Yet another patch to the demo (v1.05). This one is a major update. The incremental patch files were getting too big, so we decided to release a major update so that the incremental patches will become much smaller again. The major update is 140 MB. You can either let clones auto-update itself, or simply download the 1.05 installer.

Here is a list of relevant changes that affect the demo:
-Upgraded video codec - fixed video crash bug
-Added tooltip to stats widgets
-Indicate pause state in gui
-Fixed spectator mode problems in multiplayer
-Allow hold morph key & select to issue morph
-Clonemaster ribbon now says how many level to unlock
-Implemented level cache to speed up loading
-Restart multiplayer level if no players at end of match

From a gameplay point of view, a notable change is the ability to give morph commands when selecting a clone. This allows one to quickly give the same morph to many clones in succession. Simply hold down the morph key, then select away!

Please report any crashes as we want this game to be as stable as possible!

Thanks.

Version 1.11 of the demo has been released. This is mostly a bug fix release for the demo addressing some stability issues. We also fixed a bug related to checksum errors that were occurring when the level started or ended.

Please update to latest version and report any problems. Currently there are no known issues with v1.11 so if no more further issues are reported, then we will make a more formal announcement about it's availability.

Version 1.13 of the demo has been released. Fixed some crash bugs, and hopefully made the connection establishment a bit better. Please download and report any bugs!

Thanks!

I tried, but mosty I loose, hehe.

Sometimes I had problems and the game crashed. E.g. if I played beach level and then try to choose another level. Then PC crashed without a special systemmessage on Windows 7.

Sorry for my bad english.
