View Full Version : Demo Patched?

Does anyone know if the demo was patched to fix some of the bugs that were in both the full Version and the demo?

For example the turning bug, in which your ship starts rotating the other way when it tries to pass the 360 degree mark.

Also the bug where you can't see the text for items on the maps including the ships you are supposed to protect and escort.

I have been trying to play the demo but those two bugs are driving me crazy. I can't find the ship (can't see it), and the pirates kill it everytime. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

FYI you can fail that mission and still progress in the campaign.

Aaron promised a patch for the demo in his Last interview. Although, I think he is using most of his time on getting Space Empires V ready for release.

It crashes on my PC (WinXP Pro, fairly ond TNT2 graphics card, Direct X 9).

I can go through the initial setup options, but it tries to wrte to address 0x0 when starting the game itself.

What's that about SE5? There's nothing on Malfador's site.

He was shooting for a late '04 release but he doesn't think he is going to make it by then. So hopefully early '05 it will be here.
