Not sure what that could be, lemme dig around the net a bit.The DCoTEPatch.exe doesn't have to be in the game folder to run though.You did get it from http://www.svcklead.com/DCoTEPatch.exe didn't you?

Yes, that's where I got it.I put it in the game folder because it didn't work from my download folder.

I didn't want to scroll through all 17 pages of this post, so I'm just posting to ask: what does the patch do? I downloaded it, but it was from a site with no info, and the patch didn't come with any kind of readme file. What exactly does the patch patch?

The first page will tell you all you need to know.

1: You can modify run, crawl, duck, jump, sneak heights/speeds.2: You can modify weapon values including magazine / clip limit, power per shot, projectiles per shot.3: You can enable tonnes of developer options, devload, arm reach (see page 1) god mode, fly mode and debug mode.4: You can have fun with it.

I found the problem : the patch MUST be downloaded with Internet Explorer.I used Firefox for the previous downloads ; the patch was somehow corrupted.Now, I'd like to finish the game once before using the patch. Barely over 20 % ...

I've grabbed it with IE6/IE7/firefox and its been ok :/I would recommend trying the hand mod the first time through though, if you find it a problem turn it off but it really does add something

Ok, I'll enable the hand mod.One question, though. What is the release mode ? What does mean "Dev Continue" ?

Dev continue means when you die it allows you to spawn again from where you died.

How exactly do you use the patch on the xbox version?

Well I've spent some more time trying to get the D2D version working and lol it made my brain bleed:)I am now recovered after some Guinness and hoping xbill can come up with something.beer > reverse engineering

I can't seem to download the patch.I tried the right click menu option "save target as" from the link on xbill's posts, but that would only let me save an htm file, I tried opening it and using file->save as but that too was only a htm file. I've tried renaming the file through both the above but neither works. Annoyingly, I originally had a working version of dcotepatch but it kept causing graphics problems (or the game was bugged I can't really say) part of why I stop playing the game. I later got a new version of the patch to see if anything had been fixed anywhere, but this newer version didn't let me change anything and I didn't want to go through the first few sections to find I can't see anything but a flat screen of brown once I hit jailbreak. Now I get the same error reported by the first poster on this page, a dos window pops up and then closes.I'm running an EU version (at least i'm in the EU so I think it is) and I have updated graphics and sound drivers today.

Ack.Since I have helped (or damnwell tried to) a lot of people, could someone do me the favour or zipping (not rarring, I'm on another persons computer and they won't install winrar ><) the most recent dcote patch? My browser gets the error regardless of whether I just left click, manually enter the link, etcIn return for the service, I'll make this face 8D How's that?

I've put a zip on the site at:http://www.svcklead.com/DCoTEPatch.zipIf that doesn't work try using:http://svcklead.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DCoTEPatch.zip

Much appreciated 8D

Wait, in the first panel, have you loaded the EXE? I made the mistake of forgetting, everything was greyed out.In the first panel, hit "Load" up the top left of the patcher. Select CoCwinmain32.exe or whatever and patch away Remember to hit save too.Did that help?

The patch seems to be hanging for me - I run it and get a command prompt window that remains blank.I have installed .NET framework 1.1Any ideas?Thanks again,TCfOS

I gotta say, a great patch, great patch. It's been a while since I've visited these forums and your patch came as a nice surprise. Nice job guys!Still, I got a few questions to ask about your patch, I'm not sure if these have been asked before, I tried to search for them but found nothing. I've been wondering what this "treatment time overhead" does, can you clarify it a bit?Also, the treatment times for bandage, suture and splint don't seem to change ingame although I give them the highest values (9,9). I never liked the treatment times being so low. It felt stupid when you could apply sutures and splints in a matter of seconds even during a battle when in reality it would take much, much longer. I'd like to get the treatment times very high so that I would actually need to avoid damage in battle if I didn't want spend a whole lot of time bandaging and patching myself back into condition.

The patch does not work for me - I get an error message saying that "The program was not succesfully(*) initialized (0x0000135). Press OK to execute the program" Is there somewehere else to downlaod the patch from than svckleads site? I have a feeling that there's something wrong with the exe.* My error message is in norwegian, so I can't translate it right.

You need to have the 1.1 .NET framework installed.Heres a link:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=no&FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3

Try downloading the zipped version see if that helps:http://www.svcklead.com/DCoTEPatch.zip

Is there a readme for this patch or anything? I don't really like running EXEs when I have no idea what they're going to do?

I've run it now. Didn't realise there would be an info screen at execution Anyway, I have a question: Is it possible to turn off the greying noise overlay that is persistant through the whole game? I read earlier in the thread that someone mentioned it (I think xbill), but then dismissed it in their next post. I know it's there to add atmosphere and make the game look "old", but I find it very annoying and would rather see a nice crisp image without it.

If you tick the "Disable Filmgrain/Letterbox on cutscenes" option that should do what you want from what I remember.

I tried it, but I don't think it did. I'll check again though and take some screenshots to compare.EDIT: Just took 2 screenies with the 'Filmgrain/Letterbox' option on and off, with no difference in image. I think the cinematics add a secondary grain filter over the already-present in-game grain, which makes it more noticable. It's that secondary filter that the option is removing. It leaves the in-game filter intact however.
