Usual story.  A full patch and a smaller incremental one.  Traditionally, general opinion has been that incrementals can cause “issues”.  I’ve never had a problem myself, so if you can be bothered go for the full patch.

Lots of places to download from, but I plan to go straight to the source and get it here.

Here is the Changelog…

Needless to say, I’m REALLY looking forward to this game.

So it’s a rare & welcome pleasure when we pull one off against the masses and top the table so clearly!
