1. Update Notes

---------------

 

This Update contains all the fixes from previous patches, and it can

be applied to any version of the game. Earlier patches do not need

to be applied.

 

This Update also raises the mimimum system requirement for the game to

the following:

 

OS: Windows 2000/XP

Processor: 1.0 GHz

Memory: 1.0 GB RAM

Hard Drive: 1.2 GB free space

Video Card: 128 MB DirectX 9.0c

 

After installing this Update, the game may require newer version of

DirectX to run correctly. Please visit the Microsoft website at

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...6a-9b6652cd92a3

 

to download and install the latest version of DirectX.

 

We highly recommend you install this update over a clean install of

the game - uninstall the game first, manually delete the folder to

remove any mods not uninstalled, reinstall the game from original CD,

then apply the Update.

 

Many previous mods are not fully compatible with this Update. If

you find any mods not working correctly, please check with mod-makers

to provide you with updated version of their mods.
