PC Powerplay

As any gamer knows, a game is only ever as good as the patch that comes after its pre-mature holiday season release. Take Sin for example! And that's just what this section of the CD is for. Patches, more patches, and nothing but patches. Every month we'll endeavour to provide the latest list for all the most popular games, particularly those which we've reviewed in previous issues.

Jedi Knight II
There are two patches here. The first - JKIIUp104.exe - is the v1.04 update for Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.
The second is apparently an update for Jedi Knight II which adds adds 3D Sound support, Force Feedback support, several single-player bug fixes, four new multiplayer Duel maps and numerous multiplayer improvements and corrections...I think. Don't have the game installed so it's a bit hard to tell. Hopefully the installers will have some clear info.

Version: 1.4
File Name: JKIIUp104.exe / JKIIUp5_6.exe
File Size: 9 MB / 6.7 MB
