===Version differences===
Immortal Throne is the only expansion for the game. It brings many seamless enhancements to the original campaign and works as an add-on. It requires the original Titan Quest to be installed. Immortal Throne is required for most patches and mods.

{{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.
A bundle of Titan Quest and Immortal Throne is the most desirable version for newcomers (Oftentimes called 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.
 
 
 
The German version offered by Steam is a low violence version and only available in German by default. English language support can be patched in, the game itself will stay low violence, though.

====English Language Patch====
 
As noted above, the German version is a low violence version with German texts and dialog only. To enable English language support you have to download the language pack and replace a number of files in the installation folder of Titan Quest.
 
The full instructions (in German) and the language pack can be found [http://titanquest.4fansites.de/download,1083,Englisches_Sprachpaket.html here].

===Skip intro videos===
Acts as an external, independent, shared inventory. You can create unlimited Vaults, each holding whichever items you put in them. Useful for creating collections of rare items or "twinking" (giving characters items found by other characters, generally from later parts of the game and higher quality). It also has some item-editing features, such as the ability to change a relic's completion bonus, clone items or complete sets. User's of the Steam version of Titan Quest cannot use this tool. Use will likely result in corruption of all characters edited by the program.

Acts as an external, independent, shared inventory.

It also has some item-editing features, such as the ability to change a relic's completion bonus, clone items or complete sets. Users of the Steam version of Titan Quest cannot use this tool, as use will likely result in corruption of all characters edited by the program.

Official patch

The latest official patch for the base game is 1.30r2, available here.
The Immortal Throne expansion did not receive official patches.

Unofficial patch 1.17a

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

Can fix the RNG, slow casting and the socket error
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.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/4540/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (4540) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
