What it does:

This patch fixes slowdown problems that occur when running Alice on machines 
equipped with Matrox video cards. Areas that had transparent shafts of light 
would slow the machine down tremendously when those lighting effects were 
on the screen.

This problem originally occurred on Matrox G400 based video cards, but may 
appear on any Matrox video card. If you are having this slowdown on another 
video card, you can try this fix.



How to install it:

To install the fix, first locate the folder where you installed Alice. Inside 
that directory is a folder called "base"
(default is C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\American McGee's Alice\Base).
Just copy the "pak6_update01.pk3" file into the base folder. If you are running 
Alice, you will need to quit the game and restart it.

There should be other files in your base folder, with names like "pak0.pk3" and 
"pak1_large.pk3". Depending on your installation choices, you may have different 
pak files in your base folder.

To remove the fix, just delete the "pak6_update01.pk3" file and restart Alice.
