#169
========================================================================
Patch v3.2.77
========================================================================
Known Issues
- Players joining a deathmatch or team deathmatch late may experience a crash/freeze and we are attempting to rectify this as soon as possible. This problem does not occur on the cooperative mode.
- Users of GeForce 6600 and 6200 will notice overbright glow shaders when using driver version 81.85. User should either use a different driver or follow these steps to rectify the situation
1. Open the "global.settings" file found in the My Documents\Empire Interactive\SST\Settings folder using a text editor
2. Locate the "Glow" field (located under the "Other" field)
3. Change the value from '1' to '0' (no glow) or '2' (partial glow)
New Feature
- A time out feature has been added to the front end so that the player can automatically revert back from a mode unsupported by their graphics card
Gameplay Changes
- Level attack times have been increased so that players are not as heavily penalised
- The armour of the larger bugs have been weakened to make them more susceptible to rockets and missiles.
