- A. Installing the Patch
-
- To update version 1.00 of Football Pro '96 to version 1.01,

- game (i.e. C:\SIERRA\FBPRO96). Change to the game directory,
- type UPDATE and press <Enter>.
-
- =========================================================================
-
- B. Bugs Fixed in Version 1.01
-
- This patch disk makes the following revisions to Front
- Page Sports: Football Pro '96, version 1.00:
-
- * Corrected the problem with 30 team custom leagues where occasionally
- a team would play the same team twice.
-
- * Corrected the problem where crowd sounds would stop after picking a
- play.
-
- * Corrected excessive punts/field goal blocks.
-
- * Corrected lockup when trying to watch a computer vs. computer league
- game.
-
- * Corrected stats.c assertion failed problem.
-
- * Corrected play clock not functioning correctly at the start of the
- second half.
-
- * Corrected problem of not being able to recognize the FB:Pro 96 CD when
- the CD-Rom drive letter was greater than "O:".
-
- * Corrected scrolling crash message that occurs when trying to view the
- introduction on some machines. If you continue to experience problems
- with the introduction try setting your sound device to "no digital
- digital device" in soundset.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- C. Updating Plays, Plans and Profiles from Football Pro '95 for use with
- Football Pro '96.
-
- * Game plans containing references to STOCK plays from Football Pro '95
- will show up with "play not found!" messages in Football Pro '96.
-
- Solution: In order to use STOCK plays from football Pro '95 in Football
- Pro '96, use Football Pro '95 to save all of the STOCK plays
- you wish as custom plays. Then run the PPPUPDAT utility to
- update these custom plays to Football Pro '96 format.
-
- * Game asserts with logic.c: 212 message when you use custom special teams
- plays from Football Pro '95 in Football Pro '96.
-
- Solution: The special teams plays in Football Pro '96 are very similiar
- to the special teams plays from Football Pro '95. Edit the
- special teams plays from Football Pro '96 to match the edits
- you have made to the ones from Football Pro '95. Football
- Pro '96 will not work properly with customized special teams
- plays from Football Pro '95.

- on these machines. However, some 8 megabyte RAM systems may experience

- problem but due to the variety of computer configurations available we
- do not have a complete solution at this time.
