Patch #4 is available now!
« on: June 27, 2017, 04:23:23 PM »
Turok2 1.5.5 is now pushed publicly to all (Steam & GOG). If you didn't want dedicated server support, two new game-modes and DirectX optimizations, you can no longer hide from it.
This build is different from the public beta if you happened to be on it, so take note anybody who was hosting servers during the beta.

Tnx, ed and to rest of dev crow. Wanna to say: original T2 mp, pc ver, stays best choice for player vs player, true competitive play, but with raptor fest, we getting best player vs ai experience, in remaster! That mod have best lag tolerance (ping less maters) and is extreme fun! So i would ask, others, members of forum, who are semi active or active players in Mp, what you think, guys and girls, about making tournament, in remaster, and playing raptor fest, on indirect competitive way, in near future? ;) Who wanna kill some monsters? I'm for it!

As a note, we've hotpatched Turok2 to 1.5.6, fixing some issues with uninitialized particle data. Dedicated server hosts will need to update as per usual.

Another update. Still 1.5.6, however German sounds/voices updated and some background technical updates too boring and nerdy for mortal man. Dedicated servers will need to update as the KPF updated.

"Reprocessed the N64 music, notably making it much smaller shaving off ~200MB, and we pushed it to public now to keep it in sync and it wasn't going to affect any versioning."
"Adding to what Edward said, the actual substantive change is that we boosted the volume by around 6 to 12 dB depending on the track, so it now matches the volume of the PC tracks."
