New version! New version!

Excellent tip! I'm using this right now.

Just a quick bit of advice: Don't expect that the only changes are what the Devs have been kind enough to list. I started getting attacked by madmen after version 3.06 and I've never seen them before. They might have been there from the start, but then again, there might be quite a few such "little odds-and-ends" the Devs failed-or even forgot-to mention.

Maybe your version went insane?

Sounds like somebody's hitting you with Imprint Souls.

Yep. That one produces madmen and flagellants, led by a mad priest. Always been in the game.

Another tip: As Edi pointed out in another post, the technique of only backing up the exe rather than the whole folder won't work with this patch as it has with others, since other files are changed. The best way to keep a copy of v3.06 is just to copy the whole folder.

Blah. So, since IW couldn't be bothered to _mention_ this, it's screwed up my (and other people's) installs. And since they so-cleverly used an .exe to update the Windows version (instead of a zip like the other platforms) we didn't even get to see the contents to know it.

F-ing lovely.

Whats the deal with everyone using _ to add emphasis to words nowadays?

This is a little overboard.

I don't think it's IW's responsibility to give out that sort of info. Most video game patches don't tell you the files they update, nor should you have been surprised that multiple files were updated. An EXE is the standard method of almost all companies to update their games, and I prefer it. And finally - reinstalling the game and putting on the 3.06 patch takes about 15 minutes, so it's not like you are completely screwed.

Funny, I used the so-clever exe to update the Windows version and I saw exactly what was updated. Oh yeah... _Blah_.
