The Elder Scrolls: Arena Patch

The following features have been implemented in the 1.06 patch:

• A Pentium slowdown has been included in the patch. To slow down game play for a Pentium, type: arena -delay:# at the DOS prompt, where # is an integer between 1 and 9. 1 causes the least delay, 9 causes the most delay. We recommend 4 as a good speed. If, after starting the game on your Pentium using this feature, you find the speed still is not right, you may adjust the delay using the + and - keys.
• Two lockups, one related to Travelling, and the other related to Wilderness Inns, have been fixed.
• A problem arose where you shot a bow across water, and every other weapon in your inventory became unequippable. It has been corrected.
• Some users found that they could not drop any items. This has been fixed.
• Getting stuck in a wall: if this happens, check the automap - if there is an open tile adjacent to you, then just save your game, exit, and start up again, restoring the game. You will find yourself out of the wall. If there are no open tiles nearby, you will have to restore a previous game. We recommend that you do not Passwall into a stairwell, or you will almost certainly get stuck.
• Can't get an Artifact Quest: This seems to be related to picking the Start New Game option while in the middle of another game. We recommend that you do not choose this option. If you do find that you have reached at least level 5, and you still get no Artifact Quest when asking townsfolk for Rumors - General, then you may enable these quests by hitting: [ALT] F5 in combination. (a message should appear)
  NOTE: This will _not_ enable another quest if you already possess an artifact, and it could potentially ruin an Artifact Quest if you are currently on one. This fix is only intended to be used _once_, if at all. A general helpful tip is to save your game often, and keep one backup save file handy.
• Other bugs in various quests and major dungeons related to memory problems have been fixed, as well as various minor bugs. Many problems have been solved simply using the boot disk option from the install.
