Fixes
  • Car driving sequences
  • Some animations


New Installer

Copy the files from your floppy disks into a temporary folder on your hard drive and run this installer from that folder.


Debug Modes

Rename/remove the file "version" in your PQ3 directory, or set the attribute to "read-only".

This will give you some options at the beginning to configure which flags should be set and where/when you will start the game (most don't work.)


References

  2. ↑ Type 0x85 resources are 'memory' resources, which are only used internally.
