Works well. I found I had to retick the box for the modernizer patch at one point, in the advanced settings. Thanks for making and posting this, great game worth a replay. :)
FYI I've had success running NOLF with some compatibility settings: I set Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 and Disable fullscreen optimizations and Run this program as administrator, plus on the Change High DPI settings button / page I've enabled everything. Then the game works fine on 4k. I also sometimes have to disable Modernizer in Advanced > Customize.
is there anyway to get reshade to work with this? I got reshade to work with this game before with a wrapper but I don't remember the configuration. I have no idea what this does to the API but I've tried dgvoodoo, dxvk in various ways and nothing worked
This seriously needs updating, because whenever I play NOLF1 with Modernizer on NOLF Revival the game crashes every time I start it with this. It's also no longer possible to install Visual C++ 2019 Redist. Haekb has gone missing, and thus it's up to other people to update this.
I'm using a Radeon GPU and was having the screen stretching outside the display issue and the fix in the readme wasn't working, until I tried putting the game in windowed, then the fixed worked, just putting this here for anyone in the future
I can't even get to the main menu, it plays the logo parade, after the Lithtech ones the cursor for the menu appears for a fraction of a second and then it crashes to the desktop.

I don't know if you are able to change this with the patch but, is it possible to change the default ammo / function of a weapon to be the same as it was before the GOTY version?
Now it always defaults to any exostic ammo like dum dum rounds or poison instead of the regular ammo, same for gadgets like the Barette, instead of starting with the lockpick function it will default to the poison option.
There are also plenty of cutscenes where Cate or some other female characters use the male stance. (one example is talking to Bruno in the first mission in Morroco when you meet him)
Would it be possible to change the animation Cate uses in those cutscenes to be the default female standing stance she normaly uses?
Also the text gets pretty small once you are above 1080p.
Barely readable for 1440p, 4k and 5k. Having a scale for the text (maybe up to 500%) if that is possible, would be really nice.
I wish there is one way to play this game with more than 60fps without messing with the cutscenes and the dialog. Playing this game at 144fps is amazing, but it's really annoying when the cutscenes keep skipping.
Idk if playing with 144fps do something with the actual gameplay, but playing this time i feel the enimies more agressive and one mistake they destroy me. I'm playing in medium difficulty. Idk if the fps is messing with the game too or i'm just paranoid at this point. But i wish i can fix this.
Yep... I locked in 60 and the enemies seems a lot more "docile".
Very good work! I'm loving this so far, I've been able to replay these games without having to resort to virtual machines now.
I noticed a weird thing regarding the game's difficulty. Starting a new game on Hard seems to make the AI absolutely cracked. They deal absurd damage and react very quickly. Changing the difficulty midgame seems to fix this. It seems like the difficulty option isn't working properly until you change it once?
Maybe you was running the game like me. Over 60fps. Playing in 144fps is glorious but anything over 60's brake the game. The cutscenes and dialogs skip words and the enemies react and shoot faster. I learn that in the hard way.
Running NOLF on Windows 10 on an external 1920x1200 external DisplayPort display positioned above a 1920x1080 Intel laptop screen, I can't move the game cursor to the bottom ~15% of the external display ; instead the Windows mouse cursor appears on the laptop screen below.
I downloaded Nolf from nolfrevival.tk and am plagued with the black water-issue. Now I've downloaded this patch but I don't really know what to do with it, once downloaded. Could anyone give me a step-by-step-guide on how to get the patch working? (I really am a computer-dummy!)
Hey, good job on the patch. I had this bug where the crosshair dont work on the tutorial, but it works on the next mission, is that normal?
Do you plan do modernize some parts of the engine? Like XAudio and a newer version of DirectX? Also, can you sync the text size with the Hud size? I have some problems reading it.
You should check your startup.txt file, sounds like the file nolfgoty.rez could be missing from there. This is the file that contains the extra missions.
Note: if you're using Nolf revival version you should rename or remove WidescreenGOTY.rez from your game folder. Their version of Nolf.exe has instructions to load this file coded into it. This may override some files in Modernizer.
When i try to start NOLF with your Modernizer patch,A black box pops up in the top left corner of my screen,the cursor changes for a second and the following message pops up.
Error in CInterfaceMGR::init(): Could Not Initialize InterfaceRegMGR!
I am using the GOTY edition(1.004).Please could you help me on how to get your patch working?.
Hello, the mod works great, thank you in advance for that.
However I've encountered an issue, I'm not sure if its intentional or if its a mistake, but this mod makes my game much more difficult, the a.i. seems a lot more aggressive and accurate.
I'm using the latest patch, and I discovered this by installing the mod halfway through my playthrough. I noticed an immediate spike in the game's difficulty.
Tried my same save file, with the same difficulty (normal) and the game clearly had a difficult increase when using the Modernizer.
It's a shame because the mod really helps mitigate and resolve multiple issues, but it also seems to change the game's difficulty balance for some reason.
Thank you.
PS. I'm only using this mod, no other mods or anything that could interfere. I've also tried starting a new game to see if it fixed anything but the issue, sadly, still persists.
I'm just wondering if you have it set to 60 FPS? Some games have their AI tied to your frames, and I've noticed that older games uncapped can sometimes have results as you describe. Halo Reach for example, in the MCC, was almost impossible for me to complete on Legendary due to the space combat in Long Night of Solace, and the enemies aggressiveness being tied to the game running at 60 FPS as I soon found out. Lo and behold, I locked my game to 30 FPS using Nvidia, and I hardly struggled.
I did have the game running at 60fps with vsync enabled with both the modernizer, and without.
I don't believe it has something to do with the fps however, simply because without the modernizer it was a lot easier if it had to do with the a.i. difficulty being "tied in" with the fps then without the mod it would have been equally as difficult as with it installed.
It's a good thing to know for Halo though, I've recently been wanting to replay the games on legendary as well, so thanks for the advice.
Jesus... It ended up being a problem on my part, I reinstalled the game and the mod modernizer following every instructions to the t, and the game now plays perfectly fine, no difficulty increase of any kind.
I would like to apologize for this, it's a great mod, thanks again.
The game works without modernizer. When using your patch it say: ERROR in cinterfacemgr. ive been scrolling down but that question went unresolved. you patch sounds awesome and i dont wanna playthrough the game without it
Great work on these games! One thing I've always enjoyed was the co-op mode in NOLF2, do you know if there's any way to mod this game to play it co-op?
I'm having trouble starting up the game with the Modernizer on Win10. It keeps throwing an error when it tries to start up the game. When I don't have the Modernizer loaded, it starts up fine with no issues.

