  • Platoon v1.14 Patch Corrections: Resolution bug: under win98 with a gf3 FX If you choose a higher resolution than 1024 x 768, the mouse pointer appears in double. The consequence is that neither campaign nor scenario can be started. This problem doesn't concern lower resolution. With the mouse pointer being duplicated, you can no longer use the "Start" nor the "Back" button. Only the tutorial can be played normally - Corrected Multiplayer desync: after 3 games desynchronisation occured. Corrected Mount: sometimes when you were trying to mount into an apc, both the apc and the mounted unit were getting stuck and unsuable (testable on mission 8). Corrected Platoon Easy Mod: Monte Cristo and Digital Reality are pleased to bring you a mod for Platoon. This mod features a number of changes in the gameplay that allow you to experience the game in a totally new way, and respond to a number of requests that the community has expressed. This modification makes the game easier in two ways: It allows you to save the game within missions, and allows the soldiers to respond to enemy fire by firing and taking cover without requiring you to give an explicit order Platoon Master Update: As well as including all previous updates, this patch will fix any problems caused from installing the Easy Mod. The main issue fixed is not being able to pass from one mission to another (especially level 8) after having saved the game at certain points. The 'International' patch applies to the following editions of the game: Austria Belgium Botswana Brunei Canada (French version) Denmark France Finland Germany Greece Hong-Kong Iceland Indonesia Ireland Israel Malaysia Namibia Norway Philippines Singapour South Africa Sweden Switzerland The Netherlands UK The 'US' patch applies to the following editions of the game: Argentina Australia Canada (english version) Chili Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Italy Lettonia Lithuania Mexico New Zealand Panama Poland Portugal Russia Spain Taiwan (Republic of China) Thailand USA Venezuela
