Known Issues
There are a few known issues about this patch, which will likely be resolved in the next patch.

• This patch was (accidentily?) installed with a no dvd crack, but that crack didn't hold into account that with LAN play, there can be random dvd checks every once a while. Because the exe was adjusted, it will cause the game to crash. This is only an issue with multiplayer. To circumvent this problem, you can simply back up the original "tqit.exe" and use it to write over the "tqit.exe" that came with the patch. Nothing will be lost. This will be the course of action we'll take in the upcoming patch
• If you install this patch on a Steam version of the game, the version number will not change, but the patch will apply if the installer says it's succesful. That's because Steam uses a slightly different engine.dll and therefore does not get injected. In the engine.dll the version number is stored. This also makes it impossible for Steam games to connect to retail games, unless the engine.dll's are the same.
• Although this patch fixes a lot of broken stuff, one bug slipped in, this made traps less effective. A fix can be found here. This is only useful for people who use traps and you can't play with others who have 1.16 installed anymore. We advice backing up your patched database if you use this fix, as we do not give support for adjusted databases in future patches.
• Some people have reported that they can't get the installer to work. You have to make sure you don't have any mods installed that affect the files in the TQIT root directory (or use mods through Defiler, as that adjusts .dll files). If that's not the case, try placing the installer in your TQIT root directory (e.g. c:\Program Files\Titan Quest Immortal Throne) and run it again.
• Avast Antivirus could give a warning that it detected a trojan. This is a false positive, which happens a lot on anti-virus programs. For more info, click here

Well, I guess I better pass this along... it does not seem to install for me - it says Titan Quest Immortal Throne could not be located on your system. Please reinstall and try again (or something to that effect...)

Now I know I am not installed in the default directory or drive, but all the other fan patches have installed without a hitch so you may want to look at the installer and see if there is anything happening with whatever determines the location of the game prior to installation of the fanpatch...

I'll wait for a response before trying anything different - I really don't want to go through the hassle of a reinstall if I don't have to...

[Viper_Sweden]

I have the same problem, tried reinstalling and it didn't help.

[yerkyerk]

Well I'll wait some more.

The problem is that luedtke made the first installer - I don't know how she did it.
I've tried to let it choose paths, but that somehow doesn't work.

EDIT; are you guys sure you have the normal (1.15) database installed? It won't work with edited databases, like the DoN mod.

[FHEN]

Hades Generals Quest now finally works like it should. Note: if you didn't get the quest reward from 1.15, talk to horse guy in the beginning of the game.
- Stygian Lurker Quest; if you did the quest but didn't get properly rewarded, talk to horse guy in the beginning of the game.

1)in Helos or in Rhodes?
2)But do I have to talk everytime I play the game or after the quest or before the quest?

[yerkyerk]

You only have to talk to them once, and it's in the absolute beginning of the game. Forgot the name of the village..

Did it install for you?

Btw, I did a complete reinstall just in case, but it installed normally for me.
If it doesn't work for people with a clean install (with v1.15 installed on top of the clean install), I'll be putting up the manual installation files.

[fathersquid]

Well I have no modified databases installed.... it may not be a bad idea to put up the manual install files anyway if possible...

[Knivel]

It worked as expected for me, Installation sucessful!
I entered the game and confirmed that Ravages of Time is an active skill now, so it should be all right.

The only glitch is that in the main menu, it still displays 1.1.15RC!

[yerkyerk]

Well yea, it's in the readme. We couldn't get the version number to change without lued. But if you look carefully around in the main menu screen you should notice a difference.

[gorgus]

this is the message i get


my game IS installed in the default path (C:\Program Files\THQ\.... et cetera)
