Updates? Where?
« on: June 24, 2011, 11:50:19 AM »
Now, I'm often seeing posts on this site about new features and upcoming updates... Where do I get them, exactly?

Do I download the game again when they come out? How do I know they came out? Does the game automatically install them? Is there an option I click and it searches for newer versions?

When Dan releases a new update, Universe Sandbox automatically downloads and installs the new update. No need to go downloading the Universe Sandbox launcher after each update.

Also, when an update has been downloaded, it shows a "what's new" page, so you will know when it has been updated.

Steam will automatically download and install any update without asking.

The website version will ask you if you want to download the new version and then again to update (it checks for updates every time you run it).

You can always check the version number against the number posted at the top of the main forum here:

Look for a new update early next week (and not tomorrow as originally claimed).

Ok, *well I'm not using the Stream version, but I found the "What's New" button and I am at v2.1.2

Thanks.

*The Stream version was the cheaper one with some type of achievements, right?
