SPM v. 0.7.15 is now available

Post by Nacho84 »

Hello all,

The latest update for SPM is now available. Just like all the updates we have been releasing since v. 0.7.9, the new update is available for you to download directly from the Matrix FTP: ftp://beta.matrixgames.com . When prompted, please specify the following username and password: SPMBetaTester/SpmBeta1114. I strongly recommend you to download the file using filezilla.

Inside the FTP you will find an installer file named SPM-Windows-Slitherine-0-7-15.exe, just download it and run it. Notice that you need to have your installation updated to at least SPM v. 0.7.8 first in order for it to work properly. If you didn't install any update from 0.7.9 onwards, don't worry, since 0.7.15 is a comprehensive patch and already includes all those changes, but please make sure you have updated to 0.7.8 first.

For those who prefer to install the update manually, we are also uploading a rar file in the FTP named SPM-Windows-Slitherine-0-7-15.rar. Just download it and overwrite your current installation with its contents, but please notice that you need to have your installation updated at least to SPM 0.7.8 first in order for it to work properly. Please refer to this link which features a step-by-step guide on how to perform the patching process.

This update includes bugfixes, some gameplay adjustments and, more importantly, support for 1366x768 resolution! [:)] Now you can run the game at either 1024x768 or 1366x768. Notice that we will generalize the solution in order to support higher 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions in a future update. You can see the full changelog here.

I will now "disappear" for a few weeks in order to get the mix-and-match gameplay mechanic in, which will require changes not only in the code but also to the asset files themselves. I'll still be monitoring the forums and post a few screenshots from time to time so that you can see the current progress, but getting this new feature in will take a while. In any case, feel free to keep reporting bugs and providing suggestions at the forums, we certainly take notes of all of them!

Cheers,

Very good, downloading now.
30 minuts of download, 30 sec of patching and now my widescreen is at full potential. It look awsome to play on the new screen settings of 1366x768 resolution! [:D]
Good job.
