IMPORTANT NOTE: We had a bad bug in Beta 2: If you saved a game in that beta, that save is completely broken and will freeze the game even in a newer beta where that bug is fixed. However, we are looking into ways to fix these broken saves -- we have a plan but it'll be a few days before it's available. We'll post more at that time.

NOTE: Multiplayer games are NOT backward-compatible with the last patch (v2.0.1c), so you CANNOT play with those who have that version (and they cannot play with you).

Game saves ARE backward compatible with v2.0.1c, so if you switch back to that version, you can continue playing any saves made in this beta.

BETA 3

BUGS FIXED:

* Saving a game in beta 2 will break the save. (Fixed now but unfortunately any save that was broken in this way is not fixable. Very sorry about that.)
