This update for the game has been modified to:
---------------------------------------------
* Provide EAX® 3.0 and OpenAL support. To enable these options,
you will need to enable 3D Sound in the Sound Setup menu.
NOTE: At the time of release of this update, EAX 3.0 is only
supported on the Creative Labs Inc. SoundBlaster® Audigy(TM)
and Extigy(TM) sound cards.
NOTE: This feature is not supported on Aureal® Vortex and
Vortex 2 sound cards. Enabling this feature with a card with
one of these chipsets may cause the game to lock up.
Multiplayer:
-----------
* Include 4 new Multiplayer Duel levels, which support BOTs.
* The new levels are:
duel_bespin, duel_temple, duel_hangar, and duel_training
Single Player:
-------------
* Provide Force Feedback mouse support.
* Provide limited Force Feedback support for joysticks.
NOTE: Force Feedback joystick effect is not fully supported
in this update.
Corrects various gameplay issues, including:
-------------------------------------------
Multiplayer:
-----------
* Corrects an issue where players were unable to cycle to
detonator packs and trip mines on the �explosives� key
unless they also had Thermal Detonators.
* Corrects an issue that prevented launching a multiplayer
game on AMD(TM) dual processor machines
* Corrected an exploit to prevent players from using illegal
models in the game.
* Corrected an exploit that allowed players to have force
powers outside of what the server rules allow.
* Added a keyboard icon that appears over the player's head
when the player is chatting or configuring force powers.
* Backflip now requires that you double tap the jump button.
* Lightsaber usage in multiplayer has been modified to work
similarly to the way it works in single player levels. This
will enable better saber battles up close with your opponent.
* Lightsabers will do less damage at the very start and very
end of a swing. This should prevent kills from just touching
an opponent with the tip of your lightsaber.
* Other players will not see the glow from a player using force
absorb until they are attacked.
* Force Heal and Force Drain have been adjusted to require more
force energy to use them.
* Corrected an issue that prevent lightsaber locking from
occurring in duels even if it was enabled by the server.
* Correct various Duel mode issues, including:
* Reconfiguring force powers will not place your player at
bottom of queue.
* If one player leaves during a match when dueling with more
than 1 kill limit, the next person in line will not enter
the match with the score of the person who left the match
* Changing skins will no longer produce a loss score on HUD
that includes fraglimit
Single Player:
-------------
* Corrected an issue that would cause the third AT-ST on
Artus_Topside to disappear that prevented Jan from landing.
* Corrected an issue that caused enemies not to be alerted by
the body of a comrade in their field of vision.
* Corrected an issue where enemies did not try to avoid
thermal detonators that were thrown at them
* Corrected an issue that would cause the player to be unable
to attack for about thirty seconds if they were force pushed
out of a saberlock
