GOG.com POD GOLD - Language Packs

The following archives can be extracted into the game folder to add a language: The game language can be changed in the <pod_gold_gog>\UBISOFT\ubi.ini.

On Windows Vista or newer you should have a look at the %LocalAppData%\VirtualStore directory (the Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility shims might/will virtualize the write access because %ProgramFiles%, %ProgramFiles(x86)%, and %windir% are read-only by default).

The archives have been created by extracting the language specific files from the following POD patches: The case of the file names has been changed to support installations on Linux (Wine).

Rob,

in a previous topic, NiCode gave us a link to that page : http://home.arcor.de/hbredel/POD/POD-En ... glish.html
It speaks about this page : http://www.gog.com/gamecard/pod_gold where they sell a POD which they say is Windows7 compatible ...
I may be worth trying for 6 dolars ...

It works well.

http://pod.nicode.net/gold/gog/ has been updated with instructions how to get the Data Patcher and POD Patches working (e.g. FF/GS2 patches).

The proprietary Glide wrapper in the release has some drawbacks.
But with PodHacks you can switch to nGlide or dgVoodoo.

I also regressed to sort of 10 years when I played pod again last month. It'll be ok Rob, just a couple of days and you'll be normal again.

Using POD Gog's version, I have POD running in 3dfx mode on Windows 7 64-bit.
The oly trick I had to use is that the glide.exe will not work on 64-bit, so I just manually unzipped the glide.exe file and copied files in C:\Windows\SysWow64 !
Have to use the other tricks now !
Stay tuned !

Why not "fluent" ? Shouldn't it be smooth with all that power we have now ?
What about the game speed, no issues like when you don't use the GS2 patch ?

Seems like the GOG version has all it installed by default ...
By default it does not install where the old POD lived (C:\Ubisoft\POD_2) and the 3dfx patch (or other patches I guess) are not able to find the ubi.ini file ... still I had nothing to install to have it running in 3dfx, but the glide stuff I mentionned above ...
Install it ;) You will see ;)

My GOG account is

email : grouik_grokon@hotmail.com
passeord : pod3dfx

You may get it from there ... but paying is not a bad idea ;)

Yes, no preparations required. It just works out of the box.

Now a third time: http://pod.nicode.net/gold/gog/ :)

If you want to use another POD binary: create the ubi.ini, add the InstData, install the patch, install an alternate Glide wrapper and install/apply PodHacks.

You do not need the GS2 patch, because nGlide and dgVoodoo support VSync.
However, patches are nice to get Force Feedback support or to install the D3D5 version for playing the Arcade track.

ps: the lens flare effect (e.g. Veitland) is expected to be working with the upcoming nGlide 1.01 release.
