    I recall finding this file in the "data/Players" directory of Arcanum.

    I can't find any mention of it on google. What the hell is it?

    I don't have this file in my installation, which version of Arcanum do you have? gog.com?

    btw, I found some "fancy" stuff some time ago too:

    art/container/shitchest.art

    art/scenery/rug02.art

    :-o :lol:

    I have the retail version on the other computer, which also has it.

    On this computer I recently downloaded and installed the GOG version. It is there.

    I didn't see that text until I had to buy the GOG version, so I'm guessing it's a newer "thing". It really serves no purpose.

    I need confirmation on whether or not it's on the retail installation. <.<

    And by that I mean, unpatched, clean install.

    No, not on a clean install. Anything after 1074 for sure. I don't remember it being there when I still had my install cd's. My most recent disk installation was less than one year ago, eh.txt wasn't in the data folder.

    It isn't a new thing. My current installation is from a rather old pair of CDs and I always had this file. Might have something to do with the multiplayer, which was hardly working in vanilla Arcanum.

    It's always a shame when quality content ends up unused in the final product.

    I always had the eh.txt, not sure about these beautiful art though.

    I have this file. I just assumed it was something the developers threw in after they'd finished as a kind of 'and that's the end of that chapter.' *tosses scarf over shoulder*
