- Apparently my brain was on holiday on Friday, and so there were a couple
- of errors in the "actofwar.lha" file.
-
- First, the startup-sequence is incorrect. This is very embarrassing.
- Secondly, the "Terminator!" mission needed an updated "GameTiles" file,
- and guess which one I put in the archive? The old one.
-
- To fix both of these problems, unpack this archive (aowfix.lha) onto the
- Act of War disk you have already. When it asks you if it should
- overwrite a file, type "Y" - this is what it has to do.
-
- A couple of other points that have cropped up - the game needs nearly
- all of one meg to run, so if you have just one meg you won't be able to
- run the game from the hard drive. Also, if the game won't run remember
- to disconnect all external floppies etc. to get the most possible memory.
-
- As a result of these problems, I'm going on a memory-saving binge today
- and hopefully there'll be an updated version out within the next couple
- of days, that will allow hard drive operation with one meg.
-
- My apologies for these problems, I hope they haven't put you off the
- game!
