Fixes:
- Non-responsive Endodroid Runner/Elmo Pug
- Using datacard in ComPost
Notes:
- The error message "Could not open robot resource 410" which appears on
some people's systems at Stellar's Funeral is NOT a timer bug; it means
that the game can't find the 410.RBT file. Make sure that the "robot="
line in the RESOURCE.CFG (DOS version)/RESOURCE.WIN (Windows) file
points to the directory where the 410.RBT file resides (for example,
E:\ROBOTS).
- Error messages containing the words "NTVDM.EXE and
"WaveOutUnprepareHeader" that may appear at various points in the
Windows version are NOT timer bugs. Editing the RESOURCE.WIN file,
changing the value following "dacsize=" from 16384 to 8192 or to some
other non-default value, may help. Otherwise, turn off "speech" (in
the game's control panel) before entering the room where the problem
occurs; you can turn it back on later.
- If the screen "scrolls over" into black, turn off "scrolling" in the
game's control panel.
- If you don't find the issues listed under "Fixes:" fixed after
installing the patch:
a) Make sure you're not restoring a game saved on the streets of
Polysorbate LX or in the sickbay. If so, *before installing the
patch*, leave the street by entering a shop / leave the sickbay via
the transporter, save your game, *then install the patch*. Generally,
patches invalidate those saved games that were saved inside areas
for which the script code is changed by the patch.
b) Note to which directory you have extracted the .zip archive containing
the patch.
c) Open the file "RESOURCE.CFG" (if you are using the DOS version of the
game) or "RESOURCE.WIN" (if you are using the Windows version of the
game).
d) Locate the line starting with "patchDir=".
e) Add the directory into which you have extracted the patch to this line,
followed by a semicolon.
For example, if you have extracted the patch into C:\SIERRA\SQ6, and
the line originally read
patchDir=D:
you should change it to
patchDir=C:\SIERRA\SQ6;D:
These steps should NOT be necessary though if you have installed the
game and patch properly.
