This Graphics+ upgrade will only patch DOS versions of EF2000 that have Tactcom applied and is compatible only with 3Dfx Voodoo and Rendition Verite graphics cards. The upgrade is not compatible with Voodoo Rush 3Dfx cards.
Firstly, re-install Tactcom. Do not run it or set up the Preferences. Then when you have
downloaded the zip file, unzip it and copy the tactpat.exe file to your EF2000 directory and run it from within Windows'95.
Choose your 3D card type from the menu, and your files will be updated. Next, rename your EF2000 directory to Tactcom. You can run the game by double clicking on the EF2000.PIF file in the Tactcom directory. Don't run the EF2000.EXE! The Graphics+ upgrade will also upgrade your version of DOS EF2000 to DOS EF2000V2.0.
For those users in the USA who have purchased Tactcom from the UK, you will also be able to apply this upgrade.
