Serious Sam Patch v1.02 (US)

Serious Sam Patch v1.02 (US)

This patch will upgrade US versions of Serious Sam to v1.02. Among the changes in this patch are a improvements to networking solving many problems related to disconnects, crashes and slowdowns during network games. This patch will also work with Polish and Russian versions of Serious Sam.

This patches directly from version 1.00 to 1.02. To install, just click on the exe and it will find where and how to patch. You don't need to have 1.00c patch installed, but it doesn't hurt if you do. Both combinations should work ok.

The USA version is for North America, but also works for Poland and Russia. The Euro version works for all the other territories.

The new version is not network-compatible with the older versions, so everybody needs to upgrade, both servers and clients.

If you don't have the original version installed properly, the patch will not work. But you can still use WinZip or similar tool to extract the files from this self-extracting exe, and manually copy them over.

The most important changes are:

- automatic switching to proper mod when joining a network game

- lot of network server and client fixes regarding disconnections, crashes and slowdowns.

- added remote server administration.

- support for 2 mice (for split-screen playing)

- added coop respawn-in place option, so that players can choose different paths while exploring the levels

- a lot of changes and improvements for the tools

Plus there are a lot of small fixes and additions.
