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.
