Welcome to Fantasy Realms 2! Version 1.36 ------------------- Note: Fantasy Realms 2 version 1.36 can be installed over older versions of Fantasy Realms 2. Note: Fantasy Realms 2 version 1.36 uses only 2 pdb files. Versions previous to 1.30 used 3 pdb files. FR2 will not delete the old FantasyRealms_#####_3.pdb file. This file will stay in memory and eat up space. In order to remove it, you must delete FR2. This will remove all associated pdb files, including the 3.pdb file. Then reinstall FR2 version 1.36. (Only do this if installing over a version before version 1.30.) ------------------- There are three (3) files that need to be installed for the correct operation of Fantasy Realms 2. Use the files with _color_ in the name if you have a color device, use the files with _bw_ in the name if you have a monochrome device.
