As promised recently by soon-to-be Aspyr employee Brad Oliver, the company has released a patch to their popular 3rd person action/adventure title Alice.

The update makes a large number of additions to the game, modernizing it for OS X with features like Full-Scene Anti Aliasing (FSAA) and multiprocessor support, as well as fixing crashes and speeding up the game overall.

Here's a full list of fixes in the 1.1.1 update:

• The tones for the 3-door puzzle on "Beyond the Wall" should play properly now.
  
• Alice sports new icons.
  
• Fixed problem with movies not being centered correctly in some cases.
  
• Rolled in many fixes and improvements from other Quake3-based Mac ports, including FSAA support, anisotropic filtering, texture compression and SMP support.
  
• Added HID Manager support.
  
• Fixed various crashes when loading levels.
  
• Fixed sound corruption/crash when changing sound settings.
  
• Removed dependency on OpenTransport, so Alice should launch and run on systems that have OpenTransport disabled now.
  
• A few new code optimizations are in place, so Alice will in general run faster now.
  
• Fixed issue with OpenGL and MacOS X that caused gridlines in the various menus.
  
• Alice would not start if your game monitor was set to 256 colors before launching the app under MacOS 8 & 9.
