How to Install v1.004 Update for Tenoke Release

If you already have a previous Tenoke version of Death Stranding Director’s Cut (e.g., v1.002 or v1.003), you can upgrade to v1.004 without redownloading the entire 70GB game. Here is the step-by-step process:

Prerequisites:

  • Base game: Death Stranding Director’s Cut (Tenoke clean install, version 1.002 or higher).
  • Backup your save files: Located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\KojimaProductions\DeathStrandingDC.
  • At least 15GB of free space for patch extraction.

Installation Steps:

  1. Download the Delta Patch: Locate a reliable source for the Death.Stranding.DC.Update.v1.004-TENOKE folder (typically 2.5-3GB in size).
  2. Run the Patch Executable: Inside the download, you’ll find a .exe file. Run it.
  3. Select the Game Directory: Point the patcher to your root folder where ds.exe is located (e.g., C:\Games\Death Stranding DC).
  4. Verify File Integrity: The patcher will check the CRC32 of existing files. This can take 5-10 minutes.
  5. Apply Changes: Click "Start." The patcher will modify about 12 GB of game archives.
  6. Copy Crack Files: After patching, manually copy the contents of the TENOKE folder inside the update package to your game root, overwriting the old ds.exe and DLLs.
  7. Run the Game: Launch via the new ds.exe. Check the main menu or pause screen; it should display Version 1.004.

Note: Do not apply this over a different scene group's release (like RUNE or DODI). Mixed cracks often cause launch failures. Here’s a draft review for the Death Stranding

Update to v1.004 if:

  • You are experiencing the memory leak (noticeable slowdown after many hours).
  • You want to use the scanner toggle feature (much less RSI on your index finger).
  • You have an RTX 40-series card and were bothered by DLSS ghosting.
  • You are starting a fresh playthrough and want the most stable version.

Overview

This update from Tenoke brings Kojima’s sprawling courier epic to v1.004, primarily focusing on stability, performance tweaks, and minor bug fixes. As a scene-style release, it’s lean, functional, and aimed squarely at players who already have the Director’s Cut repack or clean install.

Installation Experience

  • Size: ~350 MB (patch) – efficient for a scene update.
  • Process: Drop files into the game root, run the batch file (if included), or overwrite manually. No registry entries or external launchers required.
  • Crack status: Tenoke’s existing crack remains intact; no re-application needed for most setups.
