========================================
BUG FIX 3 - Release Canidate 3
========================================
-Updated in legal agreement to indicate this patch is not to be distributed with a paid version of this game.
-Updated website name
-Setup menus has build number
-PS2 trucks will be included with release version. Adding a stock jeep grand cherokee.


========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 9 (Release Canidate 2)
========================================
-Removed last of Direct3D memory checks, this overflows on newer hardware and forces low-resolution textures. (If you have less than 10MB of free VRAM, bless your heart. You need to do this manually from now on))


========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 8 (Release Canidate 1)
========================================
-Added maximum setting to scenery complexity. This enables the SCRUB cheat, and renders terrain with higher detail
-High detail truck mode now works with more than 2 cars present
-Automatic downshifting above 5th gear should work
-AWD low-range now works (LX470, Pajero)
-Verified that saving does work for vehicle detail and scenery complexity. Check to see if game is saving at all.


========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 7
========================================
-Any vehicle without a low-range, should not have it now (Rav 4)
-Shifting fixed?

========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 6
========================================
-AWD should no longer get stuck in 4x4 Low on LX470, Pajero and custom trucks with this setup
-Auto trans "should" shift up to 14th gear
-Added new parts to purchase


========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 5
========================================
-Buying race transfer case with 1:1 low-ratio sets it to 2.72:1
-AWD with 1:1 low-ratio will only have high range option
-Reverse wheelspin fix actually applied
-Added parts 1DropKit, 2DropKit, FrontSpool, RearSpool


========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 4
========================================
-Gear indications should be correct
-Setting truck to full understeer no longer incurs a total traction penality
-Now supports 14 forward gear ratios

Accidently applied on test build 1:
-Turns out vehicle crabbing at low speed was applied earlier
-Wheel spin rendering should also be applied correctly for locked diff type (untested)
-Traction control might function (untested part might cause crash if added)

========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 3
========================================
Issue Resolved:
-Tires would spin wrong way when slipping in reverse
-Full-time AWD vehicles can no longer be shifted out of AWD
-Added art for dash UI for gears up to 13, and AWD indicator
-Corrected dash overlay aspect ratios (TO DO: Optimize right overlay math for Dreamcast, does 180 divisions per frame to only be more readable in code)
-Corrected issue where single player UI only scaled if you changed aspect ratio
-Added provisions for DC widescreen mode


========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 2
========================================
Additions:
-Truck detail now has new option for high detail. (Render all trucks/tires at full detail period)

========================================
BUG FIX 3 - TEST BUILD 1
========================================
Issue Resolved:
-Rebuild of, should match build 56
-Widescreen resolutions
-Master server bypass in metal.ini
-4x4evolution.com is dead
-One exe for both Win9x/Beyond forces use of win 3.1 timer (Ironic the new one depreciated first)


========================================
BUG FIX 2
========================================
Issue Resolved:
-Fix master server connection delays. Prevents issue with multiple failed retries when connecting online

What was the issue:
-4x4evolution.com is not available for purchase

Fix:
-Changed 4x4.exe offset 0x1CD4E1 to use 4x4evolution.net instead
-Changed 4x4ed.exe offset 0x1CD4D4 to use 4x4evolution.net instead
-Patch is applied to both versions

Potential problem:
None, loss of 4x4evolution.com will occur at some point.

========================================
BUG FIX 1
========================================
Issue Resolved:
-Fixes menus delay

What was the issue:
-Function GetPerformanceFrequency() has a bug that can cause delay of several seconds when moving between menus, and using in-game chat

Fix:
-Changed 4x4.exe offset 0x19AE87 from 01 to 00 to force use of lower precision timer
-Changed 4x4ed.exe offset 0x1F3E77 from 01 to 00 to force use of lower precision timer

Potential problem:
This fix may break the game on anything running WinME or lower. Run the Win9x executable for those of you partying like it's Y2K.
