Essential improvements

Windows 95 patch

This patch is only available for the GOG.com version

This official patch adds the Windows 95 version of the game, alongside the DOS version.

The Windows 95 version allows the game to run at a higher native resolution and with higher frame rates. However, it is not as stable as the DOS version (some AMD/ATI cards have issues running it) and has poor multiplayer support.

It can be found on the GOG.com Carmageddon series forums.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/282010/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (282010) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
