FAKK2 Patch Released

by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 14, 2000 5:14pm PDT

Ritual programmer Mark Dochtermann just sent the 1.01 patch for their 3rd person game Heavy Metal FAKK2 this way, which hopefully fixes the hardware and/or crashing problems some people have. It's a mere 3mb, get it here. As for fixes

- Crash or BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) on Exit should now be fixed on various versions of Windows.
- Crashes on cinematics should be fixed.
- Voodoo 2 support has been fixed.
- The OPENGL driver can now be selected from the advanced menu.
- The memory manager has been re-written to improve stability and eliminate some memory leaks.

I cant even install the patch on my machine cuz it says "Heavy Metal -FAKK2 is not installed on this machine. Version 1.01 patch setup will exit now." It says that right after the installshield wizard.. Did anyone else have that problem? or know how to fix it?

I'm really happy with this demo. I'm not a really big nonQuake gammer. I can probably count the number of demo's i've completed in my lifetime on one hand. This is the first one that i've completed this year. I think Fakk2 Rox. I just need to find the damn game now! I went looking for it twice last week and couldnt find it. After playing through the demo, i MUST have it now!

What about the demo? What exactly am I supposed to do to get the game underway?

I walk around, find some locked doors, find a generator room, see a tree with a rope, and a ship docked.

I can't seem to get any of this to lead to the next stage, so can someone lend a clue?

See my #13...I uninstalled FAKK2 after the patch fuxored the game but saved my previous games from the /save subdirectory. I reinstalled the entire game and pasted the saved games back into it, cranked FAKK2 up again and re-entered where I left off. PHEW! No patch for me until they get the "patch" working right.

They need to release a patch to add more polygons to the main character. Her ass looks like a cinderblock. (yeah, I enjoy CG n0rp)

How do you get past the opening level in the demo? I am running out of ideas, and it shouldn't be stumping me this soon.

Friggin patch borked the game. Keeps asking me to load the cd when it's already loaded. On quitting, all manner of shit happens. Mostly just locks my AMD 700/ABIT KA7-100/Geforce2 all to shit. Reboot required.
WTF? This fix is the worst and I know I'm not the only one borked by this "patch".
