- NOTES ABOUT FIXES SINCE RELEASE VERSION
- ---------------------------------------
-
- PATCH1 5.26.0 (25.11.1999)
-
- - workaround for 32bpp video playback
-
- - workaround for voodoo3 drivers v1.03.04 (no interior view when playing a
- stage with rain or snow)
-
- Create a text file called RAL.CFG in the VAR directory and add the line:
- v3driverfix=1
-
- It has been reported that driver v1.02.11 does not exhibit the same
- problems and actually runs better than the later drivers. If you use
- these drivers you will not need the above fix.
-
- - several bug fixes in network code
-
- - problem running on 8Mb voodoo card fixed
-
- Instructions for 8Mb voodoo card owners:
-
- As you cannot install the game using the exe on the CD, you will need
- to ensure that the current directory do the following to install the game.
-
- 1. unzip the patch to your hard disk eg C:\PATCH
- 2. open a dos prompt box
- 3. change directory to the Rally CD eg D:
- 4. run the new exe eg C:\PATCH\RAL.EXE
- 5. install the game
- NOTE: Immediately after installation the game is run, this will be the
- old exe that will stop with the original error message. Click OK and
- continue to step 6.
- 6. copy the new ral.exe over the one just installed
- 7. run the new exe from the hard disk
-
- Alternatively, another way is to unzip the patch as normal and create
- a shortcut to the new exe ensuring that the 'target' is the new exe
- and the 'start in' directory points to the Rally Championship CD
-
- NOTE. You will not be able to autorun the Rally CD to run the game.
