Author: Activision
This patch will update you to the latest and greatest version of MechWarrior 2 for Windows95. To see what changes have been made, read the "Updated Features" list below.
UPDATED FEATURES
The latest version of MechWarrior 2 Windows95 is version 1.1. The patch updates your version 1.0 to version 1.1 by fixing the following reported problems:
* DirectX - We optimized our game to work with DirectX 2.0, which is Microsoft's current released version at this time of development.
As Microsoft releases newer versions of DirectX in the future, we recommend that you update to the most current version. This patch will not install DirectX for you.
* Rudder pedals - Players using various rudder pedal input devices while configured with "Torso Twist" who were unable to move their 'Mech through its normal range of motion should now be able to do so.
* Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro - Players using the Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro should no longer encounter occasional erratic control.
* Joystick Throttle Problems - Players using Joysticks whose throttles work as a third axis (eg. Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro/CH Flightstick Pro) should no longer experience joystick throttl problems.
* Sound Card conflict - When entering Cadet Training players with an IBM Mwave sound device should no longer encounter a fatal error "WAIL32.DLL".
* Sinking Mech - The occasional "underground 'Mech" at the beginning of a Trial of Position in either the Jade or Wolf missions should no longer occur.
* NetMech, Team Leader Killed - In the Team Missions, any team member can now win a mission for the team. Previously, if the team leader died, "Mission Successful" was impossible.
* "M" torso twist - While "Torso Twisting" your 'Mech, the "M" key should now center the legs to the facing direction of the torso without the previous jerky disorienting movement.
* Star formation in trials - Adjusting your star formations in the Trials of Grievance now works.
