Helpful Hints

As the game was preparing to ship, a critical bug was found that prevented players from progressing through the story if they paid Hal Taffin in one of the earliest plot missions. The discs had already been pressed, so instead of rerunning the CDs, this handy hint sheet was printed to nudge players in the right direction. Fixing this bug delayed the release in the US, and ultimately the Privateer 2 patch resolved this issue.
