Build V17.52 Released!

This is a further update for Build V17.5, (hopefully) fixing most of the crash bugs in the game. It is available on Desura both with the standalone and the auto-updater.

This build is in the process of being ported to Mac and Linux too, as it's been a while since either of those two versions have had an update.

In terms of new features, there aren't really very many to speak of as it is primarily a stability build. Unfortunately, I was a bit of a moron last time around and didn't save the folder structure for the archive files I generated, so I've had to re-generate them again. This means you'll have to redownload them all again, making this update 3.3gb (I have saved the folder structure this time though so there won't be any further issues with this).

We have made some good progress this week but we've not locked it down into a new build yet. Also, as we're doing a bit more internal testing on the builds, it takes longer to release them - so expect the build I scheduled for this weekend to arrive some time next week instead.

We'll keep you posted on how it is coming along, but there'll be some cool new stuff in it like our updated launcher and the like.

Thanks for the update ! I will wait for when the auto-update version is available (hopefully soon).

=)

thanks for the update.

Excellent Chris.

Glad to hear you got the major issues resolved.

Wait, you mean this isn't the build you scheduled for this weekend?

But, it's new... I like new.

It's more stable... I like more stable.

Lie, and say this was your plan all along

Excelent Chris,

Thx for Update...

I like updates.

Sadly, I saw a Hidden Movement Crash in 17.52. I have posted the details on an existing thread in the bugs forum.

Just a question...have anyone tried the quick battle mode ? Is it working for you ?

Nice

Oh thank you god, I can finally go back to (mostly) crash free xenonauts!

::does the happy dance::

Great news as usual guys! `ll be waiting for the desura auto-update

Niiiiiiiiice, let's see how can I get my troops killed in this one

Played a quick battle on the standalone. Worked well. Only two minor graphical bugs.

Let's hope it keeps working when I try out the campaign this evening =)

Thanks for that.

bah! going out. But will play later. Effortless standalone download too. >joins Chollirem<

So far so good... much stabler

Campaign: No issues (I haven't gotten any arctic mission), except for the annoying corridor in the scout.. Got three men killed trying to take the scout. Should just have tossed some frag grenades..

I like the new maps, all is stable except for arctic. I like the research tree much better now. All in all, GJ guys!

Way more stable - haven't had a single crash yet...too bad the old saves don't work

There's a game-ending freeze happening. I posted it in the bugs forum.

The game runs quite far though and you get a good feel for the game. I really like what I've seen so far!

I've dropped an email to the guy I know at Desura, hopefully when he wakes up we'll have our patch authorised.

Update available on Desura finally! Validating files

Thanks for the update Chris!

At least it seems like Desura now works. Great job on the file system!
