neoufo51 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Really now...how hard is it to understand how to get this update thing running, people? A patch will come out soon to update links and whatnot. Hmmm, no difference really...cleaner look, but doesnt help me any more than before. The options panel is there, but eh, no big deal EDIT: The "beta" option might be interesting to some though...
