I’m close to releasing patch 1.36, and would love a few helpful GSB players to take a look at it and shake out any bugs that escaped my radar. All you need is:
- To be an owner of the full game
- To have bought it direct from positech (just for admin reasons, sorry).
It doesn’t matter what PC you have, or whether you do or do not have any expansions installed. I just need a good cross section of people to give the new patch a try.
If this applies to you, can you email me at cliff@positech.co.uk, it helps if you email me from the address you used to buy the game, or at least include that address in the email. The idea is that you tell me about anything that is suddenly broken, or unbalanced, or annoying that is new.
changelist:

Cheers!
