Temporary solution is offered (see program "Forced.exe")
- the partner can see the enemy through the wall within a short range and tries
to shoot him
- some textures on the levels are mirrored (too great volume for the patch)

======================
Program "Forced.exe"
======================

This program allows to forcedly set the video mode in which the game will run,
to switch off the cut-scenes and turn on the quick image renewal in the HUD
(mini-camera).

COMMENTS:

1) Compulsory video mode setting is required after configuring operation in
config.exe program

2) If the video mode you selected is not supported, an error will occur while
launching the game

3) Disabling "Low FPS HUD" option leads to lowering the general game FPS under
the activated mini-camera. This one is recommended for GeForce and Radeon
series video cards.

===========================================
Dedicated server creation under Windows NT
===========================================

CO_patch21.exe contains a separate EXE for dedicated server creation. This
application works under Windows NT too. To create a server you need to run
Dedicated.EXE, select game mode (cooperative,CTF etc) and press "Start". After
that, a window allowing you to control the server pops up.

COMMENTS:

1) A dedicated server does not require the compact disk. To launch a dedicated
server you can make it with minimal game installation.

2) A dedicated server contains protection from freezing. Under server freezing
or error occurring it will be automatically reloaded in 20 seconds.

3) Server parameters are set in server.ini file. It must be located in the root
directory of the game. Adjustment documentation and sample file can be found in
DOC\serverini.txt and DOC\SAMPLE\server.ini folders.

4) Server and client can not be run simultaneously on one computer.

5) To launch a server skipping the game type selection menu you need to run the
application adding "-FAST" parameter (in capital letters). In this case the
last selected game type will be used.
