I. FIXES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Skipping/Garbled Speech: Some users have reported the in-flight
speech would skip or sound garbled. This has been corrected.
2. Movie Player: On some machines the movie player could occassionally
lock up, skip, or crash to the desktop. The movie player has been improved
to reduce the occurence of these issues.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
II. INSTALLING THE PATCH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If the hardware on your machine is not DirectX cerified you
may experience a decrease in performance after installing the patch.
See the next section, DirectX and DXSETUP, for information on how to
check whether or not your hardware is certified.
Copy The file LBG104e.EXE into the Longbow Gold directory (default is
C:\JANES\LBGOLD). Goto the MS-DOS prompt and change into your
Longbow Gold directory. Type LBG104E and press [enter]. The patch will
extract itself. Then type PATCH and press [enter]. It will update
the appropriate files.
You should receive a message indicating success. After the patch
has been correctly installed, press ALT-V when you are within the game.
If it reads AH-64D Longbow Gold v1.04F, the patch is correctly installed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
III. DIRECTX AND DXSETUP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What Is DirectX?
Microsoft DirectX is a programming language extension that is available
with the Microsoft Game Software Development Kit (SDK). DirectX
components include DirectDraw, DirectInput, DirectPlay, and DirectSound.
DirectX provides tight integration between applications, hardware and
graphics accelerators for maximum graphics performance and easy customer
installation. DirectX drivers do this by providing software developers
with a native Windows-based programming alternative to the older
MS-DOS-based display and sound specification.
DXSETUP:
To check if your hardware is DirectX cerified, do the following.
1. Insert Longbow Gold CD #1 (exit the Origin Gateway)
2. Double-click My Computer.
3. Right-click on the CD-ROM disc icon.
4. Click Explore.
5. Double-click the DirectX folder.
6. Double-click DXSETUP.EXE.
NOTE: The audio system has been adjsuted to take better advantage of
DirectX's DirectSound. If your Audio drivers are listed with
No Hardware Support, you may find your performance will decrease if
you install the patch.
If you find that your performance does decrease after installing the
patch, copy out the ROSTER.DAT file (your savegames) from the Longbow Gold
directory. Then uninstall and reinstall the game. Finally, copy the
ROSTER.DAT file back into the Longbow Gold directory.
