![]() ![]() I've attached a couple of comparison screenshots with GOG on the top/left, and Steam on the bottom/right. Another thing that Steam fixes is the editors, which used to simply crash on 64-bit systems. Steam replaces that with 333networks, which is a replacement server that can be used with most GameSpy games. Now you could get that advantage by playing the Steam version in widescreen (which, I guess is a downside of this fix :-)Īdditionally, the old version relied on GameSpy for the multiplayer server list, which died in 2014. I think this was done to prevent people from having competitive advantage by playing with plr_fFOV=160. You could also "fix" this in the old version by adjusting the FOV with plr_fFOV command, but there's a caveat: when playing scorematch/fragmatch multiplayer, the plr_fFOV command is ignored, and the game acts as if it's set to 90. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter Size: 600.37 MB Reminder:This download is completely free and wont cost you a penny. The Steam version fixes this by changing the FOV scaling to Hor+, which is the exact opposite (vertical FOV is fixed, horizontal FOV is adjustable). This makes the game feel "zoomed-in" in 16:9. This technique is called Vert-, and it was used in many games from that time period. This means that as your aspect ratio increases (becomes more wide), the vertical FOV gets narrower. The GOG/Retail version keeps horizontal FOV fixed, while adjusting the vertical FOV to match the aspect ratio. You can set the resolution manually in either version by editing PersistentSymbols.ini, but this creates problems with FOV. The Steam version fixes this by adding an aspect ratio selector: you can select 16:9, and the widescreen resolutions become available to you. The original game only allows you to select 4:3 (and 5:4, I think) resolutions in the settings. game and want to purchase it, you can support the developers by doing so here. Steam has an update to Serious Sam "Classic" (the original games), which fixes widescreen resolutions. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter Size: 600.37 MB Reminder:This download is completely free and won't cost you a penny. You could consider them separate games in the series. They have different textures, different models, different engine, even different level design in some places. Alright, so Serious Sam HD TFE/TSE are remakes of the original games. If theyx don't reply I will try different contact possibilities as well. However so far I did not speak to the devs. MarkoH01: So the classic version on Steam also is HD?Īpparently it is - the people on discord just confirmed it.
