I agree, that was unacceptable, apologies for the inconvenience folks. The "Check for Updates" from the game menu was working at least. I've just fixed the links, please try them again.
Regards,

Did you refresh the page? If you are still using a cached copy, the links may not work. They work fine for me now.

I did. Check for updates does not work either... freezes when creating handle for the file...

Refreshed (Firefox Ctrl-F5 and Ctrl-Shift-R both used) and no effect.
Tried with Chrome and IE - still doesn't work.
Launcher "check for update" also still fails.

The launcher auto-update works fine here. What problem are you getting?
I forgot that the FTP has mirrors which can take some time to sync, so when I fixed the link it may not have worked for all locations until all the FTP mirror servers synced up.

Kayoz,
Regarding the automatic "Check for Updates" updater, I know you have the update now but if that was not working for you could you please e-mail me at
erikr@matrixgames.com with your IP address and/or country? I want to double-check to make sure one of the mirror servers for the automatic updater hasn't failed to sync.
Regards,
- Erik

Thank you for the patch and modding guide.
"now periodically check for and nationalize any unowned cargo at bases/colonies from defeated empires"
This will really help a lot with certain cargo issues

I just bought the game and all 3 expansions. Do I have to install the patches separately as I install each game, install all the games and then update, or what? [&:] Thanks in advance for advice.

Thank you, Sir. I'll go ahead with install and patch. I recently got the urge to play a 4X game again (hadn't played one since MoO2). I played Armada 2526/Supernova for a couple of weeks and while it's not a bad game it just doesn't have enough meat on the bones. Plus, forums for that game are pretty much dead. I'm looking forward to Distant Worlds and a forum where I can get the help I'll undoubtedly need.

My saved games are gone after latest patch. Is this normal?

yes.
the saved games are in folders named by the version.
so the games are still there but not in the same save game folder.
if the patch is save game compatible you could move the saved game into the new versions folder otherwise start a new game or undo the patch to finish you old game.
