yay!

[CiZerin]

Finally! Now I can continue to play. Thx a lot!

[FroBodine]

Wow! Very excellent! Will we be able to also click on the enemy units to get these detail cards? Please, oh please.

[Velihopea]

Update 1.03 seems to be out now...

[RakuPL]

Steam downloaded about 10MB of data for W40K:A for me. What was that?

EDIT:
Now I noticed 1.03 in the main menu

[Bowmangr]

Woohoo, so glad I bought this game. I had faith that you were going to support it and update it regularly to make it even better. You have a real hit in your hands, so please enrich the game with options, game modes, mods, even new sounds, graphics will be welcome. It really is a good game with a very solid foundation, you just need to build it up with patches and even an expansion some months later on.

Keep up the good work. Good job with polishing the game. I can safely suggest this game to my friends now that it is obvious that you support it so consistently.

[lordzimoa]

Yes, enemy unit details can now be consulted.

Will it fix the two CTD errors that I've had and reported so I can play the game?

[xxaosicxx]

Nice!

My Steam version has updated also...I see you guys fixed the freezing-when-selecting-hex-visibility problem - nice one.

The detailed unit stats are awesome. Really awesome!

[Aekar]

SUPERB !

[Kerensky]

Will it fix the two CTD errors that I've had and reported so I can play the game?

I sincerely hope so! Give the new patch a fresh start (don't load saved games) and see if you still encounter your issues. If you do, please document the problem in as much detail and explanation as you can. The hardest problems to fix are the ones we can't re-create on our end, so please help us help you!

[rezaf]

Can those of us running a non-steam version get a standalone download? Please?

There is an update button on the launch screen. Or does this not work for you? Apologies if it doesn't.

Yep, this is on Steam. I don't know why they haven't posted the full change log on their own forum yet. Lots of awesome fixes!!

[rezaf]

There is an update button on the launch screen. Or does this not work for you? Apologies if it doesn't.

First thing I do with Matrix/Slitherine games is replace the launcher with a direct link...
I don't understand why a download link isn't just posted in the good old fashioned way when an update is released, but you're right FroBodine, that works - thanks for the heads up.
