You guys already know perfectly well by now that once you install Painkiller's expansion, Battle Out Of ****, the original game develops hundreds of horrendous bugs. Most of these have been addressed in the latest patch (if not, they have been addressed in fixes by fans), but there is one which I have only recently discovered, and find particularly annoying. This bug has never been addressed, and I would just like to make people aware of it.
Upon installation of BOOH, several spell effects simply disappear from the original game. This is very odd, considering that some other creatures still have exactly the same spell effects. The final Cemetery demon, Psychonuns, the four Palace finale demons, all of these creatures can still cast spells, but the particle effects are no longer visible. This is annoying for two reasons. 1. It would be helpful to see the spells in order to dodge them and avoid them. 2. These spells were absolutely spectacular, and made the game much more aesthetically pleasing. I have seen this bug in two different copies of painkiller, so I know it is not caused by a faulty CD. I have also tried fixing it myself, with no success. All I know is, the spells were visible before, and they aren't now! Does anyone know how to repair it? If not, could anyone give it a try?
