"You know whats interesting is that I believe Troika were going to make Journey to the Center of Arcanum using the Source engine, I wonder if they just made Vampire: Bloodlines instead of that. And if that were the case, would Arcanum 2 have been similar to Vampire except in Arcanum's setting-this seems likely.
I think I would of rather had a party Arcanum 2 instead of a FPS/RPG hybrid though, inless they would have made both!"

That's what they were going to do

This game looks System shocklike-kinda. It seems to have stealth and hacking, plus it has puzzles..

Tecno-the base
http://www.tecno-base.com/

Gameplay: You'll be challenged with diverse objectives going from panels with math riddles to puzzles using physics movement simlation. You'll have to discover and accomplish different objectives in each scene with some of them being really unique stuff. It isn't necessary to achieve you're objectives in a linear manner, there's some freedom to how and when you get the job done....
You'll find boss robots with special capabilities to confront you. Defeating a boss isn't just a matter of shooting at him, you'll have to use the environment and you're own cuning to outsmart them.
Combo items to be found: emp devices, camouflage signal emitters, distraction capsules. These devices allow you to use different tactics to eliminate threats besides running and gunning. ...controlling machines with the remote control or access digital information scattered in the base using the environmental scanner...You'll come across vehicles in the base that will help you navigate...

Is there a fix anywhere to make it run with normal speed on a fast comuter?
My dude's walking like 30km/h, dialogues are cut in the middle of sentence, etc. Makes the game practically unplayable.

It's probably a dual core cpu, SO: Run the game -> Ctr+Alt+Del -> Go to processes -> right click on the game exe and choose set affinity , then disable core1 and let the game run only on core0. -> play ^^

I tried that, but didn't help...

I forgot to tell you about the openGL renderer , it's probably needed to set the fps. Anyway you should use it since it makes the game look good with modern graphic cards. Let me quote myself :

Some days ago I decided to replay it again (3rd time), so I can give you some good advice.


  • 1st of all you should patch the game to 1112fm ( careful, not just 112f )
  • Then you should definitely install the OpenGL renderer , it will give you a major graphics improvement. Check out this thread for what you should do with the ini file. See the settings to learn what each command does.
  • Then there is the HDTP mod. A mod that brings the game textures into a higher resolution. About half of the work is done , but it's still a very good mod, you should try it.
  • Lastly we have the Shifter mod. It a mod you'd best try after you've played through the game once, since it's a mod that makes tweaks and not any essential ones.
  • If you have a dual core CPU you'll probably experience an annoying stuttering or the game will run at very high speeds. What you should do is to set FrameRateLimit=60 in the ini file (see the instructions above in the opengl section) and then make the game run with one core. To do that hid ctrl+alt+del while the game is running and then go to the processes , right click , choose "set affinity" and unmark CPU1.
