Starship Troopers v5.24

Огромный патч для Starship Troopers, вносящий следующие изменения в этот фантастический боевик:
Patch compatibility

This patch supersedes all the previous patches and can be installed over any version whether it has been previously patched or not.


New Features

- Four new death matchteam death match maps have been added
- Bait
- Duel
- Hill
- Offensive

- Three new cooperative maps have been added
- Bait
- Psiops
- Stronghold

- Ability to search all types of multiplayer games simultaneously

- Command Line parameter '-nouimovie' available to disable the movie in the user interface.

- Game setting overrides now applied on patching
- certain settings are not compatible with some hardware. The game will now detect these when run and set these settings to known working values. Users can subsequently change these settings should they so desire, as the new settings value 'SettingsSyncTag' logs whether the values have been updated.

- New shader option added
- A new shader pipeline has been added on this patch. What was previously called 'High' shader quality is now called 'Highest'. 'High' shader quality now refers to the new shader pipeline. The new pipeline offers similary visual quality to the 'Highest' setting, but has better performance and is available across a broader range of graphics cards.

- Overbright glow on nVidia 6600GT or 6200TC with 8x.xx drivers
- A temporary workaround has been provided to resolve the overbright glow until nVidia release updated drivers. The workaround is controlled by the "EnableNVIDIAGlowFix" setting in the Global.settings file and will be set to '1' for the cards listed. Once new drivers are available, this should be deactivated manually by changing the setting to '0' as it has a minor effect on performance. To deactivate the workaround follow the steps below:

1. Open the "global.settings" file found in the My DocumentsEmpire InteractiveSSTSettings folder using a text editor
2. Locate the "EnableNVIDIAGlowFix" field (located under the "Other" field)
3. Change the value from '1' to '0'
