Just because I've tested the patch, doesn't mean that it (necessarily) works with their installers, etc. I'm sure everyone who bought the game will have access to the patch automatically as soon as it's available.

We are working on it. There a process that takes a few steps and we had a few things in line ahead of this one. We'll get it out to you ASAP. Possibly this week, definitely by next week.

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		Thanks for info! Are there some changes in patch(tweaks, or perhaps something new) or it is only fixing bugs?

-oh an i had little bug in mission 5 thats why i have to end my game by ctrl+alt+del and it never loaded -i had 2 soldiers in small room and it was enemy turn so he came there and he spent 5 min by turning to each other( turning cost 0 AP so this was endless)

Status: offline 		This 1.01 patch is all about fixing bugs. I was planning to also include the toolkit and documentation for the toolkit but there have been a number of serious bugs found and I decided that it was a priority to get the game working first. There have been a couple of AI bugs fixed, so hopefully that will be sorted now. If it's not, let me know and I'll take another look at it. Do you happen to know which enemy type was causing the problem? The AI scripts are different for each enemy type, and I *think* the bug I fixed was with the Kryllith AI.

Status: offline 		Turning has a zero AP cost for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons is that it givea a little flexibility to players who are struggling on a particular level. If you're really in trouble, you can stop and turn for free at every step of the way, and make the game that little bit easier. Players can't really take advantage of it and "cheat" the difficulty level because stopping and turning around all the time would become so cumbersome and clunky that you would never do it unless you really needed to. It just gives players a little bit more wriggle room if they truly need it.

Yes, the toolkit does allow you to use your own models to create new maps. They're supported via the DirectX .X format, which I believe is widely supported in modelling applications.

Status: offline 		It's Thursday. "Next Week" is rapidly running out. Is the patch still coming this week? I'm in a holding pattern and waiting for this patch.

No pressure. Well, not too much.

Eric? Any patch progress? Anything? Please? It's not like you to not call or write. Especially when you promised you would.

Thank you for your time.
