I wasted all my rockets on a bloody big monster the other night
(1.1)... I crept closer and closer so I could throw a grenade,
expecting any time he would rip my arms off, only to find I could
actually walk right up to him safely. He was dead, but standing...
Grrrr! I could have done with those rockets 2 minutes later!

Well... I'm already regretting installing it. :-((( Appears to work to some
degree if I start again from the start and then will lockup. I cannot load any
of my current levels... it locks or drops me back to the desktop. Not good,
especially as I stupidly did'nt copy the game directory, and whats worse is the
1.1 wont now re-install... thowing up an error in the process of installation.
:-(((((((((((( Not a happy bunny!

So word to the wise. Backup your 1.1 installation before installing this
patch!

I guess setting an XP restore point would do it? Any problems just roll
back to pre-install? Ta, Shaun

Easiest way is just to copy the game directory elsewhere until your've tested
the 1.2 patch. Assuming you have a bit of hard0drive space of course.

Setting a restore point in XP may not necessarily do the trick.

Sometimes patches tend to make some registry changes,
so just copying old files back won't necessarily work and
will screw up things even more. But I guess it's quite rare.

So far so good. Played through two levels from existing save games and
everythings fine - a little smoother but no great difference. Hoping
they've fixed the sound problem - OK so far. Shaun
