Matrix Games Forums

Hello all,

The latest update for SPM is now available. Just like all the updates we have been releasing since v. 0.7.9, the new update is available for you to download directly from the Matrix FTP: ftp://beta.matrixgames.com . When prompted, please specify the following username and password: SPMBetaTester/SpmBeta1114. I strongly recommend you to download the file using filezilla.

Inside the FTP you will find an installer file named SPM-Windows-Slitherine-0-7-14.exe, just download it and run it. Notice that you need to have your installation updated to at least SPM v. 0.7.8 first in order for it to work properly. If you didn't install any update from 0.7.9 onwards, don't worry, since 0.7.14 is a comprehensive patch and already includes all those changes, but please make sure you have updated to 0.7.8 first.

For those who prefer to install the update manually, we are also uploading a rar file in the FTP named SPM-Windows-Slitherine-0-7-14.rar. Just download it and overwrite your current installation with its contents, but please notice that you need to have your installation updated at least to SPM 0.7.8 first in order for it to work properly. Please refer to this link which features a step-by-step guide on how to perform the patching process.

This update includes bugfixes, gameplay adjustments and an implementation of the new 'reliability transfer' game mechanic. You can see the full changelog here.

Please, let us know what you think by posting your comments and suggestions at the forums!

Cheers,

Niel Armstrong talked about small steps and gigant leaps. About this last patch(build) it had made a gigant leap since last week. Name can be read, reliability is more logical. Still finding that go back to space center and then back to mission building is the fastest way to back in the mission list. Or have missed how to do it in mission building?
And I like the place holders telling that the space race is coming around the corner. Nice, very nice. [&o]

Is there a surprise planned for the 0.8 milestone ?

We'll probably make the switch to 0.8 once we add the functionality for the race to the Moon campaign.

Cheers,
