I believe that the UAP disables multiplayer.

I have also installed the latest UAP (2.0.2) and the game refuses to work properly. When I launch the game all I see is a black screen, but there is sound.

Decided to play it without the UAP (almost 7 hours) and I haven't encountered any serious bugs.

EDIT!

NVM, managed to get the game working with both UAP and HD mod, turns our Riva Tuner which I used for limiting my FPS was causing all the problems, so I deactivated it. Some people on other forums have mentioned that disabling G-sync made the game work.

Basically, remove/disable anything that limits FPS and it should probably work fine.

Did you ever get an answer? I have gotten the game working fine and uap is applied but i cant get the High res part to work. I have edited the ini, but when i try to run the '_install.bat' file through wine cmd i get an error about weidu which just seems weird

Thank you! I had the same problem, and turning off MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner fixed it.

Anyone still modding Arcanum in 2022? For me it still holds up as one of the best games ever made. I fell asleep for 5 years or so and woke up to the discovery Drog Blacktooth had updated the UAP. So exciting! But, yeah, I have an itch to create a module or two, and I was wondering if anyone is still doing that.

Hi everyone,

So I reinstalled Arcanum with the lastest (I think) UAP and, even though I kept the default settings of the config.ini, the mouse cursor reacts slowly and sometimes freezes.

I never had this issue before so if anyone has an idea of what can cause this...

Thanks in advance.

Set DDrawWrapper = 0 and run install.bat. On W10+ it's causing flickering intros / movies and other problems. Also keep Render to software if you're missing dialogs.

I just installed the game and then the UAP but it just crashes on opening.
It may just be because I am on windows 11?

I tried the Multiverse Edition first, but after the mod changed my Windows region to Russian, and Windows alerting me of possible viruses in the config, I decided it was not worth the hassle. So I tried the UAP instead and installation went fine (no Russian shenanigans), but the game just crashes on startup now. Sigh... :(

Edit: The above suggestion of disabling G-Sync worked - the game launches now!

Edit 2: But the game keeps flashing black constantly...

Edit 3: The above suggestion of disabling DDrawWrapper did not fix the issue.

Edit 4: Reinstalled the game from scratch and didn't install UAP at all. Game runs fine, but the mouse cursor is behaving strangely. Sigh!

Where do I find this?
