Applying Upgrades ----------------- The following instructions assume that you have installed Civil War to a directory C:\CIVILWAR and that you have downloaded the upgrade file called CW201_A.ZIP into a directory call C:\DOWNLOAD. You change the appropriate part of the instructions to match your setup. Using PKZIP from the DOS prompt ------------------------------- Type in the following: C: CD \CIVILWAR PKUNZIP -D -O C:\DOWNLOAD\CW201_A.ZIP Using WinZip in Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 ----------------------------------------- * Start WinZip * Click on the "Open" Icon * Use the Open File Dialog to find the upgrade file you downloaded and click on "Open". * Click on the "Extract" Icon. * Make sure that "Use Directory Names" is ticked * Make sure that "Overwrite Existing Files" is ticked * Use the "Directories/Drives" window to locate C:\CIVILWAR * Click on Extract. Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about upgrading ====================================================== Q) Can I use my old saved games with the new version? A) Yes... New versions of Civil War will read in saved games from old versions, but not the other way round. One exception, is if you are upgrading from V1.0.0, then old saved games will not work unless you delete GAMEDATA\START.CAM from your hard disk. Q) Which Files do I need? A) There are 3 files to upgrade to 2.0.1, which files you need depend on which version you are upgrading from. You can find out which version you already have by looking on the main menu screen of the game. The version number is displayed underneath the picture. CW201_M.ZIP : This is needed to upgrade from the Master Player's Edition, or from Version 2.0.x CW201_A.ZIP : This is needed if you are upgrading from version 1.x.x CW201_4M.ZIP : This is an additional file to either of the above files if you are trying to play the game with only 4 Megs of RAM in your machine. However, I would advise you to upgrade your computer instead. Q) After I updated, their doesn't seemt to be any difference to the program, or I am getting "Illegal Sprite Number" error messages. A) You did not use the -d option with PKZip, or you did not select the "Use Directory Names" option with WinZip. Unless you use these options, all the files will end up in the main Civil War directory and the program will not work properly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
