SPM v.1.1.0 is now available

This forum supports the Early Access Program for the PC for Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager (SPM). iOS, Android and Mac releases are still in development. SPM is the ultimate game of space exploration. It is the mid 1950s and the race for dominance between the US and the Soviet Union is about to move into a new dimension: space. Take charge of the US or Soviet space agencies - your duty is be the first to the moon. Carefully manage your budget by opening programs, spending R&D funds on improving the hardware, recruiting personnel and astronauts and launching space missions in this realistic turn based strategy game.

SPM v.1.1.0 is now available

Post by Nacho84 »

Hello all,

The latest update for SPM is now available! Please grab it using the auto-updater tool from the game launcher. If that fails, you can grab the patch manually from here.

This update includes support for multiple resolutions (4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10), localised texts for German and French and several UI improvements, such as tooltips and in-game help messages.

Hope you like it!

Cheers,

I know this is little help, but mine updated just fine. I did get a Windows Defender warning about the matrix site, which I rarely get, but the update worked fine.

Hello Jorge,

Unfortunately all I can suggest is to try again, really. If it keeps failing, please grab the installer from this link and run it manually.

And with a total of 90 secs with the update - THANK YOU! the tooltips are very handy. I really like the tips when you look at the planets in the Mission screen that tell you which programs are active and which are available. I've been playing in a window on widescreen monitor, and appreciate the new options.

Hello all,

Very happy to hear you like the changes. I got an e-mail from Iain with a few more suggestions, so we're going to do another update featuring them, along with the failure messages for the missions.

lol, it is critical ? i see no problem when i can find it on forum :). You know, not every page which is selling game is used by same company, so it is updated by different ppl on different times by different companys :).

Yes, but a site dedicated to a single game should be up to date, and specific!
Otherwise the page a corpse.

But no, it is not critical.

The patch only went live at 7pm Friday evening after the Italian (marketing) office was shut. They will get it updated as soon as they can.

You can safely load your old savegames, yes! [:)]
