Good luck with that dude, doubt you'll get past the mission Hide and Seek unless you've patched the game...
I got past it without patching. It was a hard mission, and I had to try it several times, but once I realized where all of the mortar crews were I was able to gun them down before they shot down the Zeppelin.
In fact, I'm only now downloading the patch and the trainer. There were a few missions I had trouble on, but most of it was because when the framerate drops, the mouse movement becomes so sluggish that I couldn't look left and right to aim (the PhysX killed me, even with my GTX260). That and I have a tendency to rush ahead (even without cheats) and hit the enemy head-on before friendlies have a chance to catch up, and that doesn't work too well with a musket...
And, as I type this, I realize that I need to change my name (if that's possible). I'm not in {XF} anymore.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world...
this really sucks i am still stuck on the zepplin mission, i keep getting shot down no matter what i do or how many times i try this mission. does anyone have a save game file right after this mission so i can get on with this game????? or do i have to put this game up on the shelf and not play it anymore.
ok i finally passed it, here is what i did. I enabled the console in the settings options then while im playing i used the tilde(~)key then typed in the code clear-npcs. then everytime i started taking damage again i used the cheat code again. hope this helps
