Re: BattleZone patch - awesome!

Just installed it and am now playing BZ in 1024x768 SLI mode WITH the big textures and the 3Dfx lighting additions. Wow!

First off, you get the bigger screen - very helpful
Next, you get dust off the ground and flare effects from unit engines - nice.
Next, you get things in the sky! Like stars and the Earth (from the Moon) and clouds (on Mars).
Next, you get _amazing_ explosions! When things go boom now, they rock - they rock you and they look great.
Next, you get... Well, just download the patch and find out for yourself.

BTW, there are TWO file you need to download (to get the 3Dfx textures) and TWO settings you need to change in the RENDER.CFG file (not one like the readme file says).
