   The latest version of MechWarrior 2 Windows95 is version 1.1. The
   patch updates your version 1.0 to version 1.1 by fixing the following
   reported problems:
     * DirectX - We optimized our game to work with DirectX 2.0, which is
       Microsoft's current released version at this time of development.
       As Microsoft releases newer versions of DirectX in the future, we
       recommend that you update to the most current version. This patch
       will not install DirectX for you.
     * Rudder pedals - Players using various rudder pedal input devices
       while configured with "Torso Twist" who were unable to move their
       'Mech through its normal range of motion should now be able to do
       so.
     * Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro - Players using the Microsoft
       SideWinder 3D Pro should no longer encounter occasional erratic
       control.
     * Joystick Throttle Problems - Players using Joysticks whose
       throttles work as a third axis (eg. Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro/CH
       Flightstick Pro) should no longer experience joystick throttle
       problems.
     * Sound Card conflict - When entering Cadet Training players with an
       IBM Mwave sound device should no longer encounter a fatal error
       "WAIL32.DLL".
     * Sinking Mech - The occasional "underground 'Mech" at the beginning
       of a Trial of Position in either the Jade or Wolf missions should
       no longer occur.
     * NetMech, Team Leader Killed - In the Team Missions, any team
       member can now win a mission for the team. Previously, if the team
       leader died, "Mission Successful" was impossible.
     * "M" torso twist - While "Torso Twisting" your 'Mech, the "M" key
       should now center the legs to the facing direction of the torso
       without the previous jerky disorienting movement.
     * Star formation in trials - Adjusting your star formations in the
       Trials of Grievance now works.
