- Strife v1.2 Updater Readme - 30 Apr 1996
- ==========================
- This document contains some important and interesting information
- pertaining to the Strife updater.
-
- The Strife 1.2 Updater comes in two flavors. One for
- DOS and one for Windows. They both do the exact same thing, so
- just pick the platform you are more comfortable using.
-
- Notes on the Update:
- --------------------
- * APPLYING THIS PATCH WILL INVALIDATE ALL YOUR SAVED GAMES. To avoid
- problems with incompatible versions of Strife, the version that
- creates saved games is stored in the save game files. If they do
- not match, Strife WILL NOT LOAD your save game.
- If you have already played Strife for a significant amount of time,
- you may want to wait until you've finished the game before you
- update. Read about the items that were changed and make your
- decision.
-
- * If you've already run the patch, and decided you shouldn't have,
- you can copy the files STRIFE1.EXE and STRIFE1.WAD from the
- Strife CD back into your Strife directory by hand.
-
- Files that have changed:
- ------------------------
- STRIFE1.EXE, STRIFE1.WAD, SETUP.EXE, README.TXT, MULTI.TXT, VERSION.TXT.
-
- Things that have been changed:
- ------------------------------
- * Fixed a bug in network play that caused consistency failures.
-
- * Fixed a few little items on the levels, mostly cleanup and positioning
- problems.
-
- * Changed the default for conversation text to ON when you specify
- no sound card.
-
- To apply the patch, simply run the patch program that you downloaded,
- STRIFE12.EXE. It will walk you through the update process.
-
- It will ask you to locate the directory that you installed Strife in,
- and then will update the files there.
-
- The updater requires approximately 30 MB free space on the drive that
- you have Strife installed on. This is used temporarily while the patch
- program creates the updated .WAD file.
