Crashday – Patch 1.1 – ReadMe
FOR ENGLISH/GERMAN ATARI VERSIONS
=================================================
Crashday Patch 1.1 is the first of at least two patches to fix compatiblity, functionality and gameplay issues of the Crashday retail version 1.0 of Atari.
This first patch mainly focuses on serious hardware and compatiblity problems that prevented people from playing at all. Future patches will focus more on gameplay-related issues and actual game improvements or feature additions.

NOTE:
To play online, players can only join games hosted on the same version ("1.1" after installation of patch). The multiplayer games browser displays the current version in a seperate column.
