Hi all,

I have noticed that HE Demo is not running on dual core machines because of RDTSC issues. Here is a hot fix released for this issue:

www.oby.ro/rts/files/he_game_dual_core_patch_2007_04_04.zip

This patch also contains some new HE features like being able to chat in a network game creation screen and other minor stuff. So it is recommended for non dual core machines also.

Of course the performance counters are invalid or heretic in this patch. However this does not affect functionality unless you read debug data This debug issue will be fixed in next releases.

In order to install this patch you should unzip it into your HE bin folder and use this new executable instead of the old one. You still need to install the older version in order to get other files (sprites/sounds/etc).

BTW, using the "patch" means that you must run this new executable instead of the original HE executable.

You can still run the old one on single core machines because it will not be changed or overwritten
