- Betrayal at Krondor patch
- Updates: Versions 1.0 and 1.01 to Version 1.02
- Released: October 7, 1993
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS
- This patch will update versions 1.0 and 1.01 of "Betrayal at Krondor" to
- version 1.02. If you are unsure what version you are currently using, refer
- to the label on your game disks. If you are already using version 1.02,
- there is no need to run the patch program.
-
- To use this patch program, you must first make sure you have at least 12 Megs
- (or 12288000 bytes) of non-compressed hard drive space available on the drive
- where Betrayal at Krondor has been installed. If you are using a disk
- compression utility such as DoubleSpace, Stacker, or SuperStor, then you will
- need a minimum of 24 Megs (or 24576000 bytes) of free hard drive space. To
- verify the amount of Space available, type: CHKDSK <ENTER> at your hard drive
- prompt under MS-DOS and check the "bytes available on disk" value. Make sure
- this value is equal to or greater than the values given above.
-
- NOTE - The patch only requires the 12 Megs of uncompressed hard disk space
- for updating Betrayal at Krondor--once the patch has been applied, you will
- have a majority of this 12 Megs of disk space back.
-
- If CHKDSK reports any errors found on the hard drive, then you will want to
- correct these problems using the CHKDSK/F command or a hard drive maintanence
- utility such as Norton Utilities or PC Tools. Attempting to apply this patch
- with errors on the hard drive will result in improper installation. For more
- information about correcting errors on the hard drive, please consult your
- MS-DOS manual or your hard drive maintanence utility manual for more
- information.
-
- When you are sure you have enough hard drive space and there are no errors
- found on the hard drive, then you can apply the patch. Simply copy all the
- patch files into your Betrayal at Krondor directory on the hard drive. Next,
- run the UPDATE utility by typing: UPDATE <ENTER>. While UPDATE is running,
- please wait--the entire process will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Interrupting UPDATE while it is working could result in improper installation.
- When the computer is finished updating Betrayal at Krondor, it will delete
- the patch files from your hard drive and display the message: "Update
- Complete." Once this process is complete, you will be running the latest
- version of Betrayal at Krondor.

- CHANGES IN VERSION 1.02
- The following patch will correct several extremely rare problems that have
- been reported in previous versions of the program. It also serves to offer
- minor enhancements to make game play a little more intuitive and/or easier.
- Here is a list of the changes and corrections that this patch will address:
-
- - Players can now toggle between a "fixed" and a "rotating" overhead
- map display by pressing the "n" key while viewing the overhead map.
-
- - A problem which could result in improper data saved within the
- saved game files was fixed. (Version 1.0 ONLY.) Symptom: clicking
- on houses and/or other objects in the world results in a message
- where one party member tells another he's not sure what the object
- is and that it must not be very important. To correct this problem,
- you will have to run the patch program and start a new game in
- Chapter One. You will not be able to use you current saved games.
- Dynamix highly recommends that you delete all previously saved
- games when attempting to correct this problem.
-
- - Extra rope was added to Chapter Five. It was possible for players
- to reach Chapter Five and not be able to find any rope.
-
- - The "Final Rest" lockup has been fixed. Casting the "Final Rest"
- spell on a Black Slayer could cause the game to "hang" if there was
- a dead body in the same combat cell.
-
- - More supplies have been added at the beginning of Chapter Nine.
-
- - Ability to get past the magical trap in Chapter Six. There were
- occasional problems getting past this trap.
-
- - Under unusual circumstances, a very powerful sword (available only
- in Chapter Six) could add to an opponent's HEALTH/STAMINA rather
- than take points away. This problem has been corrected.
-
- - Another clue was added in Chapter Three.
-
- - Armorcraft and weapons skills now increase at a quicker rate.
-
- - Items placed in moredhel lock chests can no longer be "stolen".
