Please wait before installing the current English patch. Version 1.0 is just around the corner and includes all of the text translated, except for some cutscenes for which transcripts are included...
Thats is excellent news Wesp5. 😎
Talk about two good things close to each other.
My copy of The Precursors came in today and Wesp5 is almost ready with the V 1.0 of the patch.
Now if Deep Shadows would announce the official Western version or bringing out an expansion to finish the last part, that would be a very nice conclusion.
Wesp5 just let me know when you have a download link and I will upload it here for everyone using the same download link. Thanks again for all the hard work Wesp5. I might just go ahead and pickup the precursors after the translation work is done.
Anyone know any real info on the status of Deep Shadows itself?
I just uploaded the The Precursors Unofficial English translation patch 1.0 to The Patches Scrolls. As soon as it it available from there I will post the link here. Maybe it will be this very day :)!
Thanks Wesp5, I will re-upload it here when it is available any new developments on the translation?
The translation patch 1.0 is available now! You can find it here: http://www.patches-scrolls.de/precursors.php#tp10
Mind you, although this patch mostly restores the English text already found in the Russian game, the translation is quite bad at times. So if you find any errors or similar, please post them here so I can improve the translation in further updates...
OK. I started playing the game today.(Version 1.1 with Wesp5's excellent translation patch. THANK YOU WESP5!!! 😀 😀 😀 ) Although still I have not reached space, I really like the FPS/RPG game. If you ever played "Boiling Point" you will be right at home. The only bug I encountered, was saves corruption (but I think it was my fault since I had overclocked my PC, and I used quicksaves far too often. In any case do not use quick saves). And there is a fix for ATI cards if you encounter flickering skies.
Well I finally got my big computer back 😀 with it rather elderly video card but I have Precursors up and running,Not done much so far except wander around,chat to the locals.Took one of the jeeps for a spin around the desert,ran over a few raiders and bugs then wrecked it. 😆
Love the bit where find out your father was killed by a Frozen mammoth as he walked past a melting iceburg 😆 😆
graphics whore note this is only medium setting and no anti aliasing.
looks a bit Mos Easly.
some sort of helicopter.
Walking off the landing pad.
The BAR!! at last. 😆
And the first planet is a copy of Tatooine.:D
And the first planet is a copy of Tatooine.:D
They should have put two sun in the sky. 😀
Read on the Precursors forum that,there is some gaint worm in desert (aka Dune) but I have not seen it yet. ❓
got into space now. 😀
Into space,pity there no rotate key,also if you press F10 you get 3rd person view.
Station.
Walk aound you ship.
The bridge.
Talk with the ships IA.
The ship bar.
Engine room
Cargo deck.
Inside the station.
The station bar. 😀
And after all that drink. 😆
And theres one on the ship as well.
Theres a Precursors resource editor,the developers had done some translation in several languages. Spanish, French, German.Seem they are incomplete but would be a good start for anyone wanting to do a translation.

This must be some sort of bug,every time I set the vehicles to simulation in the game menu the game changes it back to arcade after any cut scene.
I have reached the forest moon of endor or the planet Gil or what ever its called,hope theres none of these damned ewoks on it.I left the shotgun on the ship. 😆
Big spiders.
Cargo ship
Wish I could take my iron horse from planet to planet.
Tauntaun anyone 😀 😆 😀
The Precursors site is back up,chance to look at the encyclopedia
I do like system map in the game reminds me of an updated Frontier one,but without the ability to move the planet around in time,You can zoom in and out using the mouse.
Think they should have put some more info here like which good could inported/exported and link to a encyclopedia
I was wrong its not Endor its Naboo and there bloody Gungan on it. 😆
Any one know where to get fuel for the buggy or how to heal your Tauntauns up ❓
I taken on a mission for the DU to rescue a lost squad on a bomb out world full of raider,unfortunately when I got there they were all dead apart from one,sarge who said I had to get the death star plans back to the Du,I mean Secret plans back to the DU.
Think I need a bigger gun,"RUNAWAY RUNAWAY"!!! 😆
Well the ship got pretty banged up getting into and out of Yarent and with not enought fuel to make the jump back to Gil.I had to jump to a near by system and dock at an Empire station and buy some more fuel,but they would not repair the ship on account that I had blown up one their freighters .So I decided to go back to Goldin and do some sud missions and do a bit of the tourist thing.
Get a good pic of that worm oneday.
I taken a job with the Trade Federation,I mean Free Trader on Reandore
Remind you of anything
IMO it's the most Innovated game to out in years in this genre,it's not a perfect game by any means and the space side could be improved,its a shame most people will never play the game.
In General I think this were modern space sim should be heading,for far too long devs have either used the Elite or Wing Commander model for there games and its about time they move on.Just making the same game over and over with better graphic and the odd added feature (and I'am thinking about Egosoft here) is not going to rescue this genra from the niche end of gaming that it has fallen into over the last ten years.Hopfully some will see Precursors and think now theres an idea.
DAMN my lockpicking skill not good enough 😡 ,I need to find one of these mek to drive. 😈
My thoughts exactly.
Thinking about things I would have liked to have seen in the game.
Like to have seen a cockpit view,would have given the game a more inmersive feel in space.
And a rear view.
The ability to transport a vehical between planets.
A better trading engine and some use for the asteroid mining.
Different space station designs for the Empire and DU and different interiors.
More life going on out side the stations.ie more ships docking.
Better radar.
Access to a engine/shield and gun control pannel as in sundog where you could make temporary repaires using the shunts or replace damaged parts,at the moment the inside of the ship seems to have no use.
Hello what's this A grav tank! 😀
It's no good,this place seem to be at war and I can't find a way through the lines between the Free Traders and Empire.
Think I will go back Goldin and see if I can improve my standing with the Empire.
Another tourist shot of Goldin this time from the air
The bird people of Glee have a spectacular city in the tree tops I've not been able to explore it as my reputation is too poor with them although I was able to deceive a couple of the guards at the landing pad before the bird brains figured out who I was and shot me. 😆
Nearly got it. 😀
Right gone back to Reandore and run into a problem,the quest marker has disappeared for the mission,
Has anyone had this problem ❓ as I may have to use an old save game to get it back.
Escorting Space tourist.
Goldin and moon,just noticed that the planets dont have any clouds
