Patch v3.2.77
========================================================================
Known Issues
- Players joining a deathmatch or team deathmatch late may experience a
crash/freeze and we are attempting to rectify this as soon as possible. This
problem does not occur on the cooperative mode.
- Users of GeForce 6600 and 6200 will notice overbright glow shaders when using
driver version 81.85. User should either use a different driver or follow these
steps to rectify the situation
1. Open the "global.settings" file found in the My Documents\Empire
Interactive\SST\Settings folder using a text editor
2. Locate the "Glow" field (located under the "Other" field)
3. Change the value from '1' to '0' (no glow) or '2' (partial glow)
New Feature
