***NOTE: You still require the original System Shock 2 CD to play!***

Installation notes:
- Patch the game to the latest version found on the Irrational Games homepage, 3DGamers, or any other popular gaming sites.
- Backup and replace the existing .exe with the patched file and play the game.

Note: Users with Intel Hyperthreading Technology must turn it off to avoid crashes/complications.

- Open a command prompt. Change the directory to your CD and type "setup -lgntforce "
This should allow you to install the game as normal.
