===Windows 95 patch===
 +
{{ii}} 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 [http://www.gog.com/forum/carmageddon_series/experimental_windows_95_patch GOG.com Carmageddon series forums].

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.
