When downloading the 2.02 patch you must choose whether to download the Standard or Widescreen version. The Widescreen version of the patch simply zooms out the game by 20% and is appropriate for most users, regardless of monitor type.
However, the Widescreen version may cause significant additional lag on your computer. If you were not able to run the game without lag before, we strongly recommend downloading the Standard version instead. The Standard version of the patch is provided for users with slower computers who cannot play the Widescreen version without lag, and also for those who have slower Internet connections who do not wish to wait to download the larger Widescreen patch. (The Standard English patch is a 10.1 MB download, the Widescreen English patch is a 51.7 MB download.)
The installer will also install the Unofficial 2.02 Patch Launcher, which allows you to switch quickly between 2.01 and 2.02. The launcher also informs you of updated versions of 2.02, allows for different music themes, and supports the RotWK DC Patch (for those who use both 2.02 and the DC Patch). For the the launcher to work, it is necessary that you have
Microsoft .NET Framework installed on your system. We therefore highly recommend you obtain
Microsoft .NET Framework if you don't have it installed already. To obtain the software, please follow this link:
Microsoft .NET Framework Download. Do this
before installing the patch.
The patch is also offered in three languages: English, Italian, and Chinese (Traditional). If you own the game in one of these languages and download the appropriate version, all of your in-game tooltips will be updated to reflect patch changes. If your game is another language, then you can still play 2.02, but your tooltips will remain as they were in 2.01. The translations are difficult to produce, and are provided by the community, not the 2.02 team. Huge thanks to community members
Mrak and
choimo for their work on the Italian and Chinese patches, respectively. Please PM
Forlong if you are interested in translating the patch to another language.
