How to install with the GOG release?
Just extract it into the folder and run Kain.exe directly. You don't need to use the setup program.
Thank you, it worked!
I'm also looking for a way to change rendering speed. The read file says the option has been added, but it doesn't specify how to do it.
Does anyone know how to select game rendering speed? I cannot find this option: "Added option to select game rendering speed / frame per second (FPS)". I want the PC version's framerate.
Not sure unfortunately. The PC version's framerate feels like walking in mud tbh.
I actually have an older version of Verok's patch because I got disappointed that he seemingly removed that feature. The 1.27 Patch allows you to set your own FPS limit — It's a difference of 10 FPS.
I too much prefer the speed of 50 FPS compared to the jittery 60 FPS fast paced action.
Anyway I write this because I ask if you want to upload the older patches here as well. I have 1.27 and 1.58 that I can give you for upload.
Okay.
I sent you the links on dm \o/
Hopefully they'll be of use to those that desires them, plus for preservation sake.
I have uploaded 1.27 and 1.58 to moddb.
Nice, glad I could be of help \o/
