Who is using 1.2.1? Can we do all new games on 1.2.1?

of course, we can also have PC-Users in the games as soon as we switch to 1.2.1 :?

I haven't upgraded to 1.2.1. Will that effect our current game?

I would like to start using the new version on all new games. I'm tired of booting up in OS 8.6 just to play a turn.

I, too, want to upgrade to 1.2.1. The only smacx game I am currently playing is in excelsis deo which is making slow progress. So, I will try to set up 1.2.1 before the Hive convention begins.

No. It is not possible to switch, save files are incompatible between 1.2 and 1.2.1 (there was a bug in 1.2 that has been fixed)

My question concerned the new games that are about to get started soon

I'm thinking of upgrading to the 1.2.1 patch, but I have a few questions;

If I upgrade to the 1.2.1 (SMAX I assume) will I still be able to play any current PBEM games that were started with 1.2 (ie. pbem SMAX #5)? (For some reason I seem to remember reading somewhere that it could be a problem...)

If not, how is everyone still maintaining those games, while starting new games with 1.2.1? (probably a dumb question—but bare with me)

Does the 1.2.1 patch solve the problems some were experiencing while using OS 9.1 (ie. colour issues if I remember correctly)?

Thanks.

You won't be able to play PBeM games started under 1.2. I've had to keep a copy of 1.2 around in order to play the PBeM games that I was in before the update came out. The 1.2.1 update fixes the OS 9.1 problems as far as I can tell.

Thanks Ash.

Where can I locate the patch to download?
