1. INTRODUCTION [INT]
.....................
Thanks for downloading the Titan Quest/Immortal Throne Fan-Patch 1.16! 
Titan Quest, and its expansion set Immortal Throne, were the flagship product
of IronLore Entertainment. Unfortunately, the studio has since closed down,
and there will be no more fixes or additions to the already great game.

This is where the Fanpatch comes in. The Fanpatch fixes many remaining bugs
and flaws within the game and is the culmination of the hard work of many
modders from www.titanquest.net. The goal of the patch is to ensure that even
though IronLore has closed it doors, Titan Quest will be continually updated
through the effort of the fans.

So what does the Fanpatch resolve? Many, many bugs. Do you know that Triumph
does not reduces the incoming damage of enemies as advertised? That the
Nymph at level 11 and 12 does less damage at level 10? Or that the Stygian
Lurker Quest which gives you +6 to all stats is broken and that bonus are not
saved when you exit the game? The patch aims to fix such bugs, big and small.

The patch tries its best to fix the game such as to the intent of the designers,
and doesn't nerf any skills or items deliberately. No new content is added; this
patch now is purely to fix existing flaws in the game.

3. Installation and Technical Details [TECH]
...........................................     
Unzip the file and double click on the provided installer. This will change
Titan Quest's internal game database and as of yet, no uninstaller is provided.
The installer will make a backup of all files that are affected by it though.
You can safely remove the backup folder in your Titan QUest Immortal Throne root
directory without any problems, if you choose.

Players who play with the D2D version of the game, should use Tqitd.exe, whereas
all others should use the normal Tqit.exe. TqitRAND.exe should be ignored.
After installing the fan patch, you cannot play multiplayer games with other
players who does not have the fan patch...so spread the word and spread this
patch!

5. FAQ [FAQ]
............

Q. Will this patch make the game easier or harder?
A. The balance of the game is untouched, we choose to only fix the obvious bugs
   for this game. There won't be a big impact for most players.

Q. Ravages of Time is still broken!
A. You have to activate it manually now, like the Deathchill Aura. We 
   transformed the circle to a square to indicate it's an active skill now

Q. Will characters who have completed the Lurker's quest or other quests with
   messed up rewards now get the correct reward?
A. Not automatically. You'll get a message "talk to Iages" when you enter the
   game with a character that lost one or more of the rewards. Iages can be
   found near the very first portal in the game. More info on this can be found
   on tq.net

Q. It's not working like it should and I can't find it the answer in this FAQ
A. Please visit www.titanquest.net/forums and locate the official FAQ url, 
   which will be more up-to-date. If you cannot find the answer there, post
   your question there. Please do not pm the creators of this patch. Ask your
   questions publically so everyone can see the solution and the small team 
   isn't overburdened with questions. It will also allow others to answer your
   questions   

_______________________________________________________________________________

6. Troubleshooting [TBL]
........................
- If you use steam, start the game at least once after you installed it, before
  applying the patch. This should prevent cd-key issues.
- Use this patch only a clean install of TQ:IT. People 
  with previous adjustments installed have reported issues when applying this 
  patch.
