COMMAND & CONQUER UPDATE PATCH. VERSION 1.07 ----> VERSION 1.19p
**************************************************************************
The patch file for Command & Conquer updates version 1.07 to version 1.19p.
To install the patch file, simply copy the PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP files to
the directory that you installed Command & Conquer to (this is usually the
C:\C&C directory). After the files are copied, simply type PATCH to begin
the update process.
This update addresses these items :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WINDOWS 95 MODEM PLAY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch improves modem play under Windows 95 for some people.
It is still highly recommended that you turn error correct/data
compression off on your modem with the correct initialization
string. Check your modem manual for more information about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. USR 14,400/28,800 UART SPEED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addresses US Robotics modem connect problems at 14,400 or 28,800
baud.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. DIAMOND VIPER PALETTE/COLOR PROBLEM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addresses a special problem detected in DIAMOND VIPER video card
support. If you experience new palette problems try adding the
following line to the CONQUER.INI file under the [OPTIONS] section.
[Options]
SlowPalette=0
Save the CONQUER.INI file with the new changes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MOVIES DO NOT PLAY WHEN CD IS SWAPPED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addresses the fact that briefings and cutscenes do not appear if
you choose the NOD disk when playing from disk 1, or any time
that you swap disks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. INCLUDES THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS DOCUMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A file that contains the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
regarding Command & Conquer has been included. Please read this
file to get the latest information and answers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. FIXES MONEY REFUND PROBLEM WHEN SELLING SILOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The money refunded when selling a silo was being credited
incorrectly. This has been fixed. In order for a fixed
version to play with an unfixed version -- possible when
in a multiplayer game -- a special command line option
must be used. Pass the parameter "-o" to the C&C.EXE
executable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. COST OF NOD TURRETS CHANGED TO 600 CREDITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost of Nod Turrets has changed to 600 credits. This
addresses a balance issue regarding Nod turret production.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. NUCLEAR WEAPON STUFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On those missions which feature the Temple of Nod, some
people have experienced difficulty when trying to fire
the nuclear weapon. This version addresses that problem
by ensuring that the weapon is available on those missions.
If you have a saved game from one of these missions you
can get the nuclear weapon by loading the saved game and
then restarting the mission.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. CHEATING IN VERSIONS 1.07 & 1.18P
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some people discovered a way to cheat using versions 1.18P
and 1.07 such that it is possible to place a structure at
any position in the map, breaking the normal adjacent
building rule. This has been fixed in version 1.19P but you
should be aware that 1.19P still connects to 1.18P and 1.07,
so a person cheating with the older versions (if connected
to the version 1.19P) will cause a modem or IPX game to fail
with a "Games are out of sync" message. You read it here first.
