Missing sound effects / "The Dark" prototype footage being corrupted
- The Steam version's
CondemnedA.Arch00
is noticeably smaller when compared to the retail game. Because of this, and reversed audio files within the.Arch00
file, many sounds are simply missing from the Steam version. In particular, the train sounds at the end of Chapter 3 are missing.[1] The footage from "The Dark" game prototype is also corrupted.[2]
Use replacement files or xdelta patch[citation needed] |
