Sorry if this already has been asked, but will there be an option to turn off the advanced graphics effects introduced in TT 4.0? I have a computer good enough to play at a high FPS rate, it just doesn't go online. So I'm stuck on my low-spec machine. Will there be an option to turn off any new things that might slaughter my FPS?

Do me a favor and ignore all my posts before March 2009. March 2009 and after is fair game, though. ;D

I don't mean to sound like an ass about this, but "duh".

Saberhawk told me the new shaders system is lot less intense resource-wise. Thus, they should be able to run on lower-end systems. Wink

We know there are quite a lot of people who play Renegade with lower end systems and try to make sure TT runs fine for them as well.

Actually I believe that previously they were saying it would run better than the original Renegade, that still true?

There are quite some optimizations, so that's not unlikely. I haven't done any benchmarking or something so I can't tell you exactly... Wink

Yay! By-the-way, if I have the original unpatched retail release of Renegade completely unpatched, will I be able to just install Core Patch 3, or will I have to install 1037 and Core Patch 2 first? 1037 always crashes when it reaches RenRem or something along those lines. Haven't tried Core Patch 2, though. Wait, was I supposed to install them the other way round? Thanks in advance.

You install like this: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=24533&start=0&rid=3 134

When the patch comes out, you'll probably need to patch to 1.037 beforehand.

The installer always crashes on RenRem. It says "Patch error. Existing game files may have been modified. You should re-install the game from the CD." and "Verify of New File Failed. Possible Internal Error." Can anyone out up a zip of all the files that 1037 installs? Thanks in advance.

Do you have The First Decade? If so, your game is already patched up.

Try running renegade in compatibility mode if its crashing, usually admin rights or just XP setting will fix it (sometimes just closing IE fixed it for me as well...)

I tried it immediately, and it seems to have worked perfectly. Then my dad played CnC3 until 7:30. Then I played a practice skirmish. All patches are installed now. Thank you. Smile
