Hi,

I have been trying to play Shellshock on different setups including Dosbox, Qemu with MS DOS 7.1 and MS DOS 7.1 running natively on an AMD K5 500. With each of these configurations I observed the same behaviour: The game crashed always on the tank simulator scene and frequently (but not always) when trying to play FMV. Apart from that the game is playable, i.e. the missions acccessible through the briefing room. The README included with the demo says that they were planning to release a patch to tackle that problem with the simulator (and probably also with the FMV) but I could not find it anywhere with google. Has the patch ever been released? Or is there just no mirror due to the low popularity of the game?

P.S.: I have yet had enough test runs under several different conditions to have sufficient reason to believe that it is due to a broken EXE. I have also tried to replace it with the one from the demo -- it loaded and ran but it still crashed in the same manner.
