Re: The Patch!
[q]Upgrade Space Empires IV Original or Gold to Deluxe version 1.94[/q]
Isn't Gold what we all have here? In which case isn't the 73 mb download required for Gold users?

Re: The Patch!
The 73MB file comes from the upgrade to the .mp3 music system in deluxe. The patch includes all of the music in .mp3 format

Re: The Patch!
So if you have Gold and are up to 1.91, you have to download the 73 MB file, of which all but probably about 5 MB is duplicates of files you already have. 
Kind of inefficent, but ok...
EDIT: Oh, never mind. We all gotta stop posting at once.

Re: The Patch!
I just did some testing, and Gold 1.91 and Deluxe 1.94 appear to be fully compatible with each other. I started a game in 1.91, played the turn in 1.94, copied the plr file back to the 1.91 folder and executed the turn with 1.91, and it worked just fine. I can't guarantee nothing in Deluxe would cause problems in Gold, but I think it's a fairly safe bet that playing existing PBW games with 1.94 even before they're upgraded on PBW won't cause any problems.

That changelog is going to be interesting.

Re: The Patch!
This is interesting. According to the description, the 73 MB patch will upgrade non-Gold SE4, as in version 1.49, up to 1.94. That would explain why it's 73 MB. I had not heard they were going to offer that. So basically anyone that never bought SE4 Gold can get fully updated now.
The patch for 1.91 is only 3 MB, which is probably mainly the new sound files.
