- Aces of the Deep Patch
- Version 1.2 Release Notes
-
- I. Installing
-
- To install, type AODPATCH <ENTER>. The program will then ask you which
- language you wish to install. If your program is not in the default
- C:\DYNAMIX\AOD directory, you must type "AODPATCH [directory]" where
- [directory] is the location that you have installed AoD. For example,
- if you have installed the game to your D drive in a GAMES\AODSIM directory,
- you would type: AODPATCH D:\GAMES\AODSIM <ENTER>.
-
- If you install the Patch Disk in a different language from your original
- game (AoD or AoD CD), you will get some text in each language when you
- run the simulation. If you wish to change languages, you must re-install
- the game and the Patch Disk to select the desired language.
-
- If you make a mistake and install the Patch Disk with the wrong language,
- you won't need to reinstall the game. Simply reinstall the Patch Disk
- with the proper language selected.
-
- This patch includes fixes for both the original Aces of the Deep as well
- as the Expansion Disk. If you purchase the Expansion Disk at a later
- time, it will be necessary to re-install the patch after installing the
- Expansion Disk.
-
-
- II. Saved Games
-
- Career games saved under AoD or AoD CD might not load properly into your
- simulation once you have installed the Patch Disk, unless you saved the
- game while in port. To preserve a career saved while at sea you must
- first bring your skipper into port and save the game before you install
- the Patch disk.
-
-
- III. Torpedo Tracks
-
- At high levels of difficulty AoD will no longer display the tracks of
- torpedoes that have been fired. This makes playing AoD at elite levels
- somewhat more difficult than before. You will need to use your stopwatch
- to keep track of the progress of your torpedoes if you are using the
- simulation at a realistic setting.
-
-
- The following were included in the AoD Expansion Disk:
-
- 1) When saving a game, the number of deck gun rounds remaining will
- be correctly saved.
-
- 2) A gauge has been added showing amount of compressed air and water
- in the boat; this should make it more obvious to the player when the
- cause is lost.
-
- 3) If the player is on the surface and no hostile units are in view,
- player can time compress up to 512x, and if no hostile units are PRESENT
- IN AREA upto over 4000x.
-
- 4) Torpedoes were vanishing from the torpedo loading screen; this was
- fixed.
-
- 5) The music for "Ride of the Valkyres" and "It's a long way to
- Tipperary" have been added.
-
- 6) Stop watch is fixed
-
- The following have been fixed since the release of the Expansion disk:
-
- 7) Stern tubes were loading, even when 100% damaged.
-
- 8) Crash on reporting contact bug fixed.
