Patch for Build 2.26 bought at Retail Store

[Dario]

Hello,

I was trying to use the patch on what I believe is the retail version (build 2.26) and it ... cannot update the installed version of Starship Tycoon because the patching program I found on net for build 2.29 says unknown version.

How do I patch this version of the game?

How do I get updates?

Thanks.

I have the exact same concern. Is there any way to patch the retail version?

[cliffski]

there currently isnt a patch for the retail version, just the online one.

[heroquestelf]

Okay, are you willing to provide a link so that those of us who bought the retail version can download your online version?

I have to admit, I'm a little hostile over this. I feel like we spent our money just like everyone else, and we're being treated like we pirated the software, or somehow got in in a less than honest fashion.

I have no qualms about uninstalling and using the version off your website--doing a complete new reinstall. I have thoroughly enjoyed the game, but it's been a bit buggy. I've noticed on your website that all the bugs I've noticed were addressed in the patches. I would REALLY appreciate the ability to be able to patch my software--the software that, might I point out again, I bought and spent my money on.

Hi, dont worry, for complex reasons we can't do that, but if you email me at cliff AT positech.co.uk, I will sort out a fully patched full version for you. The problem is the two games are totally separate installs, but I can explain better by email.
thanks

Did you receive my email?

Just a bump to let you know another soul has fallen into this gravity well :o . Any word of encouragment would be appreciated. Oh, and I've also sent you an email, Cliff, so hopefully I'll be on your radar as well.

[heroquestelf]

Thank you, Cliff. I've installed what you sent me, and it worked great. I've really enjoyed all the new changes (especially the ships2.dds--very cool).

I also bought the game at a retail store and would like to get the patches. Cliff, I sent you an e-mail as well from my work e-mail.

Thanks!

Can't you track down the installer used for the store version and repack the online one so they're compatible?

Also...HEY HEY! How's it goin? Still just you :wink: ?

[cliffski]

still just me!

[Kristius]

Hey Cliff, can you send me the fully patched version as well? I also bought the game from a retail outlet.

[draggar]

I can't get a patch either, but I'll email Cliff about the copy. Thank you in advance!

(Just an FYI email).

How do I know what version that I have? I bought the game at a store last week. Is that the latest or do I need the patch that everybody is talking about. The game keeps crashing on the 4th level.

[cliffski]

yes thats old, you need to email me.
