1. Installation
Copy the patch file (ANNO1602PATCH1.EXE) into your hard disk's ANNO 1602 folder and start it with a double-click. To change settings before playing, run the "CONFIG.EXE" file.

2. Cursor
If your cursor shakes, stutters, or disappears, start the "CONFIG.EXE" file. Deselect the option "hardware cursor". Exit the configuration program and start "ANNO 1602" as always.

3.1 Screen resolution I
If you receive the message "SET DISPLAY MODE FAILURE", or one similar to this, start the "CONFIG.EXE" program and set the screen resolution to 640 x 480.

3.2 Screen resolution II
If you've set the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 and can't play any longer because the screen is filled with lines, or the picture is distorted, start the "CONFIG.EXE" program and reset the resolution to its old value.

4. Music and sound effects
Start the "CONFIG.EXE" program if you wish to turn off the music and sound effects before starting "ANNO 1602".

5. Video quality
If you wish to change the video quality before starting "ANNO 1602", start the "CONFIG.EXE" program. We recommend the high video quality setting for 8x CD-ROM drives or faster.

6. Highscores
The highscores will now be entered into the corresponding lists. You no longer have to delete your old saves and repeat the game to get your highscore onto the list. Simply start your saved game and end it once more. The current highscore will now be entered in the list.

7. Number of ships
If you have lots of ships and market wagons, it is possible that you won't be able to build any new ships, even though you haven't yet reached the limit of 20 ships. The patch will correct this problem.

8. Pause function in multiplayer mode
The game no longer continues to play after you activate the Pause function.

9. 10.000 Inhabitants
A speech file now gets played when you reach 10,000 inhabitants.

10. Number of possible raw material fields
The number of raw material fields possible has been doubled, and should suffice for advanced games.

11. Number of possible workshops
The number of possible workshops has been doubled, and should suffice for advanced games.

12. Stuttering Speech
This patch fixes a sound problem that sometimes occured with PCI soundcards and had caused stuttering speech.

13. Adjustment to DirectPlay 6.0

14. Stuttering speech output on machines faster than 400MHz was fixed.
