Moonie Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 For those unfamiliar with my timekeeping, a 'weekend release' usually means at 1am on Sunday night Sadly that was not actually a joke. Couldn't you make it a incy-wincy-tiny-little bit earlier.........Say like 12.02pm Friday 11/11/11? That's a nice round number and a lucky one at that.

Joeneren Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 If I've not gone to sleep, it's still the weekend! That didn't work on my boss, he got all PO'ed and started yelling something about me missing 3 days of work.... Looking forward to testing build 8!

Chris Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 It's most likely to come out tomorrow evening I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tservo1963 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 i'm a bit confused where to get v8 when its out. will i be able to download it from my desura page or since its still a beta from here somewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokik Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Oh man, can't wait to try out this new build! Many cool features. This is the first time I've used Desura, but I believe that it will update the game by itself, kinda like in Steam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosser Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 i'm a bit confused where to get v8 when its out. will i be able to download it from my desura page or since its still a beta from here somewhere ? Desura ought to update it automatically as soon as it's released. Works the same way Steam does - I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamkyon Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 i'm a bit confused where to get v8 when its out. will i be able to download it from my desura page or since its still a beta from here somewhere ? If you already 1) have Desura installed on your system and 2) claimed the game key that was gifted to you, Desura's client software will in all likelihood update Xenonauts to Build V8 once it's released.

Strange guy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Looking forward to the new build, but unfortunately the type of download desura uses is seriously throttled for me. So could be a while before I can play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davijdruss Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I have made the premium pre-order from Desura but there is no sign of a key number in any communication regarding the order. . Does anyone else have a unique number with their pre-order? DavidJRuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else have a unique number with their pre-order? DavidJRuss Oh, no. I typed my post on the assumption that tservo1963 was a so-called legacy pre-orderer, i.e. bought the game directly from Goldhawk Interactive before PayPal cut them off. My apologies, I should've made that clearer. If you purchased the game from Desura, you should be all set for the relaunch tomorrow. Instructions on how to claim your forum badge here.

Jean-Luc Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It should simply auto-update via Desura just like when a new patch is released on Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tservo1963 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks for the replies, I am a legacy pre-orderer. I will check desura tomorrow and see if it updates when V8 is released. Had nothing but problems with Steam when i bought a game once, so I never went back and don't know how their updates work. i hope Desura is better.

Had nothing but problems with Steam when i bought a game once, so I never went back and don't know how their updates work. i hope Desura is better. Tough luck I guess. I have ~100 games. Never had a single problem (that wasn't caused by problems on my own end). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Can I set up my Desura stuff and play the pre-order builds but still end up getting a Steam Key, or am I out of luck if I don't want to end up using Desura? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, nothing has been set in stone with regard to Xenonauts on Steam, yet. However I think Chris wants to give people the option to choose which service they want to use (Desura or Steam) and I expect you'll be able to choose a key for one or the other when the game is finished.

Chris Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 You'll have to wait till tomorrow I'm afraid. It's taken longer than I thought it would to fix up the maps and render sprites: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?199-Build-V8-Delayed-to-Monday-split-in-half&p=2522#post2522 Sorry.
