************************************************************************* LANDS OF LORE: THE THRONE OF CHAOS - Patch file to Version 1.22 ************************************************************************* This update fixes several minor bugs including the inability to retrieve Dawn's second Key and problems with some 486 66mhz and Pentium systems. This patch will update any older version of LANDS OF LORE to version 1.22. If you have any U.S. version of LANDS OF LORE which is 1.22 or older then this patch is not necessary since it only upgrades Lands of Lore to version 1.22. Manual patch installation instructions for upgrade to Version 1.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Copy the following files into the directory that you installed Lands of Lore. PATCH.RTP PATCH.EXE 2) Type PATCH at the DOS prompt and press ENTER. 3) Wait until the patch process completes and then play normally. What to do if the patch program does not seem to work. ------------------------------------------------------------- If you have used any cheat programs or hex editors to modify your LANDS OF LORE game, this patch -will not- work. Reinstall from your original game disks, and then install the patch program. This will not effect saved games. If the patch does not work, and you do have an older version of Lands (V. 1.05, 1.11 or 1.11A), then your original files have been altered in some way. Please re-install LANDS of LORE and use the patch again. Reinstalling LANDS will not destroy saved game files. If you are experiencing Audio/Sound card problems. ------------------------------------------------------------- If you are having trouble playing digitized sound with your Soundblaster compatible sound card please try the following. 1) Verify that you have a full megabyte of extended memory. One option to make more Extended memory available is by configuring EMM386 to: "DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM" If you are experiencing Audio/Sound Card problems - Page 2. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Make sure that your AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the "SET BLASTER=....." command to indicate what settings your sound card is configured for. The "SET BLASTER" command is configured as: "SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1" Where: Axxx = address of soundcard (Default = 220) Ix = interrupt of soundcard (Default = 7) Dx = DMA channel (Default = 1) Tx = Type of card (Default = 1 for Soundblaster) ** LANDS of LORE will work with various interrupt, address, and DMA settings. Just be sure they match the ones on your Soundblaster compatible card.
