Click the Unzip button.

Modifications for Build 108
=============================
- subcommand.exe (version 0.1.0.8)
Sub Command should display Version 108 on splash screen
- SonarBB.dll (version 0.1.0.3)
- Sound: Improved support for non-3D hardware accelerated sound cards
- Sound: Fixed extra loud "ping"
- Broadband: Fixed clicking sound cheat
- Broadband: Background noise versus contact strength corrected

Modifications for Build 107
=============================
- subcommand.exe (version 0.1.0.7)
Sub Command should display Version 107 on splash screen
- AppTextE.DLL
- NavalSimEngine.dll (version 0.1.0.4)
- TMA.dll (version 0.1.0.2)
- SonarBB.dll (version 0.1.0.2)
- FCTD.dll (version 0.1.0.2)
- FCLP.dll (ssn21 only) (version 0.1.0.2)


- Broadband: Fixed crash if a tracker was assigned to the Hull array in Narrowband and then the user switched to Broadband on subs without Hull array (ssn21, 688i).
- Sound: Cleaned up various sound card related issues
- Sound: Fixed the platform sound distortion that occurred when panning around a hooked platform in the 3D window.
- Sound: The Options/Sound screen now displays an error message if Sub Command detects the absence of hardware 3D sound support in the sound card.
One of two messages may display if there is a problem with the hardware 3D sound support
1) "Attempt to detect 3D Hardware Sound Buffers failed."
2) "Attempt to support 3D Sound in hardware failed."
If either message appears, the problem may be the sound card does not have support for hardware-only 3D sound.
If the sound card does have hardware 3D sound support, then verify that the sound card drivers are up to date.
Sub Command will default to software-only 3D sound in either case and overall game performance may degrade as a result.
- Fire Control: Fixed UUV not correctly using OS Depth preset
- Fire Control: Fixed Narrow/Wide preset issue
- TMA: Tracking multiple TMA contacts can be accomplished by pressing the "Enter Solution" button before selecting another track from the contact list box. If you leave the TMA screen, current tracking data for the displayed contact will be available when the TMA screen is revisited.
- TMA: Fixed crash that involved this screen and usually TMA autocrew being
ON.
- Mission Editor: Wrong entities were being given the Sonobouy tactic (Bear J vs. Bear F bug)
- Game: Fixed crash that pertains to missions containing aircraft with set launch times.
- Game: Towed array now deploys correctly at start of mission based on scenario file
- Game: Show Linked 3D land objects melting into landscape bug fixed
- Game: Added a keyboard shortcut to center the Rudder. The default key is: <'> (single quote character). It can be reassigned in the Options screen.
- Database: increased max depth of 65 cm torpedo to 1000 ft
- AI: Firing missiles now provokes better response from AI units
- AI: Torpedo evasion for AI platforms is improved
- AI: Contact mines/Influence mines now behave correctly
- Sonar: background noise for masts corrected
- Replay: Added the ability to save a replay to a different filename
To activate this feature open the "subcommand.ini" file and change the line:
.SaveReplay No
to
.SaveReplay Yes
In order to view the saved replay files, the user must download the "ReplayViewer.exe" from the Sonalysts website.


Special Thanks
===============
Sonalysts and the entire Sub Command team would like to thank the Sea Wolves and other fans of Sub Command who participated in the testing of this patch. The feedback we received, via the forums and direct emails, concerning Sub Command has been invaluable in helping us create a better product for everyone.

NOTE: This fix has been tested with the following beta driver:
ATI Product version: 7.55-010523b-546E-ATI
ATI Driver: 4.13.7115
The driver update file is 98me-755-010523b.exe
**Sonalysts and Electronic Arts make no guarantee as to the
stability of Sub Command or any other product while using beta
drivers; use at your own risk.

- Using passworded missions in Multiplayer is fixed
- Allow players to designate a different network adapter than the default To support this capability a new key was added to the INI file called ".AdapterName".
The default value in the INI after you run the updated Sub Command will be:
.AdapterName "default"
A file is also created called "adapters.txt", which lists all the network adapters made available to Sub Command for the chosen protocol.
The "adapter.txt" file should be used to help determine the correct value to replace "default" in the INI file.
When the INI key contains the value "default", Sub Command will pick the first adapter in the list generated by DirectX. To use a different network adapter, close the game, open "adapters.txt" in the root installation directory (typically c:\\Program Files\\Electronic Arts\\Sub Command), copy the name of the desired adapter into the INI file and then re-run Sub Command. The new adapter will be used. This adapter will always be used as long as the name matches and the INI file is not removed.
Sub Command will perform partial matches on the adapter name for users who have an ISP that uses dynamic addressing. In the adapters.txt file, the connection to the ISP might be "PPP Adapter - 284.123.21.1" one time and the next it may be "PPP Adapter - 284.123.22.68". If this is the case, then change the INI key to have only part of the adaptername.
For instance:
.AdapterName "PPP Adapter"
It should be noted that if you have two adapters that have similar product names such that the adapters.txt file contains the lines:
XYZcard modem - 284.3.1.1
XYZcard NIC - 174.2.1.9
if the INI key has the value
.AdapterName "XYZcard"
then the last adapter in the list will be used. It is suggested that enough of the adaptername should be used to make it unique from other adapters in your system.
Such as:
.AdapterName "XYZcard modem"

- Enhanced command line support
-host.................. Host a Multiplayer game in TCP using adapter specified in INI
-join {IP address}..... Join a game hosted at the supplied address
-connect {IP address}.. same as -join
-name {playername} .... use supplied playername during game
for names with spaces use quotes
(ex: -name "Player Name")
-n {playername}........ same as -name
