Hi everyone, my first post here. I bought the Alpha of Xenonauts a week or so ago and ran into the same difficulties as SmeggyGit. Playing Xenonauts through the Desura client was very unstable with a lot of CTD. The standalone download from Desura is indeed v14.1 which is pretty confusing as the file name states v15.1.

Cheers, Matt.
ps. I should also say that since buying the Alpha I have put many hours into playing this game and I think it's terrific. Yes, there are bugs and balance issues (particularly with the number of ufo fighters spawning) but i'm sure these kinks will be ironed out in good time. I just want to thank Chris and all the other devs for producing such a rich and deeply rewarding tactical reworking of xcom. Thanks.
