[REL] Bugfix patch 1.17

[Swifty]

Earlier the forums were down when I was attempting to download this patch, so I resorted to google.

I used this link:

http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/p...one/patch.html

When the forums were back online I noticed this wasn't on your list of the 6 mirrors.

Is that patch legit?

I think so. The patch is probably uploaded in several places I don't know about after release. I know the previous patch was also uploaded there and worked fine.

I am having nothing but problems with this patch. Seems like not only does the patch not work, but I lost all sounds related to footsteps, monsters, and attacking. A couple of the skills still don't work and apparently neither do the character customization mods.
I'm using steam and have already installed and uninstalled about 4 times with the same results each time. All I am doing is patching the original download for TQ and TQ:IT from steam after it has been run once each.
Any help or solutions or does the mod just not work?

[yerkyerk]

The mod works fine, but if you do run into these problems all the time for inexplicable reasons, I simply advice against using it.

Especially since the patch does not touch much soundfiles and certainly not the ones you're describing, something is probably going wrong with installing somewhere.

The patch should be 1.17a (there should be clear indicators of which version you have).

Genetic D, try this, install and patch TQ & IT using steam then TURN off Steam automatic updates. Since TQ is no longer gonna get any more official patches this will stop steam messing with your installation. Also after its install launch the game and check it working, then if it working install fan patch (it should work fine).
Lastly you can try installing any mods you want.
Key thing to do is check game works after each stage.

hey guys.

do I need to patch Titan Quest with the official patches first?
and should I run titan quest IT once after installing it so it does that 'upgrade' thing before applying the unofficial patch, or does the order not matter?

[The Rock-man]

Sunwind you need to install TQ and TQ:IT as Fan patch is for the IT, and part of installing IT is the first run patch of TQ to 1.30.

So what I would do is this install TQ and TQ:IT run TQ:IT l et it patch TQ then install fan patch.

I am running into unexpected in-game crashed with this patch when playing Storm using the Ice Shard.

[The Rock-man]

nzone it would help if you posted where you are when it happens.
(If its the place I think it is its a bit of bad coding that crashes everyone who uses projectile skills that in the basic game and cant be fixed)

[nzone]

It happens everywhere in ACT1, but most notably is at the war-camp just before meeting the 3 snake sisters and in their lair. I'm in ACT2 and so far I haven't encountered an in-game crash yet. Also, often when the character is casting the Ice shard, about 1-2 sec the casting motion is so slow. It seems as if the character is hit with 'plague' spell or 'hamstring', but it isn't.

I used to play Storm w/Ice Shard before, but I couldn't remember if I had fanpatch installed, and I've never had this issue.
