Patch: Incognito Episode 1.9
Greetings! We have been working hard on this next patch and we are please to announce that it’s finally finished! This will probably be the last patch for Incognito: Episode 1 as we begin work on Episode 2 which will carry us into the new year.
I’m going to say it now the auto-patching system was a bane in this series of patches for those of you who have been using them. What can you do though? We learned from our mistakes and made more and then fixed those too! The patch will have to be downloaded via link below or from the link provided in the Configurator Updater to work correctly, if you use the auto-patching system it will not download the complete file (for this I am sorry).
With Episode 2 and onward this system has already been completely re-written to support files up to 4GB but if we manage to actually release a patch that big please kill me! Heh…
Anyway, down to actual business, this patch centers around users in x64 land whom are using Windows XP x64 or Windows Vista 64 flavors of the operating system and were unable to play until this version which shouldn’t have any problems at all.
Thanks to all of you whom played Episode 1 and we will continue to post more updates about the next version as they become avaliable. Use the link below to download the patch to Incognito Episode 1 BIN directory, by default directory on the following operating systems is as follows:
Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Magrathean Technologies\Incognito Episode 1\Game\Bin
Windows Vista: C:\Users\Public\Magrathean Technologies\Incognito Episode 1\Game\Bin
You must run the patch from the same directory as Incognito.exe or the patch will report not being able to locate the game since we intend the auto-updater to be used in conjunction with the patches. Sorry for the inconvenience!
