Its a pleasure I hope you enjoy it. The patch is gonna be up there forever, so never fear anyone. Once uni is finished in about 6weeks, i'm gonna create a page specially for the patch so ppl can find it on google. Still if anyone can get hold of the code for it, that would be a huge bonus, as it will allow us to fix the game.

Two little things that maybe someone with more brainpower could fix up: The music doesn't work in my game. The sound effects do, but not the music. Is it just me and my computer? Am I doing something wrong? Occationally a large patch of the terrain (while playing) will change into a sqaure black and white pixilated area. I'm assuming that it is my video card, but that bothers me because I'm running windows XP on with an NVIDIA GeForce 128mb card. Being that Machines was made quite some time ago, shouldn't my specs be more than enough to run it without problems? Anyone know how to fix it? Once again, I'm just being picky though. I'm very happy to be able to play it. Thanks Suskis! Yeah i've had the memory address fault too but it still works I'm running a 128mb Radeon9800Pro and its working a treat apart from a few anoyances, just try reinstalling machines upgrading the gfx drivers and see what happens. If someone could get hold of that developer again maybe get him to fix some bugs or maybe release the source code so the community can make some improvements, i'd be willing to try my hand at C++ again

It starts the music of the game but with a black screen. What's wrong? thanks Ok to install it just copy the files into the games directory and that will work. As for why yours isn't working daniloo i'm not sure, the first time I ran the game it failed i got the loading screen and it froze. So what i did was goto compatibility, turned off advanced text services, and set compatibilty mode to win98, after that its been fine. I don't know if that affects it or not, but I shall look into more when I get home from uni. It should work perfectly i've been playing it a bit My only with the game now is the mission briefings are a bit garbled :S

The patch for machines is now available on my web site Machines Patch @ sturreal.co.uk

Hi Please can someone send me a copy of the patch too? I also miss this game loads and really want to play it again.
