P.M. Studios Patches Etrom-The Astral Essence

P.M. Studios announces the release of the first English Patch for Etrom-The Astral Essence.

About the Patch V. 1.1:
Compatibility: Only English Retail (Digital Delivery version patch will be released further from Direct2Drive and TotalGaming.net)

New Features:
- New Control System (F1 to activate the Auto-Camera)
- Config. Auto-Save
- Direct Link to the Hangan's Gun Shop: Active the cheat-mode Ctrl+PM and then press H (use this only if the "equipment" mission is accomplished or you may experience crashes)

New options on start window (Check it for Common Trouble Shooting):
- VSync Disabled - This option allows to disable the Vertical Video Sync. It can speed up the general fluidity of the animations (increasing the Frame Rate). In some cases horizontal lines could appear.
- Software Vertex Processing - Some low-profile videocards (in most cases, the on-board ones) have tech specs close to the limits of the Product's Minimum Requirements. Enabling this option it can be forced to use the CPU instead of the GPU for certain graphic operations (eg. mesh skinning). The CPU will do more work, probably resulting in a general decrease of the game speed (decreasing the Frame Rate).

- Safe Mode - On certain critical configurations and with some videocards' drivers the game could be unstable. This option decreases the performances and increases the controls of the application to manage system's Threads/Processes. In particular it enables the DirectX multi-thread mode.

Bug fix:
- Ammo Bug
- Time Power (now can't disappear at the end of a Time-Mission)
- Technical Improvements and Better GC Compatibility.
