2. Installation of the update:
===============================
The update includes 3 new updated game files and this readme. The updated game files are: ef2.exe, cgamex86.dll, and gamex86.dll. During the update the installer assumes that you have installed the game to the default game directory of c:\program files\activision\ef2\. If you have changed your installation directory you will need to change the output directory accordingly or manually move the files later to the installed directory prior to using the update.
Any future OFFICIAL update will be released on the following sites www.activision.com, www.st-ef2.com, and gaming.startrek.com. We will also utilize the games auto-patch capability for those with an active internet connection.
MULTIPLAYER & INTERNET ISSUES
1. Hosting with the update:
=============================
With the update you will now be able to host Dedicated games without needing to keep the game CD in the CD-ROM drive. This fix is being released as a Beta and doesn't incorporate any additional updates other then what is listed above.
A.) We do intend to incorporate this fix into a future OFFICIAL 1.1 update of Elite Force II.
B.) This fix does not incorporate support for Linux servers. That is being worked on now for a future release.