It works great for me. Thank you for your efforts. NOLF and NOLF2 are a couple of my all-time favorites.

If I enable the custom (MODERNIZER.REZ) My game can't run, "ERROR in CinterfaceMgr::Init(): Could not initialize InterfaceResMgr"
(Please help me)

I'm having an issue on Windows 11 after installing the NOLF Revival + Modernizer where after the opening cinematics it crashes back to the desktop.
Any help would be appreciated.
I can't even get to the main menu, it plays the logo parade, after the Lithtech ones the cursor for the menu appears for a fraction of a second and then it crashes to the desktop.

Oh... that would explain it. Thanks!
When I use this mod it skips all the dialog and cutscenes like it's on fast forward. How do I fix it?
It probably means the you don't have the FPS limit function on
(Menu -> Options -> Interface -> Lock Framerate)
You can experience a lot of weird issues if you don't lock nolf to 60 fps
Running NOLF on Windows 10 on an external 1920x1200 external DisplayPort display positioned above a 1920x1080 Intel laptop screen, I can't move the game cursor to the bottom ~15% of the external display ; instead the Windows mouse cursor appears on the laptop screen below.
Right after you set resolution your mouse will only move in the area it had in the old setting until you restart the game.
Just use your cursor keys to go to quit and launch the game again. Everything should work just fine then.
(Make sure that your run both Nolf.exe and Lithtech.exe as administrator to be able to save settings)
I need to run NOLF as admin with this patch otherwise error at startup when fullscreen. Windowed no problem.
Thank you so much to maximize the joy out of this amazing lovely game!!! Donations?
1. Install the official game Nolf GOTY, for example from here:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:C42A45730F7D67C0E5CC34E27A22B5B80B80393D
2. Install the official Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-download...
3. Install MODERNIZER

Thank you.
Just finished playing through NOLF,but where are the GOTY edition bonus levels?!.
In the GOTY version.
Sorry for the misunderstanding,but i do have the GOTY version.The game finishes after Such is the Nature of Revenge,Scene 2.
Strange... I'm using the version from the Nolf revival site and I can play the game and the bonus missions with this patch installed.
Check pcgamingwiki, maybe they have a solution.
You should check your startup.txt file, sounds like the file nolfgoty.rez could be missing from there. This is the file that contains the extra missions.
This is the order it should load in:
[Rez]
Rez0 = "nolf"
Rez1 = "nolf.rez"
Rez2 = "nolf2.rez"
Rez3 = "nolfdll.rez"
Rez4 = "nolfl.rez"
Rez5 = "nolfu003.rez"
Rez6 = "nolfc001.rez"
Rez7 = "nolfc002.rez"
Rez8 = "nolfgoty.rez"
Rez9 = "Custom\MODERNIZER.REZ"
Note: if you're using Nolf revival version you should rename or remove WidescreenGOTY.rez from your game folder. Their version of Nolf.exe has instructions to load this file coded into it. This may override some files in Modernizer.

Ah,okay i got it working alright.
BTW,in the Jukebox/Ambush Morraco is spelt Morroco.
Can't see the windowed option in display mode.
