Hi Yffisch !

Thanks a lot for your feedback ! Don't worry it's really useful for me and interesting for the project.

Yffisch: Thank you thank you! I've been looking forward do this for so long, especiallty the Swedish language support. I'm so grateful for your work and you're worth all creds for this. I just want to add some reflections and findings
I'm happy that you enjoyed the support of the Swedish language, GOG doesn't add every languages on the game. So this project was also a way to add all languages asked by people on the board.

Yffisch: The cutscenes were very laggy when I started the game with default settings. I tried experimenting with framerate but it did not help. I had to run it in the "Windowed fullscreen mode" feature to make it work perfectly. It was not a problem since it was fullscreen anyways. Just for other people to know. Also the game suddenly crashes from time to time at 30FPS. Seems like it's some quicktime spinner bar that appears before game crashes. I lowered to 25fps and it worked better, but it still crashes from time to time, but the game always auto saves so it's not that big of an issue. Maybe every 30 minutes or similar. Sometimes it does not crash at all for hours.
About the cutscenes lag issue it's depends of your GPU. Some got issues and others don't.
Indeed the "Windowed Fullscreen Mode" = Modern FullScreen solve the issue but add another bug with i called "Incompatible Setup" who encounter random crashs during gameplay.
This is not the case for all, me and almost 200 testers never got any crash in this mode. But some setup add theses bugs. That's why i made a "Default mode" with Full Screen locked at 30fps who is totally stable = no crash but you can have laggy cutscenes. Hopefully there is a walkarround to your problem :

Read this : http://tgames.fr/tgames/PC/AtlantisFreezesFix.txt
Using this fix 100% of people who got freeze on "Windowed FullScreen Mode".
Just install a VM with Windows 7 x64, it will fix the issue.

Yffisch: Also, while doing the rat puzzle with the trolls chasing the queen, that quicktime spinner appeared every 10 seconds and I thought the game was about to crash, but it never did. It made me very nervous though.
Same as #2 =)

Yffisch: I totally love the new music added at the stone head beach. Though the new dialog with hector inside the volcano (Moria?) after the spinning lady, that dialogue was totally worthless. It really destroyed all the mystic feeling you have at that place. Also, the cube told you that "Hector, you will never see him again", and then suddenly he was screaming to you inside the volcano "Seth, what are you doing? You've been gone for a week...me and Naka bla bla...please say hello to him from me, good luck lol". That part was totally ridiculous. I really understand why they removed that dialogue. I would suggest keeping it in the "I've played atlantis before" option, but maybe it's already like that.
Yes the first goal of the project was to bring back unused dialogues (30 new), cutscenes (4 new), musics (1 new), deaths (3 new) and modes (Visit Mode from Demo/Beta versions assets entiery coded from scratch) into the game.
From the beta/demo to the final release. No one never tried that before.
And also fix lot of errors in the code of Cryo Interactive (bear objects glitch, missings parts of characters, error with sounds, missing cutscenes code from some actions, glitchs with objects when moving, memory leaks...)
But indeed, i can understand that some adding break something on the story of the game.
For the moment, it took me a lot lot lot (lol) times to work on all languages versions, and i'm busy with the V1.3 incoming soon, but once i have time, i will allow an option to have or not have the added dialogues. Each modifications need to be done on each languages so it takes a lot of times. I'm currently working on the V1.3 who include more fixes. But definitely for the V1.4 i will work to disable some dialogues or all who got deleted in the final game using a option in the patch.

Yffisch: And sometimes when you quit the game, you have to watch the full credits before game stops running no matter what you click. And you have to click about 20 times on your user profile before game actually reacts on the click.
Yes everyone had the same problem, for now i'm working on fixing it.
For the full credits issue just press "Escape" button it will close it. Or Alt+F4.
For the main menu when selecting your profile, indeed click registering is pretty buggy.

Yffisch: Also, the user interface in the patch startup screen looks veeeery basic and non-professional.
Yes i need to work the UI, was not the goal for now, but indeed if you have ideas or know a graphic artist who can design me a beautiful UI it will be really useful ;).

Yffisch: I totally love you for all your hard work with this. Just use this as feedback!
Thanks :). Don't hesitate to posts furthers feedbacks ;).
If you are a streamer Twitch/Youtube, don't hesitate to make a gameplay video of this version.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your response to my feedback! :) I do not know of any good artists for that sadly, but fiverr.com could probably have some talents for 20-50 bucks or something. You could probably get money from Kickstarter if needed.

Did you do anything for Atlantis 2 as well or is it too much work to start patching another game? It will probably run smoother on modern computers as is, but language support for Atlantis 2 would be appreciated (Swedish one for me and other languages for other people I would guess).

