Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath PC and ATI Graphics Cards

All’ya

We wanted to share some news with you. We’ve submitted the current Patch for Stranger’s Wrath PC for release, and now we have to wait for some last minute tests before it goes live with you the public; when the patch goes live we will publish the full change list.

In the meantime, a lot of the visual problems with the title have affected ATI Graphics cards almost exclusively. We have been working closely with the guys at AMD/ATI since the start of the year. This work is still ongoing however we are currently at the hands of the team at AMD.

We have jointly prepared a statement to this affect…

“AMD and Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc. are aware of the problems which are seen on ATI graphics cards with the latest OpenGL drivers and are working hard to resolve the problems.  We’re not yet certain whether the problems lie in the driver or the game, but as soon as we have news we’ll share it with you.”

Thanks for your patience in this matter, and hopefully we’ll have some direct news for you very soon.

  1. I created a new config.txt file in the path mentioned in the forum (it didn’t exist) and pasted these lines in it:

    width=1366
    height=768
    fullscreen
    resolution=custom

    launching the game, the drop-down menu is still blank, nothing runs. Should I add something else?

  2. p.s. Yesterday I installed Munch’s Oddysee from the Oddpack and it perfectly runs… Stranger’s Wrath still refuses to show any res option, even after adding a custom config file as instructed

  3. Please, I’m having trouble here. I cannot save my stranger’s wrath. What’s the problem? can somebody help me?. That thing always say can not save the file as if it doesn’t have memory card. Thank you.

    • If you mean the patch that fixes the bugs in ATI drivers, then we don’t know. AMD seem to have no interest in repairing their own problems. Instead we’re going to be replacing the OpenGL with DirectX for Stranger’s Wrath HD, so the game should be fixed for ATI users.

      • Will the HD update be released for free to those of us who have already purchased Stranger’s Wrath only to have it not work???

      • If you bought the game on Steam it will be an automatic update to your copy of the game. If you bought the game from a different vendor, well, we’re yet to determine exactly what will happen because they don’t all have an update service like Steam, but you should have the HD version available to you regardless.

  4. Hi,
    Where can I download the pc patch fix for AMD/ATI video cards ???
    I got it from gamefly but there’s no link to access anything related to patch download.

  5. Gamefly.com said that I can wait indefinitely while their “tech team” are working on it. (that’s the plain version).

    But you might, could, would, be more helpful by pointing me in the correct direction ?

    I took the liberty to include the “Event Viewer” report:
