Does this patch deal only with SB Audigy and joystick problems??? does anyone know??? From what I can gather from all these threads is that many people are having problems with 'GamePlay' (freezing, lockups,etc.). Does this patch deal with any of these problems in SP mode, OR is RAVEN releasing this patch to try and save face, Knowing that there are so many other problems with their product. At first I wasn't even able to load this game (I own a Voodoo 5500, 'No Support'), until some gracious computer Gurus informed us about Wicked GL, now I'm able to play the game, quicksave, etc (Thank you, sincerely). But now that there is a patch available it seems like downloading it will give me added headaches form what I can gather from these posts. Has anyone running voodoo cards tried this patch??? Has this patch actually helped anyone better their single player gaming???:confused:

I personally suggest holding off on the patching until the next one, if even that. The game for me has been better out of the box than with the patch. Try it and see. If it doesn't work for you then go back to the original install. Good luck!

I don't have any problems

I really like this patch :)
First of all, the iFeel effects in SP
the Lighsaber physics in MP -> great
It seems, that saberlocks happen more often (I played half an hour with the kyle-bot and got 10 Saberlocks ....)
Drain and Healing are better balanced (now i can't heal myself again and again after I got hit)
The new maps are great (I really like the one with the reflective floor :) )

Still missing:
"double bladed lightsaber" without cheats
"different" lightsabers (like Luke's, the one from Darth Vader...)

nifelan, what are your system specs, if you don't mind me asking???
I play on:
PIII 800
voodoo 5500AGP
512 sdram
30 gig 7200 HD

Initially I had problems running the game at first(no cutscenes or opening scenes) then I tried wicked GL, game works but res. is really low and graphics are a little blurry from far away (ie. the farther away i move from a door the blurrier the image gets and i can see lines flickering on it). Have you had these problemsand if so has the patch helped out your video quality???
