4X CD-ROM

Unreal Patch
This is from Westlake,
The version 217 patch that has been released on the PC evidently causes troubles with Unreal Mac in network games. If you have been experiencing problems with major servers like WON and Epic, this is probably why. We have not yet received the 217 source code from Epic, so we can't start on the Mac patch yet. We do hope to get at least a beta patch out as soon as we get a chance to see the PC code, so keep checking back for news posted here.

Other known bugs we're looking into:
- crashes on Noork's Elbow (seems to help to turn off digital music)
- crashes when beheading creatures, especially in sniper mode.
- not being able to bind the O key.
- Appletalk network game pauses.
- crashes sometimes when returning from Advanced Options.
- problems with cable modems losing their connections.