Hi Yffisch,

Atlantis 2, Atlantis 3 and Atlantis Evolution are already patched since a long time but not published on GOG.
I think for the moment i will keep others Atlantis games patchs as exclusive to my website.
I have also patched others Cryo games like Aztec :).
You can found my "Perfect Edition" versions of each on my website tgames.fr.
Each versions are updated to lastest versions and patched to fix every bugs.

Including Atlantis 3 with "HD Textures" (high definition for 2003).
I'm the only one to allow HD Textures in the game working on a digital version
(from the very very rare DVD edition of the game).
The GOG Version of Atlantis 3 have "SD Textures" only and stuck at minimum resolution (800x600)
Mine is 1024x768 and fully upscalled internaly to 1080p.

Including Atlantis 2 with "Visit Mode" from Beta/Demos versions of the game.
http://tgames.fr/progs-pc/beyond-atlantis-2-real-hub-visit-mode-t12129.html

Video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b8ceVJVGAo

The "Visit Mode" of Atlantis 2 is external of the Perfect Edition for the moment.
It's a patch/updater tool who unlock on the first save access to this special mode.
Same as Atlantis The Lost Tales, it is fully written from scratch using assets from beta/demos versions.

Maybe in 2020, i will make a updater/patcher for Atlantis 2 and Atlantis 3 for GOG Versions.
It will be a "one clic" updater and a "one clic" to play the game without anything to do on player side ;)
I will maybe include the "Visit Mode" (Atlantis 2) and "Special Viewer Mode" for Atlantis 3 (the auto-script of the game used for demo of the game).

For the support of the Swedish languages on Atlantis 2, Atlantis 3 and Atlantis Evolution, i just need the iso of each CD. Then i can port the language to the perfect edition ;).

Best Regards.

Sounds really awesome with the HD version of Atlantis 3! I'm looking forward for your future work. Thank you! I will try to make ISO files of my Swedish Atlantis 2 CD's and send them to you so that you can have them to fiddle around with if you wish!

As for Atlantis 3, 4, 5, I don't think they ever bothered releasing it in Swedish though.

Yes everything is already done for theses games.
I just maybe soon make a patcher/updater for GOG, but it will be exactly the same result as my Perfect Editions of theses games ;).

I don't know if a Swedish version exists for Atlantis 3 and 4.
For the moment i support the russian version, english version, deutsch version and french version.

Man, you are amazing! I wish you were working in Cryo all these years ago so the game would be perfect from it's release :)

I cannot overstate how happy you made me with the Perfect Edition of the original Atlantis: The Lost Tales! Thank you so much (again and again) for your work, and let me wish a happy life for you!

Thanks for your tests and feedbacks insomniac09.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Extended Cut update :).

Best Regards.
hello! Thanks for the patch as I thought it would be the definitive way to play the game in Spanish.

Unfortunately the old bugs remain (missing sounds like the cat sound) and I found another one which I don't know if it is part of the patch or came with the gog version: for the crackling sound stealth puzzle, more steps than in any other walkthrough are crackling, meaning that they detect you always. So it is unsolvable. It is like every two steps it will crack: on the corner, next to the guards, upstairs...+

Is this anything known about the game?

EDIT: no, it is just that the cracking tiles are kind of random. Dumb me.

Still the problem with the missing sound effects remain :(

Hi Risingson,

If you have chosen "I already played Atlantis before", some puzzles are now totally different that the normal game.
For example the path in the library is different. And remains the same as original in "I never played Atlantis before".

I've put this changes for people who know perfectly the game to have more challenge when they play the game again.

For some missings sounds, it's a minor bug who still remains for the moment.
All others bugs are fixed with my patcher on lastest version.

Best Regards.

Thanks to Surist for the tests and feedbacks

Don't forget the Polish version of Atlantis The Lost Tales is now supported unofficially on the GOG Version.
Like it was before for Dutch and Swedish few months ago =).

Full texts, voices and menu in Polish.

If someone, have files of an unsupported language, please contact me i will work on it.

Best Regards !

Edit:

Someone ask me if i can upload all texts of all languages before they are compiled into scripts.
This export is useless for normal users, it's just for people who want to check/help translation work on the Extended Cut. They are in a format .DLG, it's just text data who can by opened with NotePad++ software.
Theses files can be recompiled into .CON format (with scripts) in 1 second with some private softwares i made.

Very interesting update. It's a pity it doesn't support Linux, natively or with Wine.

Awesome!
Just a simple question - you mentioned earlier in this thread that there are patches for Atlantis 2, Atlantis 3 and Atlantis Evolution. But what about The Secrets of Atlantis (Atlantis 5)? Maybe it will work as is, since it's the most recent game. As far as I know, not many Atlantis fans actually know that there is an Atlantis 5 :)
