This all-inclusive v1.06 Patch includes a number of user requested changes, bug fixes and editor enhancements as well as better overall game performance by means of a new "Video Acceleration" option accessible via the games Settings panel. Most importantly it also addresses a Windows Vista config file update issue which could occur under certain circumstances. We have also added a great deal of material to the game manual itself since many players have asked for more details on all the new changes in the expansion. PATCH NOTES: This patch is all-inclusive, includes all the earlier patch content and will patch any previous Battlefront.com English language version of Strategic Command Weapons and Warfare Expansion from the initial v1.0 to v1.05. This patch will not work with any non-English version of Strategic Command 2 Weapons and Warfare Expansion at this time. Separate patches for the other language versions will be released in the future. PREVIOUS SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY NOTE Save games created with earlier versions of the game are NOT compatible with v1.06. Please finish your in-progress games before applying this patch. NEW VIDEO ACCELERATION SETTING If you play the game and notice unplayably slow map scroll speeds and unit selection time, then please activate the "Video Acceleration" option from inside the Settings panel. That option will use a different method to handle graphics and should put your game performance back to what it should be. If you have never noticed any extreme game slowness, you can leave this option set to OFF.
