-= 1.0003 May 8, 2007 =-


Installation

Make sure the game is not running when you patch.

After installing the patch, you will still be able to play multiplayer games across the different SKUs, but it is very important that you install the correct patch for your SKU.

There are different versions of the patch that depend on what SKU you have installed and whether or not you have already patched to 1.0001.


If you have NOT patched to 1.0001 and are still on 1.0000, use the inclusive version below that corresponds to the game SKU that you bought:

USA : stk-US-0-3.exe
World Wide* : stk-WW-0-3.exe
Digital Download : stk-DD-0-3.exe

If you have patched to version 1.0001 already, use the incremental version below that corresponds to the game SKU that you bought:

USA : stk-US-1-3.exe
World Wide* : stk-WW-1-3.exe
Digital Download : stk-DD-1-3.exe

*World Wide refers to all countries besides the USA, Russia and CIS. Polish and Czech users need only to install the stk-WW-0-3.exe patch.




Saved games.

Saved games from 1.0001 version will work with 1.0003 version.



Connectivity.

Connecting to the server will be possible only if the host's version of the game is the same as yours.



The patch addresses the following changes:

* Added some textures of certain objects (for technical purposes).
* Added console command 'sv_listmaps' to view the list of maps queue.
* Added the support for additional mouse buttons (now they can be bound to certain actions).
