{{ii}} Two demos were made for the game ([https://www.ttlg.com/tnova/archive/index.htm download]): one of them has a single mission not in the main game, while the other has three unique missions that show the events leading up to the beginning of the main game. The one-mission version reports itself as 'version D1.01', while the three-mission version identifies as 'version D2.00'.

{{ii}} The latest official patch is [https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4169/7/ v1.09]. The GOG.com release is already patched.

 +
===Fix missing cutscenes===
 +
If the GOG version (and potentially Steam) is missing briefings proceed with the following:
 +
 
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Method|ref={{cn|August 2023}}|fix=
 +
# Go to {{folder|{{p|game}}\TN}}.
 +
# Open {{file|TN.cfg}} in a text editor.
 +
# Change all mentions of {{code|c:\tnnova}} to {{code|c:\tn}}
 +
# Now, mount the {{file|.iso}} file from {{folder|{{p|game}}\CD\TNF108.cue}}.
 +
# Open the contents of the {{file|.iso}} file, and copy over the {{folder|MOVIE}} folder into {{folder|{{p|game}}\TN}}.

Two demos were made for the game (download): one of them has a single mission not in the main game, while the other has three unique missions that show the events leading up to the beginning of the main game. The one-mission version reports itself as 'version D1.01', while the three-mission version identifies as 'version D2.00'.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to <path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
