Never expected this of all games to get a fan patch, but it's great to see that it did! Will the patch be compatible with every language version of the game or only with English version?

Thanks Fortuk :)

Yes every languages will be supported.

For now in the beta-stage we only test the english version.

But our goal is to have every languages supported for the release on March 2019.

Like most of Beta testers said to me, this version is really the "Definitive version" of the game.
That's why i use a name to the version "Extended's Cut" and not just "it's a update who fix everything :)"

Because now, it's the most stable version of the game.
And, for a great nice update, use all the unused features left by Cryo on the game files.

The beta stage is open to every GOG customers, you just have to own/buy the game from GOG Galaxy.

Then contact me here or by email tgames@hotmail.fr

I will send you the beta updater (under 48h) and instructions about it.

You will receive update for the updater weekly.

All we need is to have a lot of users with different PC setups to make sure everything is good.

When the update will be public (March 2019), people just have to install the game from GOG Galaxy.
Then download our patch, click "Update" then that's all ! :)

I still have original French CDs in cardbox from... last century ^_^
Looks like I will purchase GOG version (-79% now, very tempting !) just to get that "ultimate edition".

Extended's Cut TEST VERSION is released :D

Hi Tgames,
Thank you for the awsome work you have done, keeping this game alive
And making it more intresting with altered puzzles. (would love to see some more)
I noticed when playing the second ratcaher game the sound effects cuts out al together) dutch version
maybe it's because i also added the orginal dialog files but im not sure if this would make this kind of an impact.
Also i got the disc 2 error going in to the hanger.

I can also confirm that extended cut runs in the wrapper for Mac OSX 32bit wrapper
Im currently working on a way to make it run on Mac OS 64 bit wrapper

I also made version of your Atlantis II and Atlantis III for mac 32
if any one needs help just let me know.

If you are intrested in a new project I own the RIng, China Egypt etc
in DVD and CD format Retail most of them muti-lang
Thanks again and keep up the Awsome work :)
