Thank you for the patch. It is a lifesaver. I couln't finish some parts of the game (shoggoth, final escape, etc.), but with a running speed increase of 15% it was (just) possible.It is also an eye-opener regarding the crappy game mechanics. A Tommy Gun doing 8 damage per hit, a 1911 doing 20 with the same ammo and a shorter barrel :( The revolver (probably a .38, not "special") doing 36 :(

svcklead, can you figure out a way to extract models or basically anything from .pc.naf/xbd files? There's a few files that can't be opened because they dont contain textures, just models and junk, and I guess it would be freaking sweet if we could get the mauser c96 or something back in game!

Ah Cheers.In that case, let me know when you have plenty of spare time in the future. I might try planting some features into the coop mod.

Anyone notice the arm animation really screws with how doors work?it makes quickly getting behind a door and locking it overly tricky.BTW love this trainer/tweaker/patcher thing! since enemies do not drop ammo one can chose their own way to dealing with a situation with the inf ammo code!

Even after completing the game 93 times (yes, I'm almost at 100), I still haven't hit the bonus content, but I get so caught up in investigating and looking for unnoticed things, I usually discover something new each time.

'Kay, I hope this doesn't sound like a noobie question, but how do I get the patch to work for my xbox? Do I just put the game into my PC's drive? I tried that, and the only folder I found in the disk was "VIDEO-TS" Please, I'm about as electronically inclined as your average Joe, but if someone could help me out by explaining to me how I'm supposed to install this, I'd appreciate it.

Ah, unfortunately this is a patch for the PC version of the game only. There's really no simple way to fix/alter an Xbox game sadly. The actual programs on a PC or Xbox disk are quite different and the one wouldn't work on the other. Like how a PC program wouldn't work on a Mac, that sort of thing. It's a shame really since both Windows and Xbox are from Microsoft you'dve thought it might have been a good idea for them to make both things play nice together ;-)Alli

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the filmgrain/letterbox when you use your first aid kit, just like you can do that for the cutscenes?

Sorry for stupid question, but how to enable 'Run' ? I've noticed fields 'Walk Speed' and 'Run speed' - but have no idea what key toggles run mode. Please, help!

The Thompson M1921 uses .45 ACP, as does the revolver(M1917) and the pistol(M1911). Completely interchangeable. The Thompson should indeed do more damage than the pistol, if only slightly.

Quick note about the Steam version.The xml is at the same position in the exe.However the exe can't be modified using a hex editor or the patch thingy.Any changes cause error "3:0000065432".Good news is that unlike the D2D version the original release exe will work fine with the steam downloaded data files :)You just need to get hold of the original CoCMainWin32.exe which, as it would remove any copy protection also, is a bit of a legal shmegal subject.Thats 3 versions of the game I now own just need the xbox one for the set!

Hi! I'm new to these forums!I tried the patch, but it doesn't allow me save anywhere. I type F1, select save game, pick a save game slot to save to, and it returns me to the game without saying it saved.If I do a load game at that point, the savegame slot description text hasn't been updated, and loading it just loads what was previously saved, un-updated.What's the trick to get save anywhere to work?Please let me know,Thanks!

Please excuse my bumping. I'd like to know if I can have a list of the features this patch has. It would be useful to post such a list for the users who are new to this forum, so that they don't have to bump old threads. I'd also like to know if it removes the A-rank requirement for the game's extended ending cinematic.

I apologize again.
