Fix List
========
- Chrono IFV no longer loses its target when selecting a target
further than his firing range. Now it moves within attack
range and fires without losing focus at any moment.
- Modified official maps are not transferred over Internet games.
- If a player disconnects 3 times in one game for durations more
than 25 seconds each, the game will finish and be awarded to
the non-disconnector at the 3rd time.
- If walls or other buildings block the Soviet Barracks exit, no
unit is built even if the user has a Cloning Vat. The cost is
refunded to the player.
- No other infantry units other than those with explosives can
blow up buildings when joining to a Tanya command waypoint.
FAQ's
=====
Q. Do Joysticks or Gamepads work with Westwood games?
A. Westwood Studios does not support the use of any Joysticks or
Gamepads for their games. Westwood Studios games are purely
keyboard-and-mouse games.
Sorry for the inconvenience. We may choose to provide support
in the future.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
***********************
Video Problems
--------------
The vast majority of problems that you are likely to encounter
are probably related to drivers that allow the game to make
optimum use of your systems resources. In particular, video
games are most influenced by Microsoft s DirectX drivers, which
are responsible for various aspects of your system including:
video, sound, controller input, 3D graphic functions,
CD/DVD-ROM access and other functions. If you do experience
problems, always ensure that you are using the latest drivers
for these devices, and that your DirectX installation shows
these devices as being certified (with DXDIAG).
CD/DVD-ROM Problems
-------------------
Make sure that the CD/DVD-ROM disc is in the correct drive,
with the label facing upwards. The CD/DVD-ROM disc must be
in the drive to install or run the game. If you have two
CD/DVD-ROM drives, the CD/DVD must be placed in the drive
whose drive letter comes alphabetically first for the game to
work.
Ensure that the CD/DVD-ROM disc is free from any markings or
scratches which may interfere with normal operation. If the
disc requires cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a dry,
non-abrasive cloth.
Sound Problems
--------------
Make sure that your speakers or headphones are plugged into the
correct socket, and that the volume control is at an appropriate
level. If you are using powered speakers, ensure that the power
is on.
If you continue to experience problems, ensure that the Volume
Control taskbar icon (depicted by a small yellow speaker)
is present.
Double-clicking this icon will open the Volume Control window.
Make sure that the Wave and Master Volume controls are set at an
appropriate level and that the Mute feature is not enabled.
