• shock2.exe is now required to be present in installation dir (fool proof)
• Includes updated ddfix 1.5.7 by Jermi, now including weak-ling's widescreen mod
• Some compatibility changes in ddfix.ini: FrameRateLimit=60; MenuUpdateDelay=25; OverlayColourKey=0xffffff;
• Game screen resolution is automatically taken from desktop screen size
• Removed Tos' DirectPlay8 multiplayer wrapper (too many reported problems), shock.exe un-patched accordingly
• Now cleans up all SafeDisk files: shock2.icd, clcd16.dll, clcd32.dll, clokspl.exe, dplayerx.dll, secdrv.sys

Due to a mistake of mine the gamescreen would show up solid white on some systems when patched with SS2Tool version 3.2. This has been fixed with this release 3.3.

- updated to ddfix 1.5.9 (resolves overlay color key problem)
- removed ddfixGUI (obsolete)

The white/pink screen problems or slow framerates should be resolved with the inclusion of DDFix 1.5.9 by Jermi.

- updated to DDFix 1.5.11 by Jermi, see link or the included [ddfix README.html] for details

Common problems
If you only see a solid white or black screen (but can hear the sounds) in the game...
- Update you video card's driver
- In ddfix.ini under "[Main]" add the line "UseSysMemOverlay=2" (without quotes)
- If you have an NVidia card, go to your NVidia control panel, find the "Number of frames to render ahead" option and set it to 0
