Into the Dark 100% Playable L5 Public Alpha Cut file

Releasenotes:

*UPDATED 12-12-2012 with DirectX needed to run it*

If game freezes on loading close to end of loading, replace "dividetexturesize=1" in your setup.ini with "dividetexturesize=2"

This is a PUBLIC ALPHA CUT from Level 5.

PUBLIC means everyone can have it, so we haven`t included any fancy team secrets like very special shadercodes.

ALPHA means it`s not in the stage for balancing and final beta testing, still some polishing to do.
However, it can be played till the levels end both shooter style and tinker way. Many Assets like voice overs are still placeholder quality (although functional).

CUT means we have taken out some things that would spoiler too much from the previous levels:

- The Mission Log here:

has been removed, all necessary hints are provided as voice overs.

- Enemy types have been reduced to 1 enemy ty, as the others in this level are not yet announced.

- Cutscenes are substituted with nightvision sequences as the movie cutscenes aren`t shot yet

- 2 puzzles have been removed as they rely on skills and informations from the previous levels.

All about the TECH-SPEC:

Screen Resolution:

is set to 1680*1050, as this turned out to run fluently on mid-range machines.
If your monitor doesn`t support that or you want to go higher, open the setup.ini here and look for

width=1680
height=1050

in the [Gamedebug] section.

Replace with

width=1024
height=768

OR

width=1280
height=800

or any other resolution supported by your system. Game has been tested from 800*600 to 1920*1080.

Minimum System requirements:

Dualcore / X2 2*2GHZ or better, 2.0GB RAM, Radeon 2600 PRO or better, latest DX and Xvid Codec installed.
