If you keep it up like this your game will be ready in no time :) Nice to see things getting done on the second day, especially in response to players comments. Thanks BSS! And thank whatever diety you thank for taking out a group of enemies in "Bolt", let's hope it was the one that attacked your techs on the other side of the map ONLY once you were miles away. Can't wait to get home and check it out.

Doing the manual update now.

Problem i was having was the auto updater would reach 100% the CTD, then i would be stuck back to downloading the patch somewhere into a dozen or more times.

this is with vista 32 bit and a nvidia 8800gt
