ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS ACHIEVED BY INSTALLING THE PATCH

Master-server mode

ADDITIONAL ADVICE ON OPTIMISING THE GAME SPEED
=================================================

To avoid problems (first of all low game speed), we do not recommend switching Windows swap-file to custom settings. In certain cases limiting swap-file size can cause a random exit to Windows.

In any case you should have at least 500 MB of free hard disk space for the swap-file (after extended gameplay, it can become quite large).
