Patch 1.02 changes and bug fixes

- Combat Difficulty is now properly saved and restored when
exiting the game and reloading a saved game (Hard mode
difficulty was previously not restored, so, unfortunately,
everybody was playing "Normal" after reloading) [WILL NOT WORK
ON SAVED GAME DONE BEFORE PATCHING]
- Added a new "Hardcore" difficulty mode

- Re-balanced NPC's strength & health on the second half of the
game for all difficulty modes [WILL NOT WORK ON THE CURRENT
CHAPTER BEING PLAYED IN A SAVED GAME DONE BEFORE PATCHING]
- Added an intermediary "Texture" setting between "Medium" &
"High". "High" could create an overload with some video card
memory: so, to offer more scalability, it has been renamed to
"Very High" and the "High" option now offers "Medium" textures
for the scenery but "High" textures for the NPCs.
- No More Crash when NPC's beheaded (that happened with the
"head_link"  error message)
- Fixed the black Bink playback problem with GeForce FX video
cards

under water

- Fixed a showstopper bug with Percy in Chapter 09

- Saved Game system changed to the new Async System to prevent too
much stuttering when the game is auto saving (if you're still

- GFX Option is now properly Saved

- Convar mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware is now correctly
handled depending on PC specs

a Cold Knife"

Spell when they are in ragdoll behavior

- Arrows that are out of the Game world are now Removed properly
to prevent Framerate from decreasing to zero

- Max number of potions/food you can stack in your inventory is
now properly checked

- Avoid the Ghoul script from being broken in some cases if player

lost on each load/restart/map change)

depending on difficulty mode

animation

- Game will not auto save twice when triggering the final events
in the Epilogue

- Added missing precache on Undead spawned by Necromancer Lord

lead program to run out of memory ("Memory Can't Be Read" crash
on Loading Screen) (please see below if you're still

HATRED  does not condone in selling warez of any kind.
HATRED  does  not  respect any p2p networks, NFOrce or
anything to make the scene more public.
HATRED  does  not  believe in using a lesser protected
executables  whether  it  be  a steam exe, unprot exe,
demo  exe,  activemark  exe,  direct2drive  exe or any
other  weaker protected exe to make a cheap copy/paste
code  exe  and  then  label  it  as a crack. Nor do we
believe  in  any  other  sorts  of  cheap workarounds.

We greet the respectable groups like:
