Monopoly Star Wars Patch

Fix / Update List
The version number box displayed at game end no longer occurs. The version number is now displayed on first loading screen.

• Memory allocation has been altered so the game will be more stable on machines with very low virtual memory.
• If playing in the Microsoft Zone the intro Hasbro/Artech sequences as well as the sizzler video are not displayed. Also the network button on the player select screen is grayed out as it is not necessary for a zone game.
• New short game rules are now in effect using the "Short Game Rules" button on the rules screen.
• The voice chat compression problem fixed. Audio is now compressed down before sending the message, thus minimizing message transfer time. Note that Audio voice chat is only functional with a Sound Blaster card, a limitation of DirectSound. For users of other audio cards, use control panel DirectX to set sound capture to a real device.
• Player spectators are no longer allowed and have been disabled.
• The user is not allowed to switch languages in this patch. If you wish to switch languages after using this patch, you may be required to reinstall from the cd-rom in the language you desire.
• Players are now allowed to click through the opening Hasbro animation to get quickly to the player select screen without experiencing undesirable audio results.
• Dagobah's Swamp property does not disappear from a player property shuttle.
• Player tokens do not disappear from the top down board view during a turn
• Rent will always be paid when the four 'spacecraft' are owned by one player
• The short game rule is to deal 3 cards, however we do not have not translated the text for "deal 3 cards." Thus, players will see "deal 2 cards" while 3 cards are dealt.
• Video problems should be resolved, as long as the video adapter is: (1) Direct X5 compatible; (2) registered video drivers are installed and functional; (3) the video adapter is capable of 16-bit color and 800x600 resolution.
• If you let the game sit and are playing an AI game, the AI may begin proposing trades. This is their way of saying "let's play!"
