Essential Improvements
Patches
- If your original version is 1.0, you will need the 1.1 uninstaller patch to avoid the uninstaller deleting system files. This patch is not included with the 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 updates. This patch is not necessary to install if you have the updated 1.2 retail re-release, as that version includes the 1.1 uninstaller.
- The latest official patch is 1.4. It includes game fixes from the 1.2 and 1.3 updates, but does not include the uninstaller from the 1.1 patch so that will need to be used separately if you have the original 1.0 release.

Modify keymap.txt
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>
- Open
keymap.txt .
- Hotkeys are presented as such:
KEY FUNCTION
For example, the "display help menu" hotkey defaults to the following:
F1 SHOW_HELP
- Change
KEY to desired key for the associated function.
- Save the changes and launch the game.
