New Patch

[Captain Kwok]

Greetings.

MM has said there is a patch in the works for Star Fury. Unknown to most of us, the retail version of Star Fury as released by Strategy First was version 1.17 - not 1.15, which was the most recent version for most of us and what the existing patches updated to.

I'm not sure if this new patch coming out will just update the game from 1.15 to 1.17 or if it will be a new version greater than 1.17...

From the history file:

Version 1.17:
1. Fixed - Improved high resolution timer.
2. Fixed - Potential Access Violation when shutting the game down.
3. Fixed - Better attuned the Direct Sound usage to the hardware capabilities.

Version 1.16:
1. Fixed - The mouse pointer no longer dissappears at screen edge.
2. Fixed - Font sizes standardized on different displays.
3. Fixed - Improved sound buffer allocation and usage. This should fix crashing problems for users with limited sound cards.
4. Fixed - The sound for dropping and item into space and picking up an item from space was not in 3D.
5. Fixed - Problem on some video cards where background space would appear warped.
6. Fixed - Rare Range Check Error with a ship's engine glow brightness.
7. Fixed - Shield hits were living longer than they should.
8. Fixed - Sometimes a crash would occur from commodity prices of zero.
