Armada Version 1.1 fixes problems with the following 3D cards:
TNT2
GeForce
Intel 810
Riva 128
*** Optimizations:
Optimization changes have been made to augment framerate. Most notably:
Smoother asteroid rendering
Ghosts (things you cannot currently see on the map but have in the past) have been optimized
Klingon Shockwave runs smoother and has a different effect.
Omega Shockwave at the end of the last mission contains less polys. This should eliminate stuttering and random crashes that may occur at this portion of the game.
*** Design:
Borg Superweapon (Transwarp Gate) drains energy over time instead of taking it all at once.
Artillery can no longer fire where it cannot see.
Sensor Jammer has more of an effect because ships can no longer fire at what they cannot see.
Disallowed targeting of all special weapons under the shroud.
Gravity Mine can now be fired while cloaked.
Build Button Menu has be reordered making it easier to use.
*** Miscellaneous:
Added a LAN IPX button and LAN IPX functionality
Made several multiplayer map changes to augment game play on these maps.
*** Troubleshooting:
If problems occur after installing this patch please make sure you have the latest 3D card drivers.
If sound glitches or random lock-ups occur please update your sound drivers and/or disable sound acceleration.
TNT2 at high screen resolutions may still have problems in 32-bit mode.
***NOTE ABOUT WIN 98 SYSTEMS
Windows 98 requires at least 24 MB of RAM at all times. If your computer only has 32 MB of RAM, this doesn't leave enough for Star Trek: Armada to run at peak performance regardless of CPU speed or the type of video card. If you only have 32 MB of RAM you may experience some long load times, framerate spikes, and long transition times between sim and shell since the game is accessing your hard drive more than would otherwise be needed. To minimize these hits to performance, we suggest you make sure nothing else is running in the background, and that you play Star Trek: Armada with the graphic settings adjusted to the lowest settings.
