UFO: ENEMY UNKNOWN V1.3 ----------------------- TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE, INSERT THIS UPDATE DISC IN DRIVE A: AND TYPE THE FOLLOWING; C: CD \MPS\UFO [if this is your game directory, otherwise alter path] COPY A:*.* UPDATE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! You MUST run UPDATE from the game directory and not from the patch disc as this will erase the update file from the disc and also from the game directory. Your patch disc currently contains 3 files. If your disc contains only 2, after attempting the update, then this is the mistake you have made. BUG FIXES AND NEW FEATURES WITHIN v1.3 -------------------------------------- * Please start a new game of UFO to eliminate all possibilities that the new version of the game fixes the bugs which you have seen so far. Your currently saved old games may not work properly on the new version - sorry! * The SETUP program does not require that you set the IRQ settings for the sound card, only the Memory address and the DMA channel. The normal Soundblaster defaults for this is, Address A220 and DMA 1. If you find the game crashes before you have a chance to play then this is likely the reason. * This update contains a new version of the DOS Extender, DOS4GW to fix some compatibility problems seen with the earlier release. DOS4GW is not a MicroProse program and we were not aware of these compatibility problems until after UFO was published. If you had a problem running UFO, this update will fix that as we have managed to obtain a later release of this program. * Corrupt tiles that caused multiple images to appear have been fixed. * Action points have been limited to 80 to prevent the "wrap-around" problem seen with the original release when points reached over 250 end then went to zero. * Mission variety has been improved to allow access to all types of missions when playing. * Alien intelligence has been improved to allow a tougher game. Aliens are now more aggresive and carry more powerful weaponary in their spaceships. They will also no longer stand around and wait for you to come to them, so watch your backs! * The UFO encyclopedia has been expanded to include missing entries. If you research a new item and no information is displayed after the research period is up then this is because nothing new has been learnt. This is not a bug. * The corrupt game file, UBASE_07.MAP which caused problems when entering the Alien Bases has been replaced. This previously caused the error, "CAN'T FIX Y-AXIS" to appear when entering these bases. * There is no PC Speaker support within UFO as specified in the Technical Supplement. * Some customers reported the MS-DOS error, "Note enough Environment Space" when attepting to run the program, if more than four SET commands had been made from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This has now been fixed Happy Alien hunting! Mark J Rich MicroProse Customer Services - April 12, 1994
