Don't climb out the window, stay and fight the Unacto soldiers that blow through the door, eventually you'll "die" fighting your way out the front door of the hotel and wake up in the MJ12 facility, however your brother will still be alive.

If you manage not to die, you'll get captured at Castle Clinton. You'll be given the choice to go peacefully or be taken by force.

The studio that made the game doesn't exist anymore, so there will never be more official patches. The only thing you can do to get better graphics right now is use the OpenGL renderer you've downloaded - depending on your hardware, D3D may look better, but in most cases the enhanced OpenGL renderer should be superior.

You can also use HDTP's first release, which makes many of the game's decoration models look better.

And finally, you're almost exactly two thirds through the game.

Dude - you need to experience the game when Paul dies (as you've done) and when Paul is saved. You won't get the full experience unless you play through the game at least twice just for that bit! ;)

Guys! Don't tell him any spoilers!! He needs to experience DX in his own way - to give away details is sacrilege!

Enjoy your game Exo and welcome to OTP :)

Yep :)

Beware that once you've saved your game with HDTP, you can't open that savegame with regular DX though, so you'll have to keep using HDTP or start over.

HDTP will not improve in game videos.

I recommend you don't install HDTP or change any gfx until you've completed the game.

I's wait for our final release of HDTP anyways because the only downloadable version is very much a demo - you get so little compared to the final product which will be out soon fingers crossed :)
