How to use the vig11.exe file:

	NOTE:  This patch may only be installed once, if you try to run vig11.exe 
more then once you will get an error.  If you play Vigilance over HEAT.NET you 
will be automatically updated, but it's faster using the enclosed vig11.exe to 
update Vigilance. 

	Vig11.exe is a self extracting patch file.  The easiest way to use this 
file is to put vig11.exe in the same directory as vigilance.exe, run vig11.exe 
and click OK.  Everything else will be done automatically.  The next time you 
run Vigilance the version number on the bottom left side of the main menu will 
be r1.1.  When you installed the retail CD of Vigilance the default file path 
for vigilance.exe was C:\program files\segasoft\vigilance.


New from version r1.0 (the retail CD) to version r1.1 (this patch):


*  Improved performance
	- Vigilance now requires less memory to run optimally.
	- Levels now load much faster.
	- Memory leak fixed.
*  Load/Save game in mission
	- You can now save and load your game within a mission a mission.
	- Use the ESC menu to access load/save.
*  Multiplayer LAN and HEAT improvements
	- HEAT- When entering or creating a game on HEAT you will be given the 
	option to pick which character you would like to play.  Also, when you 
	die, pressing the RELOAD key (default R) when dead will allow you to 
	change characters without leaving the game.  PING times are also displayed 
	in the stat screen(Z).
	- LAN- When you die, pressing the RELOAD key (default R) when dead will 
	allow you to change characters without leaving the game.  PING times are 
	also displayed in the stat screen(Z).
*  Jumping is improved
	- New jumping control that allows for longer/shorter jumps depending on 
	how long the JUMP key is pressed.
*  3DFX enhancements
	- When a 3DFX card is selected and used the entire game will run through 
	the card.  No more switching from software to hardware.
	- Voodoo Rush and Banshee support.
	- The game will no longer look for Glide.  Fixes locking up if glide was 
	installed without a 3DFX card.
*  Menu structure rearranged
	- A save game button is now available before the main menu button! 
*  CD jukebox player
	- A CD player is now available from the ESC menu. 
*  Lots of little bugs fixed


Known Issues:

1.  If Vigilance is not closed down properly by exiting the game, the next time 
you go to run Vigilance you might get an error saying that it was not shut down 
properly.  To fix this error, run the game, then exit properly.  The next time 
you run Vigilance it will perform normally. 

2.  Sometimes when loading a game from a saved game, the player character will 
not be visible.  This can be avoided by loading from the main menu after a clean 
boot, or have patience and the game will correct itself. 

3.  If you are using a PS/2 mouse (not a serial mouse) and the mouse control 
feels sluggish try using a non rated mouse driver found at (USE AT YOUR OWN 
RISK):
