Just run Universe Sandbox 2 to update to the latest version.

Please let me know if you run into any problems.

I don't see the list on the whatsnew page.

I do like the little UI upgrade you did. Heh... so now it'll use both my cores? I'm gonna see how many objects I can add before it gets a bit too laggy for me.

WOW! I've never been able to run 250 object so comfortably before!

Thanks. I forgot to upload the document.

The multi-core support is disabled by default (as it's buggy) and barely implemented yet.

Instead of pushing the launch of 2.1, I decided to disable it for now and re-enable it in a future update.

wtf that's odd... 250 objects isn't lagging though... like it normally does. Hmmm.

Dan, where did the dust fade away option go? Nevermind.

I'm a new fan of this game. The one that just released on Steam - is that 1 or 2? I assume it's 1.

No it's the same version as this, 2.1.

It says right below the Universe Sandbox logo in the main menu what version you're running. :)

I won't be able to fix that for a few hours, in the meantime you can just re-download the entire application and re-install it on top of your current install.

This is fixed. Somehow I didn't upload this file.
Thanks for letting me know.
