Strategic Command: WWII Pacific Theater GAME PATCH v.1.03 - download

version: v.1.03

PREVIOUS SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY NOTE

Save games created with earlier versions of the game are NOT compatible with v1.03. Please finish your in-progress games before applying this patch.

NEW VIDEO ACCELERATION SETTING

If you play the game and notice unplayably slow map scroll speeds and unit selection time, then please activate the "Video Acceleration" option from inside the Settings panel. That option will use a different method to handle graphics and should put your game performance back to regular levels. If you have never noticed any extreme game slowness, you can leave this option set to OFF.
