New patch available (1.23)

Hi, you only need 1.23 if its a PC copy because all it changed was a fix for directx vertex buffers which the Mac copy does not use.

Latest patch:

http://www.positech.co.uk/democracy2/De ... tch123.exe

This patches from version 1.22 only. You can always redownload the full game. This is a tweaked version of the beta 1.23 patch. The changes:

Married Tax Allowance now makes parents happier
University grants make parents happier
Increased probability of prison riot event
Reduced positive effects of legal aid policy
Bailing out company dilemma now costs money
Creationism policy now affects technological backwater and technological advantage situations
Oil prices now affect the chances of the petrol protests situation
Reduced effectiveness of free buss passes for retired people
New Space Program policy.
New Pirates Attacking Oil tanker event.
Liberals are now angered slightly by citizenship tests
Stem cell research now boosts lifespan

Then I need the Mac version of the latest patch whose change log actually includes changes to the gameplay. In the top right corner of my game it says that I am using the 1.11 patch, which does not seem to have some of the changes that are in the 1.23 change log you posted (for example, my game does not upset liberals when I introduce citizenship tests, nor do I have a space programme policy). This would also suggest that the 1.23 patch did more than tweak Windows issues?

Thanks again.

The Mac Version of the game is ported by redmarblegames, a different company who may well number the versions slightly differently to the way I do it, but you could always check with them that you have the latest copy for the Mac.

How can I check what version of the game I have and how do I install the patch? I downloaded it and ran it to be saved in the Democracy II folder but a legend came out saying the patching failed.

Hi, the version number is shown in the corner of the main menu screen. If you have version 1.25, that is the latest one.
if for whatever reason the patches fail, you can re-download and re-install the entire game using the download link from the original purchase email (providing you bought the game direct from us).
That version is always updated to be the very latest build of the game. Then just reinstall over the top of the existing game.
If that download link no longer works, email cliff@positech.co.uk with your details and I can re-activate it for you.
