Anyway to the point, i just bought your SUDG in GAME, it is the 2.1 version, i take it i dont need the patch??
If not i would suggest a BIG notice on your download page as there are lots of peeps out there that dont have very bright lightbulbs...
Rates up there with STARS, Space Empires X easily, i look forward to see where your going to go with it (a new UI might be a start, im sorry but it looks like a refuge from a PSX puzzle game :) )

Status: offline 		Just read the topic about 'Neverending Wait' which sorts it out, it would appear that they have released an up to date version 2.1, like they did with 'X-Gold' (Cant wait for X-2 :) ). so no, you dont have the most up to date version, i believe the 2.1 patch is the one they are waiting for in the post i mentioned, the date in the post states 12-6-03 so you shouldnt have to wait too long.
Just found the MODS.zip, hmmm, Intresting. Shame the UI isnt moddable :(

Status: offline 		Andrew! Please help!

I am an absolute NUT for space strategy games!

I live in England and regularly repair to the local 'holy of holies', the High Street games shop, to see if there are any new space strategy games in!

My eyes went out on stalks when I saw yours on the shelves a few days ago at the end of June 2003 BUTTTT....

... despite some excellant reviews, I was warned about bugs which cause crashes...

DIRECT me, please, to the patch which will fix the crashes and I will buy the game!

I used Google to look at possible patches to the game - I always look at patches sites these days before I buy games, a sad sign of the times - and I got mightily confused. It seemed as if I might need to install a patch 1.1 before I install patch 1.2. Then there seems to be a patch 2.0 at 16 megs!

Please give me clear instructions, Andrew, as to which patch an English user would need, if any, to play the game without crashes and I shall buy it! Your thread seems to indicate I dont need such a patch. If you can confirm that I will buy it!

Live long and prosper.

Thanks for the interest in SUDG!

SUDG actually started with a 1.0 release and has been pretty crash free for its history. My personal experience on multiple machines across the various revisions has been without any significant issues. Each update fixes a few bugs and adds some new features, but none of these versions is unstable. By most game standards these days, SUDG is virtually bug free. As one user posted below, they never had a single crash with 2.0. I have not had a single one with 2.1 either.

The current commercial release has 2.0 on CD in the US, 2.1 on CD in Europe, so no previous 1.x or 2.0 updates are necessary.

With that said, SUDG 2.1 is available through our main website ([url]www.matrixgames.com[/url]) and also through a variety of patch/FTP sites that keep archives of game updates. We should also be releasing shortly a quick patch for some crash issues for 2.1 reported on this forum. I have not seen them myself and I would not consider the game unstable because of these issues. In any case, a fix for those should be posted very soon.

This forum should have some alternate links posted if you have any trouble with the TrueUpdate utility included with the game or with our FTP links.

Best Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		I have a tendancy to add more features to each patch rather than just fixing bugs. This is were any instabilities show up. Most games that crash, and they aren't that common, can be restarted by using the Autosave game file. If you're buying in England then you should have the latest version and no patch is needed. Well, except for the one I'm working on now. :D

You should be able to get patches from the Matrix Games website. Look under downloads.

There is no higher use for the computer or higher game form than space strategy games! :D
