Warcraft: Orcs & Humans patch 1.0.3 ...

Bug Fixes

  • CD audio track 1 would not play on AppleCD 300 (double-speed drives using a caddy). A workaround was added, enabled by a checkbox in the Preferences dialog. If you have problems with CD audio on some game levels, set this checkbox to fix the problem.
  • Some of the Warcraft cursors were solid black on some Powerbook models; single-color cursors were misinterpreted as B&W. This was fixed by making cursors at least 2-bit deep.

New Features

  • Warcraft now reads IBM saved games, so it can load custom levels created as IBM saved games. For examples of custom levels created as saved games
  • "Hide desktop" (was "hide other apps") now covers all monitors, not just the monitor that Warcraft is running on.
  • File sharing can be turned off while Warcraft is running.
  • The Control Strip (and Desktop Strip etc). can be hidden while Warcraft is running.
  • CD-audio can be turned off (for playing from external CD-ROM drive where there is no audio hookup).
  • Unit targeting code speed-up (faster Mac-to-Mac games). General speed-up on slower Macintoshes (PPC version compiled for 603 for more speed on Performa Macintoshes).
  • When faster scrolling is checked, scrolling happens at a constant rate regardless of machine speed (scrolling will happen in larger chunks on slower machines). When not checked, scrolling is smooth, but slow on slow machines.
