Version 0.004 is now online. This encompasses all of the latest updates shown here and on the website. It is a 464 meg download so if you are using DSL or a slower connection it isn't recommended that you install this. Once installed though, any later updates will take much less time since only the changed files will be downloaded.
If you get a missing mfc 80 DLL or a configuration error when trying to start the program, you will need to following Visual Studio DLL installer...
VS Redistributable DLL Pack 2010
Note : This is a one time installation only
If you get a missing dx DLL then you haven't installed at least the March '09 DirectX package or later. DirectX can be had from the Microsoft website, search for 'directx 2010 redistributable'.
Additional information and credits can be found in the root installation folder.
* Note : the game does not fully support the lost device feature of DX, if you alt-tab out of the game simply click on the 'Galaxy Empire' tab in the task bar then use 'file->exit' or press alt then f then x.
