NOTE:
Save games and configuration files from older versions of Duke 3D
will be deleted if they exist. They are not compatible with the
new version of the game, and you will need to reconfigure after
installation.
-----------------------------------
December 11, 1996
Here is a quick list of the changes from v1.4 to v1.5.
1. The major bug was fixing a memory corruption error that definitely
caused the 'slowdown' bug. This bug probably fixed various other
things like some random crashes, and save/load problems. While it
might not fix everything, memory corruption is the worst possible
bug, and this one was fixed and the slowdown/massive caching
seemed to go away. If you still experience lots of disk caching
when playing the game, load SmartDrv at DOS before you play the
game. Typing "smartdrv 4000" works well.
NOTE: You will need more than 8 megs to do this.
2. Fixed a bug where the game would pop up the "Mighty Foot" weapon,
when other weapons were available. Really annoying.
3. Fixed the bug where if you save a game, exit to DOS and reload
from the main menu, you got E1L1 music, no matter what level
it was.
Thanks to many people online that tested special versions for us,
or helped provide more information very quickly. It enabled us to
get this patch done as fast as we did.
