I did a quick search and didn't find anything about this, excuses if I missed it.

Along with the latest patch, Arkane has released the source code to Arx Fatalis: http://arkane-studio...x_downloads.php!

Enjoy the DirectX7 and globals-based functional programming goodness :)

Comrade, Listen! The Glorious Commonwealth's first Airship has been compromised! Who is the saboteur? Who can be saved? Uncover what the passengers are hiding and write the grisly conclusion of its final hours in an open-ended, player-driven adventure. Dziekujemy! -- Karaski: What Goes Up...
I eagerly await the moment when someone with more free time than I makes a nice new source update and then ports this to the Mac.

It's a great game, and I'm happy to see that there's not just this source code release but a long-term support patch to work better on modern PCs.

niiiice, this was on my "to be played" list, but the graphics always scared me a little.

but now we can make the game look better ourselves :)

i wish more developers would release source codes of old games, what do they have to lose?

One of the reasons I've heard is that third party licensed libraries (fmod, sofdec, etc) don't enjoy having the code that calls them (and especially not their code/binaries, which are required to build it in the first place) open-sourced.

Other reasons probably include publishers getting cranky about having their precious jewels released openly for people to pick through. Only a few companies are doing it, and it's usually the ones that self-publish.
Thanks for sharing it Koobazaur :)
