I got 3DS2.01 from my dealer with no instructions. Observations: 1.) You had better save any MLI file changes to your materials because the update will over write! 2.) The install program isn't smart enought to know not to write everything over even if it's only an update. Thus you lose any modifications you made to supplied meshes, materials, cels etc. You also waste 20 minutes pumping in disk you don't need. Is there any way to only copy the updated files? 3.) Do you need to erase your .cfg file so 2.01a will remake it? 4.) Is it possible 2.01a can't use my .exp Video driver routine that worked for 2.0? 5.) Does anyone know if CHROMA Gold has such a new driver and if it's on a BBS? 6.) There seems to be 2.01a bugs described here, is there a bug list yet? THanks Buck
