Build V16.1 Released!

[chacineiro]

Looking forward to when Xenonauts goes over to steam, and there is no more of this Desura nonsense.

Is that going to happen when Xenonauts hits Beta, or only at release? Cant wait to get rid of Desura too.

[meowmers]

I preordered the premium alpha yesterday, looks like that was a mistake. Desura is giving me a mirrors error and i can't download the 16.1 standalone without purchasing the standard Alpha also. why can't you just use SVN for updates?

sorry for the lame first post but it's frustrating to pay extra not to be able to play a game.

[Aklyon]

SVN would certainly be quicker. Not sure if it would be easier, but if it lets me update xenonauts without having to wait days for desura to get its arse in gear, I'd figure it out.

Can also throw in my 2 cents regarding Desura. I am anything but happy with it and how it works unfortunately.

[Jekar]

any idea when the full 16.1 zip will be available?

[vyrank]

I have been waiting for two days for Desura to update. I have stopped restarted verified files Shutdown desura. rebooted. (Grumbled) about everything I can think of but can't even play now that it is hanging on the 16.1 update.

It is at this moment 4:17am at..........

Desura Pty Ltd

Level 10, 50 Market Street

Melbourne 3000

VIC, Australia

Will have to wait until their day staff arrive before anything starts happening

[Templer]

Next time I shoot down an UFO right over Australia, but will not start a rescue mission.

The Australians should deal by them self with the bad boys then!

So I just pre-ordered the game and get this no mirrors error. Guessing I have to wait for these Desura folks to wake up before I get my fix?

Tried the v16 but it's crashing on Hidden Movement all the time

[Chris]

I've just uploaded the V16.1 standalones to Desura, so it's up to them to approve it now. I'm not sure what's going on with their mirrors issue, I'll ask them tomorrow morning if they're still having issues with it.

I understand the frustration with this and I apologise for the ongoing issues, although there's not much we can do about it. I actually emailed Steam yesterday in light of Towns and Zombies etc getting Greenlighted but they still don't distribute games until they're finished. So not too much we can do there.

[Gribbstar]

Thanks for the update Chris, looking forward to playing

[Grufflehound]

I understand the frustration with this and I apologise for the ongoing issues, although there's not much we can do about it.

I doubt anyone here feels you have anything whatsoever to apologise for, although I for one greatly appreciate you feeling the need to do so. You are doing a tremendous job there Chris and deserve everyones gratitude and admiration.

[Jean-Luc]

Apologies are unnecessary only once they're made.

[Aklyon]

The PC versions are again missing, so...updating?

[deMangler]

I have been waiting for two days for Desura to update. I have stopped restarted verified files Shutdown desura. rebooted. (Grumbled) about everything I can think of but can't even play now that it is hanging on the 16.1 update.

I have this problem if trying to launch the game through Desura, but it is still possible for me to play the old version if I close Desura and run the exe in the install folder (for me Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\xenonauts\Xenonauts.exe)

[Tuckles]

Alternatively, for all of you impatient type folks, just restart Desura in offline mode. It'll run version 16 just fine.

[Tssha]

Yeah. Despite (any possible) claims to the contrary, Desura is not a form of DRM. It's entirely possible to run the game without it.

This goes for some games on Steam as well.

[Gorlom]

Chris just a suggestion: name small patches more then .1 away from the version they patch. It seems that Desura still displays premium and standard preorders as different versions (by adding a .1 value to one of them) and it confuses some of the new people whether the new version is out or not.

[Übermensch]

Hello. So is finally available this version now to download properly from Desura? thanks

[TNoyce]

I've actually had pretty good luck with Desura until the 16.1 release.

Too bad Desura doesn't have their act together right now for whatever reason.

Hopefully, they'll get their heads out of their @** and things will be good again.

[LesserAngel]

Yeah, I'd like to be able to go bug catching w/o running into the same one (farm tileset crash) all the time. They better hurry it up!

[timo]

I'm not even sure why a game in development would need a Steam-like distribution platform like Desura. Why not just provide direct downloadable windows executable patches for everyone? Then once the game is finished, push it out to a distribution platform. Seems like Desura only provides a lot of extra headaches for everyone.

[Grufflehound]

I'm confused and as an 'old wrinkly', I don't even think it's because of the damn senile dementia kicking in again this time.

Am I right in what I think people seem to be saying, that update 16.1 is in fact available on Desura now .......apart from the missing Windows version that is and also the fact that it is being listed as version 16.0 by mistake? If this is the case, then why do Desura continue to declare that the most recent update for Desura was instead back 3 days ago? I keep restarting Xenonauts through Desura instead of straight from my hard drive, hoping to see the automatic update process from them will kick in as it did before but so far it never has.

[chacineiro]

Im still getting the mirror error, and the standalone shows as 16.0 =/

I tried deleting the old version, but still cant download via desura.

[Cane]

And still no 16.1 stand alone for windows? I must say once again I'm disappointed...
