Description
Fix for Gamersgate & Beamdog & Steam Versions Audio Problems : For installation, unpack to game main folder. Optionally, backup old gf_sounds.grp and main.fat. This will give you Russian voice files ; which fixes missing audio (gunshots, etc.) & issues with audio (sound that disappears, etc.). Cutscenes remains in english, there are subtitles for dialogues. Also, it adds a lot of voices acting.
Extract the archive and copy-paste its content into the main folder of the game.
Don't forget to install unnoficial patch from Wesp5 AFTER the sound-fix : Moddb.com
The community patch will replace all of the voice acting in the cutscenes with English voice acting. Also, it adds a lot of voices acting.
There are subtitles for dialogues.

This is a publisher approved unofficial patch for White Gold: War in
Paradise from Deep Shadows. It works with the Russian retail copies,
online distributed Russian versions from gamepitstop.ru or yuplay.ru
and the English releases from GamersGate, Beamdog and finally Steam.
The patch is a cumulative release and includes all earlier versions!
The patch is provided "as is" and any warranties are disclaimed. The
free redistribution of the unchanged patch is permitted but it's not
allowed to use it as a base for derivative works without permission!
Thanks go to Pavel and Alex from GFI/Russobit-M, badmofo and myers90
for their utilities, and Anders und mrhtml16 for showing me the way!
Installation:
-------------
To install the patch choose the White Gold installation directory as
destination, then select the components. The registry is not changed
but it can't be uninstalled! Thanks to Jordan Russel for Inno Setup.
Install the latest official patch before using this one and although
older saves should work, it's better to start a new game afterwards!
The voice-overs of movies and cutscenes were based upon the official
English version, the graphics were created from an official trailer,
and the translation is based on the English text in the 1.0 resource
file. It was merged into the 1.0.1/1.1 version and improved whenever
appropriate, also several minor issues and gameplay bugs were fixed!
Problems:
---------
To fix graphic issues try in 'Shared Documents' ini/videooptions.ini
DISABLESHADERMODEL30=1, RENDERLAG=1, SMOOTHFPS=1 and LIMITFPS=30, to
change widescreen FOV add FOV=80. Replacing "MotionBlur" with "copy"
in postprocess/hdr.txt disables motion blur. If you perceive flicker
on ATI/AMD cards force AA in CCC or install the patch's flicker fix.
On start crashes rename cyrillic game folder, disable desktop compo-
sition and any second monitor. If a vehicle drifts disable joystick!
If game crashes on saving, move away until corpses and such despawn.
To enable the console set Enabled=1 in ENGINESETTINGS.INI, then open
it with the ~ key below ESC and use commands ADDHEALTH and ADDARMOR.
Gameplay:
---------
If you don't hear any ingame sounds and voices, download the Russian
sound pack from here: Moddb.com
paradise/downloads/xenus-2-white-gold-russian-soundpack-sounds-fix/.
The "getting cards for two bandits" mission target is a bit off, you
can buy the card deck from a passer-by moving around the whole town.

Email by Pavel Altshul from GFI on 25.01.2011: So may I kindly ask
for your cooperation? (I would take Xenus2 as an example) I’m able
to provide you with retail Russian version + unprotected .dll’s +
Russian patch 1.1. And if it possible for you to disassemble this
patch removing Russian text out of it and packing your proofread
text in, I think it will work perfectly. And end users will have
the version with performance optimization and good texts in it.
This patch will undoubtedly have credits to you in readme (or
called “Community patch 1.1 by Wesp5” if you want). Then we will
distribute it to all our partners who sell the game, noting them
that they must refer to you as its author. Is it acceptable?
Anyway, I must note that we won’t be able to call this patch
official (as it’s made not by the developers). But “supported
by Publisher”, or “approved” or equally.
