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...

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?

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.

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.

Direct link to the editor.

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.

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.

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.

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. 😈

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! 😀

PrecursorsGRAVTANK.jpg

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. 😀
