The X-Wing Alliance 2.02 update is available from ftp://ftp.lucasarts.com. or http://remote.newswall it's 3Mb

The problem with Battle 7: Mission 2 has been fixed in this new update.

Here is the list of changes in the patch:

NEW FEATURES

The Film Room: The film room will allow you to record and view the missions you have flown.

Aureal A3D Interactive(TM) sound support: Provides hardware accelerated 3d positional audio. To enable this support go to the sound options menu in the game, and select on for 3d sound enabled. If you have an Aureal supported sound card it will default to A3D support.

Improvements to Direct Sound 3D support: We have made adjustments to our sound system to create a more fulfilling experience for users with Direct Sound 3D supported soundcards.

MISSION UPDATES

Prologue mission 3: Sometimes after a player would inspect 97% of the craft in Cargo area 2 the goal would appear as satisfied when it wasn't. This has been addressed.

Prologue mission 7: Changes in the ordering and triggering conditions that make the mission more cohesive.

Prologue mission 8: Occasionally the player's craft would inexplicably get disabled in the freighter region; this has been fixed.

Battle 4 mission 2: Occasionally a mission critical container would spontaneously explode; this has been fixed.

Battle 6 mission 5: On Easy difficulty only there was a problem with TIE Fighter AI; this has been adjusted.

MY THOUGHTS

Whilst this patch doesn't address every problem in the game it fixes some of the more critical ones. I have heard reports that the A3D support still doesn't work very well, with some people having more luck than others. The addition of the Film Room is a good idea, and you can find films of each mission in the strategy guide
