edit: I've removed a requirement that you have to have read a note about the holy symbol and gear for the goal to be ticked off.
I'm getting this issue too (objective not ticked off even though I've recovered the chalice). Do you know which readables are required to be read to check off the objective? I've read several in the factory and barracks, and one in the main chapel area, that deal directly with the stamped gear/holy symbol topic, but none of them seem to complete the objective.
I'm guessing the fix you made (listed above in your quote) will be in a future release, 1.1 perhaps?
Beleg Cúthalion on 11/11/2014 at 10:45
IIRC there are a few readables that do the trick but once you've frobbed the respective objects the script cannot be triggered anymore. This should already be fixed in the current beta version of the SU but we're still testing a few other elements. You're welcome to help us but a "guaranteed" flawless T3Gold experience will still take a few weeks.

I've been meaning to check out this mod for a very long time now, but have been busy doing other things. However i had a couple of hours available today so thought why not........
And thank you Beleg Cúthalion and all the others involved, its a huge improvement...TDS is one of the very few games i have ever played more than twice even though the loading times were enough to make me want to throw my computer into the river in frustration....but now...:D:D:D

Thank you...I know what i'm doing tonight :thumb:
ps.... one thing i have noticed is that it will only allow me to play on normal, i can;t upgrade to expert can anyone advise me here please
