== Titan Quest or Immortal Throne? ==
+
{{Introduction
−
Immortal Throne is the only expansion for the game. It brings many seamless enhancements to the original campaign and works as an add-on; therefore, the original Titan Quest must be installed. Immortal Throne is required for most patches and mods, as it's been adopted by the majority of the playerbase. Therefore a bundle of Titan Quest and Immortal Throne is the most desireable version for newcomers (sometimes bundled as Titan Quest Gold). Original version characters can be also imported into Immortal Throne, but the best option is to start a new game within Immortal Throne.
+
|introduction      =  
  
−
== Fan patch 1.17a ==
+
|release history  =  
−
The general consensus is to play the game using [http://www.titanquest.net/tq-forum/threads/29712-REL-Bugfix-patch-1.17 patch 1.17a], which is a fan-made community patch that fixes many bugs and technical issues left in the game after Iron Lore's closure (but does not alter its balance). This patch requires Immortal Throne. The patch is included with some mods, such as Underlord.
 
  
−
The usage of the fan patch is strongly advised if the player plans to choose the "Spirit Mastery" for his character, because otherwise important skills of this mastery are bugged and will not work.
+

=== Installation of the fan patch for Steam install ===
+
'''General information'''
−
1. Save the 1.17a file in the Steam folder for Titan Quest Immortal Throne:
+
{{mm}} [https://steamcommunity.com/app/4540/discussions/ Steam Community Discussions]
−
<pre>\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Titan Quest Immortal Throne\</pre>
 
  
−
Do not save the patch in the original Titan Quest folder.
+
==Availability==
 +
{{Availability|
 +
{{Availability/row| Retail |  | Disc, key | {{DRM|SecuROM|7}} | | Windows }}
 +
{{Availability/row| Steam | 4540 | Steam | | | Windows | unavailable }}
 +
}}
 +
{{ii}} A free demo version is available from [https://archive.org/details/TitanQuest_201404 Archive.org].
  
−
2. Make sure you've run both Titan Quest and Immortal Throne (separately) at least once in the past. This will let the games create registry entires and config files that the installer will use to detect the installation.
+
===Version differences===
 +
{{ii}} The '''Gold Edition''' includes the base game and the Immortal Throne expansion.
 +
{{ii}} The '''[[Titan Quest Anniversary Edition|Anniversary Edition]]''' has a working multiplayer and is free to anyone who registers a Steam copy of Titan Quest.
  
−
3. Run the 1.17a installer.
+
==Monetization==
 +
{{DLC|
 +
{{DLC/row| Immortal Throne |  | Windows }}
 +
}}
  
−
4. Run Titan Quest Immortal Throne from the Steam client. The title screen should read v.1.17sd in the bottom right corner.
+
==Essential improvements==
 +
===Official patch===
 +
{{ii}} The latest official patch for the base game is 1.30r2, available [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4402/7/ here].
 +
{{ii}} The Immortal Throne expansion did not receive official patches.
  
−
It's highly recommended to disable automatic updating in the Steam client for modded games. Iron Lore (creators of the game) closed down in 2008 and won't release any more updates, but a bug in the Steam client may force the program to download the game entirely again, with the GUI reporting it as an update. If the bug occurs, it'll reset the entire game installation, forcing you to reinstall the fanpatch and any mods you may have had.
+
===Unofficial patch 1.17a===
 +
{{mm}} [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4403/7/33903 Download mirror]
 +
{{ii}} Already included with some mods, strongly advised. It fixes many bugs and technical issues left in the game. Immortal Throne expansion is mandatory.
 +
{{ii}} Do not save the patch in the original Titan Quest folder.
  
−
To disable automatic updating, right-click the game in your Library, click Properties, then Updates, then choose the second option.
+

Caravan storage is not transferred in the same way as save game data, as it's incompatible with Windows profiles with a different name. TQ Defiler can be used to fix this problem. TQ Vault can also backup or transfer data, or sync this TQ Vault save folder:

Simply transferring caravan storage data without the appropiate fixing will result in the storage being completely and irreversibly wiped once it's loaded the first time.

Download mirror
Already included with some mods, strongly advised. It fixes many bugs and technical issues left in the game. Immortal Throne expansion is mandatory.
Do not save the patch in the original Titan Quest folder.

TQ Defiler

A versatile program with built-in mods, intro skip option and a character editor (either to fix/restore broken characters or to cheat).
Make TQDefiler to work with just the base game[2]
  1. Download game.dll and extract it.
  2. Replace game.dll inside <path-to-game> with the downloaded one.

Skip intro videos

Delete, rename or move video files[citation needed]

Mix and match Steam and non-Steam original and expansion

Regedit original game filepath[3]
  1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Iron Lore\Titan Quest.
  2. Check if Install Location exists.
  3. If it does not, create a new String Value and call it Install Location.
  4. Modify the value to contain the full path of the original Titan Quest folder.
  5. Check if Version exists.
  6. If it does not, create a new String Value and call it Version.
  7. Modify the value to 1.30
  8. Immortal Throne should now be installable.
