- UFO: ENEMY UNKNOWN V1.3
- -----------------------
-
- TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE, INSERT THIS UPDATE DISC IN DRIVE A: AND TYPE
- THE FOLLOWING;
-
-
- C:
- CD \MPS\UFO [if this is your game directory, otherwise alter path]
- COPY A:*.*
- UPDATE
-
-
-
- IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!
- You MUST run UPDATE from the game directory and not from the patch
- disc as this will erase the update file from the disc and also from
- the game directory.
-
- Your patch disc currently contains 3 files. If your disc contains
- only 2, after attempting the update, then this is the mistake you
- have made.

- BUG FIXES AND NEW FEATURES WITHIN v1.3
- --------------------------------------
-
- * Please start a new game of UFO to eliminate all possibilities
- that the new version of the game fixes the bugs which you have
- seen so far. Your currently saved old games may not work properly
- on the new version - sorry!
-
- * The SETUP program does not require that you set the IRQ settings
- for the sound card, only the Memory address and the DMA channel.
- The normal Soundblaster defaults for this is, Address A220 and DMA 1.
- If you find the game crashes before you have a chance to play then
- this is likely the reason.
-
- * This update contains a new version of the DOS Extender, DOS4GW to
- fix some compatibility problems seen with the earlier release.
- DOS4GW is not a MicroProse program and we were not aware of these
- compatibility problems until after UFO was published. If you had a
- problem running UFO, this update will fix that as we have managed to
- obtain a later release of this program.
-
- * Corrupt tiles that caused multiple images to appear have been fixed.
-
- * Action points have been limited to 80 to prevent the "wrap-around"
- problem seen with the original release when points reached over 250
- end then went to zero.
-
- * Mission variety has been improved to allow access to all types of
- missions when playing.
-
- * Alien intelligence has been improved to allow a tougher game.
- Aliens are now more aggresive and carry more powerful weaponary in
- their spaceships. They will also no longer stand around and wait for
- you to come to them, so watch your backs!
-
- * The UFO encyclopedia has been expanded to include missing entries.
- If you research a new item and no information is displayed after the
- research period is up then this is because nothing new has been learnt.
- This is not a bug.
-
- * The corrupt game file, UBASE_07.MAP which caused problems when
- entering the Alien Bases has been replaced.
- This previously caused the error, "CAN'T FIX Y-AXIS" to appear when
- entering these bases.
-
- * There is no PC Speaker support within UFO as specified in the
- Technical Supplement.
-
- * Some customers reported the MS-DOS error,
- "Note enough Environment Space" when attepting to run the program, if
- more than four SET commands had been made from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- This has now been fixed
-
- Happy Alien hunting!
