This is a publisher approved unofficial patch for White Gold: War in
Paradise from Deep Shadows. It works with the Russian retail copies,
online distributed Russian versions from gamepitstop.ru or yuplay.ru
and the English releases from GamersGate, Beamdog and finally Steam.
The patch is a cumulative release and includes all earlier versions!
The patch is provided "as is" and any warranties are disclaimed. The
free redistribution of the unchanged patch is permitted but it's not
allowed to use it as a base for derivative works without permission!
Thanks go to Pavel and Alex from GFI/Russobit-M, badmofo and myers90
for tools, Anders and mrhtml16 for tips and Interzeptor for testing.
Installation:
-------------
To install the patch choose the White Gold installation directory as
destination, then select the components. The registry is not changed
and it can't be uninstalled. Thanks to Jordan Russel for Inno Setup.
Install the latest official patch before using this one, and to make
it work with Russian retail you need to swap VERENDER3.dll with .11!
The voice-overs of movies and cutscenes were based upon the official
English version, the graphics were created from an official trailer,
the translation was based on the 1.0 resource file and later updated
to the Steam version. It was merged into 1.0.1/1.1 and improved when
appropriate, also several minor issues and gameplay bugs were fixed!
Problems:
---------
To fix graphic issues try in 'Shared Documents' ini/videooptions.ini
DISABLESHADERMODEL30=1, RENDERLAG=1, SMOOTHFPS=1 and LIMITFPS=30, to
change widescreen FOV add FOV=80. Replacing "MotionBlur" with "copy"
in postprocess/hdr.txt disables motion blur. If you perceive flicker
on ATI/AMD cards force AA in CCC or install the patch's flicker fix.
On start crashes rename cyrillic game folder, disable desktop compo-
sition and any second monitor. If a vehicle drifts disable joystick!
If game crashes on saving, move away until corpses and such despawn.
To enable the console set Enabled=1 in ENGINESETTINGS.INI, then open
it with the ~ key below ESC and use commands ADDHEALTH and ADDARMOR.
Gameplay:
---------
If you don't hear any ingame sounds and voices, download the Russian
sound pack from here: Moddb.com
paradise/downloads/xenus-2-white-gold-russian-soundpack-sounds-fix/.
The "getting cards for two bandits" mission target is a bit off, you
can buy the card deck from a passer-by moving around the whole town.

Publisher approval:
-------------------
Email by Pavel Altshul from GFI on 25.01.2011: So may I kindly ask
for your cooperation? (I would take Xenus2 as an example) I’m able
to provide you with retail Russian version + unprotected .dll’s +
Russian patch 1.1. And if it possible for you to disassemble this
patch removing Russian text out of it and packing your proofread
text in, I think it will work perfectly. And end users will have
the version with performance optimization and good texts in it.
This patch will undoubtedly have credits to you in readme (or
called "Community patch 1.1 by Wesp52 if you want). Then we will
distribute it to all our partners who sell the game, noting them
that they must refer to you as its author. Is it acceptable?
Anyway, I must note that we won’t be able to call this patch
official (as it’s made not by the developers). But "supported
by Publisher", or "approved" or equally.

When entering the city on Ballena, the game crashes with an error: "Texture CACHE\TEXTURES\KOS_TEX\KOS_CHE_TGA.dt1 corrupded."
What to do?
Try reinstalling the game, this does not happen on my system and that texture is not part of the patch.
Neither this texture path is part of the vanilla game,
folder \KOS_TEX does not appear,
are you using any third party addons eg NO LIMITS MOD, Guerrillas or Sapphire Mod?
The original game folder does consider:
CACHE\TEXTURES\
Actors
ANIMALS
HUD
INVENTORY
OLE_TEX
STS_NATURE
Exactly.

Can I switch to russian after patching the game?
Sadly not.
Does this unofficial patch need 1.01/1.1 official patch already installed or can it be installed directly on the vanilla retail 1.0 version?
Also, since I'm missing the sounds and voices, I installed the russian fixed audio. THat mod changes 2 files main.fat and gf_sounds.grp. Do these 2 files conflict with this patch and what is the recommended install order?
The Unofficial Patch includes the official one and you should install it first and then the Russian audio.
Windows Defender tags this as a trojan then removes it.
Allow it manually, Windows Defender is hot with false positives right now!
Silly question, ¿basically what does/fix ATI Flickering?.
I changes some hdr parameters that could cause ATI cards to flicker.
Hey, ¿this solved the duplication glitch/cheat with vehicles?.
What cheat is that?
That one
Steamcommunity.com
Sorry, but Google translator can't help me with that page...
Good that it still can help me :)
Guidance
You'll need:
A Vehicle
Items of 2 or more (NOT STACKABLE)
Instruction:
Open Vehicle Trunk (F2)
Drop 2 or more identical items (Move the mouse to the bottom left corner)
Close the trunk and pick up discarded items
You can repeat it ad infinitum.
Notes:
This method cannot be used to clone items that do not stack with each other (Weapons, body armor)
If the number of items reaches 32768, they will disappear
Anyway, it's a cheat what does spoil the game pleasure, better to make money like in the real life and don't cheat for it!
Thanks for translating, but I have no idea on how to fix that.
