Title: Should I get this SFC3 "Beta Patch"?????
Post by: Magnum357 on March 08, 2003, 04:50:48 pm
Ok, I just found out about this new "Beta Patch" (I've been away for a while) but I heard too that Modem users (like me) can't play SFC3 online.  Man, I'm dying for a patch for SFC3 and I hope this beta patch fixes some issues, but should I even bother downloading it or wait until Taldren/Activision ever releases an "Offical" Patch?  UHG!

That is up to you. Otoh, I know for a fact that Taldren is axiously and most hopefully waiting to hear from players just like you who are using a modem.

If you do find the game unplayable after the patch you can always uninstall the game (this icludes removing the Activision folder/directory) and do a fresh install of the game to get rid of the patch.

Best,

Ive been playing every night since the Beta came out on a 56K modem.  I have noticed no differences in play other than the occasional lag which has occured in every SFC title I have played.  The only noticable diffence that I can detect is that instead of the jumpiness that usually occured, in a very bad lag situation, the jumpiness seems more subtle and not as abrupt.  I have flown with and against other 56k players in mutlitple missions and have found no real change in stability vs the original game.  So give it a try.  The bugs that were fixed make it worth it.
