These files will update your existing Absolute Zero version 1.0 or 1.0.1 to version 1.0.3. If you don't want to take the time and expense to download a 3MB file, you can wait for your update CD to come in the mail. If you haven't sent in your registration card, please do so immediately so we can send you your new CD. If you lost your card or can't remember if you registered, send email to DomarkUSA.
There have been many changes in version 1.0.3. So many that we've lost track of some of them. Most of the missions have been re-balanced to make them easier to win, including Attack on Aegis 2. We've fixed a few bugs, including one that wouldn't let you play the last four missions (Chapter 13) even if you had completed all previous missions. We've improved the targeting system to make it more intelligent about which object it chooses when you're trying to acquire a target, and we've made the targeting boxes a little more useful in various ways. And we've added 'chunky' explosions: objects will now explode into pieces instead of just disappearing in a fireball.
Version 1.0.2 was released only on the PC. There were some additional changes needed after the PC version was released before the Mac version 1.0.2 could be released, so we decided to call it 1.0.3 instead.
Version 1.0.1 fixed a few minor bugs, and updated the first mission (What’s Out There?) to make it a lot easier to plant the mole pods successfully.
We have also included new joystick settings in the Joystick Settings folder for the Flightstick, Gravis Mousestick, and Thrustmaster joysticks. These settings have not changed since version 1.0.1.
