I don't write very well in English, so I'm sorry for the translation errors

While for the remake of 2019, the scripts of all the characters have not yet come out, it remains only to play in the remaster of 2015 (which I like even more), and it has fewer technical problems, but I want to upgrade the graphics. This is what this guide will be about. In it, I collected all sorts of improvements and solutions to problems with the game Pathologic Classic HD / Mor(Utopia) / Мор(Утопия), which I found on the Internet or thought of myself, so that you would not have to.

This reissue of Mor received higher-resolution textures, as well as support for resolutions up to 1920x1200 pixels, but what should the happy owners of screens with a resolution of 4k 3840x2160 pixels do?

Solving technical problems

• Not a normal frame time / Lags / Statters
  
• Unloaded textures / Non-changing environment when changing the time of day

Improving graphics

• The resolution of the game
  
• Improved Darkness
  
• Editing a file with settings

It is highly recommended to install everything on a clean, NOT YET RUNNING game, many people have encountered problems that were solved by completely reinstalling the game, deleting its folder from the steam folder " Steam\steamapps\common\Pathologic Classic HD"

Do not forget to copy the existing saves from the game folder before reinstalling
"Steam\steamapps\common\Pathologic Classic HD\Saves"

One of these frequent problems is that the game does not start

The game at the time of its release back in 2005 was not designed for such improvements and now it needs some edits for normal work which I will tell you about below

It is very likely that the game will slow down very much every few seconds, if you look closely and listen, you will notice that lags occur at the moment when the sound starts playing. This is due to archived files in the game folder

The problem is solved their unarchiving with the program

programm[drive.google.com]
http://mor.gstrategy.ru/files/mor_converter.rar alternative link

Unzip the program for example on the desktop, run and specify it all 10 .vfs files in the data folder one by one
Click button on left up corner to specify a path
Dont afraid if it ??? just click





After that, the corresponding 10 folders will appear there, the video folder was there initially



After that, you need to change the lines in the config.ini file at the end, as shown in the screenshot, all of them are already written in the block for copying below

Or download it here and change the screen resolution
config file [drive.google.com]

This problem occurs due to the fact that after all these improvements, the game needs more memory, which it can not get

4gb patch, which can be downloaded from the link below, will help us solve the problem

https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

Run it and point to the startup file of the game " Pathologic Classic HD\bin\Final\Game.exe"

After that, you will see this window with a message that everything went well

Although the remaster and tightened the graphics, but there is still something to add and fix, more on this below

If you have a monitor up to 1920x1200 pixels then you just need to select the resolution of your monitor in the game settings or the settings file in the game folder

If you have a 4k monitor, then you will have to download the new textures made by me with the help of AI, at the link below

4k UI (only for 4k displays)[drive.google.com]

Just move everything from the 4k folder to the data folder with file replacement

I increased the resolution of textures by 4 times with the help of ai

Differences






Just move the Textures folder containing the files .tex to the data folder with the replacement of files, it should turn out like this



textures [drive.google.com]

Videos in the resolution of 3840x2160 (4k) upscaled with the help of AI, it is recommended to use at any screen resolutions, not necessarily 4k
Download and place the Video folder in the data folder with replacement

4k videos [drive.google.com]

For many peoples, 4k videos cause a lot of problems (crashes), so 1080p videos download faster and have less problems
Download and place the Video folder in the data folder with replacement

1080p videos (recommended) [drive.google.com]

Mod authored by 𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕪⚚ℕ𝕠𝕩 makes the nights much more realistic and atmospheric, a link to download is provided below
Download and put into Scripts folder
...Steam\steamapps\common\Pathologic Classic HD\data\Scripts

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1817918663
You can also lower the gamma to 0.875 for atmospheric conditions

If you downloaded it above, you can skip this step, but if you want to dig yourself, then the instructions below

Go to the folder with the game for example in this way



The config.ini file is located in the data folder "Pathologic Classic HD\data\config. ini" open it with notepad and edit it

After you finish editing, save the file and, by clicking on it rmb, properties, set the Read-only attribute to it
If you want to edit the file again later, then the Read-only attribute will have to be removed, edited and set again so that the game does not overwrite it



The screenshot below shows the settings that I would recommend to set, except for the screen resolution, it is set as your monitor

You can just download it here, just change the resolution
config file [drive.google.com]

Or copy-paste from here


Just a reminder about the Read-only attribute
