Likewise, the script from Forest Hale would also work appropriately for those desiring to add player-made modifications for others with single-core processors as long as the following portions DO NOT BECOME PART OF THE SCRIPT:
sleep 5 taskset -p 1 `pidof Tqit.exe`
I did this to prevent crashes and graphical corruption which occur after a few minutes of play.
As far as I can tell the game actually restricts itself to one core on Windows (due to these same crashes) but the attempt fails on wine, hence this script.
With no modifications, Immortal Throne 1.30 appears to work correctly. "TQUpdater.EXE" in the Patch folder within the Immortal Throne folder will reset and erase modifications in the standard Titan Quest folder. This re-allows the icon created during the installation processes to work normally.
With the above comments, I have been able to get TQM files working.
Did you test thoroughly? The crashes and corruption take a few minutes to appear, and usually involve traveling far away from your starting location.
I am not familiar with TQUpdater.EXE, I currently have the game on Steam (where understandably such a thing would not be present), so I can't check this. (I used to have the retail game but gave it to a friend after purchasing it on Steam)
