Patches

  • Retail Patch (patch 112100) - this patch won't work with minimal installation of the game.[1]
Verifying version of the game[citation needed]
  1. To confirm if you need to install the patch open the Help file installed with The Fallen.
  2. Go to Start Menu/Programs/Deep Space Nine-The Fallen/Help
  3. The very last line shows the current build.
  4. If the build is "Build110800-d-US" or "Build110800-d-EU-sr" then you need to install the patch.
It is recommended to install this patch after updating a game to version 112100 / retail patch.

Unreal Engine DirectX 11 Renderer

A fork of Kentie's Direct3D 10 renderer that adds more graphical features.
Run games at HD resolution.
Improved lighting.
Adds ambient occlusion, screen space reflections and higher quality HDR post-processing.
Places a temporary watermark in the bottom right, and copies the developers PayPal link to your clipboard. Follow these instructions to disable the watermark and remove the PayPal link from being inserted into your clipboard.
Disable DirectX 11 renderer's PayPal watermark and disable the link from being inserted.

Removing watermark: Set SupportMETextEnabled to False through Advanced OptionsRenderingDirect3D 11 support. If the render crashes while attempting to access the Advanced Options, modify this value manually through the game's <game>.ini with a text editor (see configuration file(s) location).

Preventing the renderer from inserting the developer's PayPal link into your clipboard:

  1. Download a hex editor such as HxD, install it, launch HxD and open d3d11drv.dll in HxD.
  2. Search for this hex value:
    • 77 77 77 2E 70 61 79 70 61 6C 2E 6D 65 2F 64 61 72 6B 6E 6F 76 69 73 6D 63
  3. Replace the value with this:
    • 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  4. Save the changes. The renderer will now only clear your clipboard instead.

Demo Levels

Fusion Creative Design created 3 special levels for a demo version of the game. These levels were later on released as a free addon for the full game and can be downloaded here (Convergence for Windows V1.1).

Issues fixed

Freeze when loading data from CD

For some reason, even if a full version of a game is installed, some data are still being loaded from CD. This may result in a freeze when using physical compact disk, due to game waiting for a disk drive to spin the disk and load a data from it.

Fixing freezing using Windows registry[citation needed]
  1. Install a Full version of a game.
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\The Collective Studios inc.\Deep Space Nine The Fallen\ds9thefallen
  3. Right click on installpath and click modify.
  4. Copy the data from it (it's going to be a path to a folder, where you've installed a game).
  5. Right click on CdPath and click modify.
  6. Replace its data with data you've copied from installpath.
Fixing freezing using virtual CD drive[citation needed]
  1. Install a game from a virtual CD drive.
  2. Run a game using an image in virtual CD drive.

Camera keeps spinning, when a Joystick is enabled

Lower joystick sensitivity[citation needed]
  1. Open a console by pressing ~.
  2. Type in: preferences.
  3. Open a Joystick tab.
  4. Lower both ScaleRUV and Scale XYZ values.

MSI Afterburner issues

Change the settings in RivaTuner[citation needed]

Depending on the setting, the overlay may not be shown, or the game may crash upon pressing the overlay button.

  1. After launching MSI Afterburner, open the RivaTunerStatisticsServer from the system tray.
  2. Add ds9.exe from <path-to-game>\system\ to the settings.
  3. Set "Application detection level" to "high" and Stealth mode to "ON".
