Dungeon Keeper 2 v1.51 to v1.61

Upgrades version 1.51 of Dungeon Keeper 2 to version 1.61. This version adds Elite Creatures and more! Check out "more info" for a list of changes.

Dungeon Keeper 2 Update 1.51 to 1.61

====================================

THIS UPDATE WILL AFFECT YOUR SAVED GAMES. SAVED GAMES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS WILL START AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT LEVEL.

Elite creatures in Dungeon Keeper 2!

This version adds Elite creatures to Dungeon Keeper 2. Elite creatures are tougher, faster, stronger versions of their ordinary creature counterparts, and add a deadly twist to any Multiplayer, Skirmish or My Pet Dungeon game. However, attracting them in will not be easy, and you will need to discover their particular preferences to draw them in.

As a clue, to attract the Elite Mistress, build a 3x3 Prison surrounded by a Torture Chamber. Good luck attracting in the others!

Other Changes in Version 1.60

We are continually adding new features that DK2 fans request, as well as increasing stability and feature tweaking. In this version we have added the much requested functionality to replay completed levels, as well as play levels that were not played when a choice was given in the Campaign game. We have also tweaked a lot of features that were either in the release version (1.3) or in the later update (1.51), like the ability to continue playing after completing a level.

If there are further suggestions, send an email to [email protected] Not all emails can be answered, but we do read every one.

If you have a card that supports bump mapping, you might want to try the command line switch -enablebumpmapping and -enablebumpluminance. This is an unsupported feature.

Dungeon Keeper 2 Update 1.51

============================

THIS UPDATE WILL AFFECT YOUR SAVED GAMES.

Thank you for taking the time to obtain this update for Dungeon Keeper 2.

We've spent a long time reviewing feedback from players and we hope that this update addresses some of the issues you brought up. We always welcome feedback and we can be contacted via our website http://www.dungeonkeeper.com/

This update does not fix all of the hardware configuration problems that we've seen as addressing them is out of our control. We have found that memory resident programs, overclocking and bad or outdated drivers account for 90% of the problems we've seen. For more info, read the troubleshooting guide in the Support section of http://www.dungeonkeeper.com/

Installing this update will mean that the Uninstall function will not clear out all DK2 files. After using the Uninstall option, you can safely delete the remaining DK2 files manually.

Your saved games ought to be safe, but you might want to back them up to be safe. They're stored in the Data\Save directory. When loading an old save game, you will start on the beginning of that level for compatibility reasons.

If you are having problems when installing this update, ensure that the language of the update match the language of the game. If this is the case and you're still experiencing problems, then it's likely that a file has been modified since installation. An uninstall/reinstall should resolve this problem.

The following is a list of tweaks and fixes. It is not a complete list, but covers most of the areas we've changed since our initial release.
