What's new in Dungeon Keeper 2 Patch 1.7
Oct 6, 2011
- This version adds the Maiden and the Jack-In-The-Box Trap to Dungeon Keeper 2. The Maiden is an awesome creature that spits webs and slays enemies. The Maiden can be used in Skirmish and Multiplayer levels. The Jack-In-The-Box Trap literally scares the life out of Imps and also damages enemy Dungeon Hearts.
- This version has a fix for users of Environment Mapped Bump Mapping 'EMBM' - please do not confuse this with other types of bump mapping that are not supported. Currently, the Matrox G400 is the only card we are aware of that fully supports 'EMBM'. Please ensure you are using the latest Matrox drivers (Point your browser to 'www.matrox.com') if you wish to try this feature. Use the following commandlines '-enablebumpmapping' and '-enablebumpluminance' to activate bump mapping on your G400. Please note 'EMBM' Bump Mapping is an unsupported feature and, as such, cannot be discussed by our technical support staff.
- USERS OF OTHER CARDS PLEASE NOTE YOU MAY EXPERIENCE CRASHES IF YOU TRY TO RUN 'EMBM' BUMPMAPPING ON YOUR MACHINE. (For further information on commandlines please consult the ReadMe.txt)
- Installing this update on top of an earlier version of Dungeon Keeper 2 will mean that the Uninstall function will not clear out all DK2 files. After using the Uninstall option, you can safely delete the remaining DK2 files manually. If you have installed to the default path these files will be located at "C:\Program Files\Bullfrog\Dungeon Keeper 2\"
