My mistake. I'll be releasing a fix in the next few hours.

Run the update.exe program in the Universe Sandbox folder.
it's probably here:
C:\Program Files\Universe Sandbox\update.exe

Unfortunately the way I handled beta expiration doesn't allow the new updater to work automatically and you have to run update.exe manually.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Thanks for your patience.

Is this an update that just allows the user to get one after it says Expired? Or is this a bigger update? Because it still crashes, usually when I start it after I ran the update.

This update only fixes the expired problem (and a few small menu tweaks).

Can you send me a crash report and put "mustacheman" (your user name) in the description so I know it's from you.

I'm working on a variety of crash bugs and will provide an update this week.

Ok. Sent one with a fairly detailed explanation of when it crashes and what I've done.

If you're still having trouble, just download the full setup.exe from the Beta download page. (it's now called beta2d). Please let me know if that fixes your problem.

Oh sorry. I still have the glitch problem, but now it's when it opens!  :'( I don't have the beta expired anymore though.
