Essential improvements
Patches
- Last patch for retail versions is 0.2.0.8 (which also updates StarForce DRM to version 4.50.7.3)
- Launcher's updater now points directly to the Forever upgrade, which is an entirely separate installation and doesn't actually alter the original game. This means that the final 0.2.1.0 update is lost.
