Frostbite requires Ghost Recon^TM, Desert Siege^TM, Island Thunder^TM, and the 1.4 patch installed to operate correctly. The installation program is automated to detect the existing installation of Ghost Recon. The installation of Frostbite requires 476 MB of free hard drive space. You are be directed to use the Frostbite launcher to play the game for the first time. It is important to do this since we have encoded the batch conversion of the mp3 audio files to wav format.  If you don't use the launcher your audio files for Frostbite will not work.
 

The installation instructions for the full version 1.1 is the same as version
1.0 with the exception that the audio wasn't compressed and the launcher isn't
necessary to use with the exception that you won't have the heros available for
quick mission mode until you use it.

To patch version 1.0 to 1.1 simply apply the patch using the default settings in
the installer.

You must have Frostbite installed for this to work correctly.

This patch is set to overwrite.

This patch fixes and adds the following content:

Fixed two geometry holes in the Keep that were causing players to fall to their deaths
in the two rear towers (from the front of the castle). Also fixed
the floor textures in the upper level floor towers to block sight to above.

Fixed the FAMAS weapons to have a non-neutral gray texture on the magazine.

Fixed the silenced property on the SFW-SD gun.

Fixed effects.xml for a more realistic effect in the 3D game world.

Fixed the damaged radar map texture name that was causing installation failure on Asian
versions of Windows.

Overrode the .wav that plays, "I'm not going swimming" with one that says, "Too Deep".

Fixed the MINIMI to have the texture on the correct side.

Fixed FB03 - The Sniper's nest to prevent a hostage from being killed when the
Objective has been met.

Added a woodland version of the M24 sniper rifle.

Added Threat Indicator to include a compass only.

Complete revision of Multi-player aspect in Frostbite.

The revision includes the following:

Default mp platoons are reactivated.

Added the default woodland camo pattern for the ghosts.

There are now 16 new MP skins. This brings the total choices up to
32 MP actor skins while playing with Frostbite activated.

Added several new Kit Restriction Files to accomodate the wide variety of
preferences.

Default kit restrictions only have the custom skins added.

"Frostbite" kit restrictions have the weapons included in the mod added to the default mixture
of weapons.

This patch fixes and adds the following content:

INCLUDED THE SAME SHT FILE FOR THE KEEP MAP THAT IS ON MY SYSTEM.
