KINGPIN: Life of Crime (TM) - Patch v1.1 notes
==============================================

Please read "readme.txt" contained within your Kingpin directory for
more detailed instructions regarding Kingpin.

This patch mostly addresses issues related to Multiplayer Kingpin.
A complete list of fixes and changes can be found in "patch11.txt"
found within this package.


====================================
NOTES
====================================
Unfortunately, you will not be able to use games saved with the previous
version of Kingpin. If this is not acceptible for you, then we recommend
you do not upgrade until you have completed your current saved game(s).


====================================
KNOWN ISSUES
====================================
If Kingpin crashes immediately after the Interplay/Xatrix animations
(before getting to the main menu), it is possible that a previous
3dfx card installation is causing the crash. If you have previously
installed a 3dfx card in your system, which has since been removed,
you should delete the "glide2x.dll" file found in your system directory.

This is usually "c:\windows\system". The easiest way to find this file,
is to right-click on your windows directory from within explorer, select
"Find...", then in the "Named:" box, enter "glide*.dll". Then select
"Find Now".

If any matches are found, select them and then select "Delete" from the
File menu.


====================================
