I have the beta enabled. The game shows an "update" is available, when I select it it starts for a second then stops, never updates. If I go back to vanilla it is fine. When I select the beta branch again it updates but the update Steam icon is still indicated. If I try and launch directly via the .exe it give me an error and shows the steam game page and the update is indicated (where the play button is), but no update is pushed through.

Change History

V1.04.22 – 13th August 2026
New Features and Rule Changes
The game can now use up to 4 GB of memory on 64-bit Windows instead of 2 GB. Long sessions were exhausting the old limit, which is what caused late-session text and graphics failures.

Ha ha ha ... I remember explicitly bringing this up as I always edit the EXE header bit for 4GB capable games. And the response I think Joel (or via Pavel) was a game of this level of graphics could not possibly hit a wall. (one less thing to do now after installing)

Thanks for continuing to work on this game! I have been playing since it came out, and every time I play, I find out there is still more to it!
