The first patch for Starshatter has been released. This new patch has several fixes, including:
The new update, version 4.01, includes 25 fixes and enhancements, including a new updated version of the built in Magic modeling software for mod-makers. Most important of the fixes are a resolution of a CD-key issue on some machines in the initial release and a fix for wingmen showing up as KIA on some campaign missions. On the new features side, there is now wide screen (1280 x 800) support and smooth scrolling side views in the cockpit camera mode.
You need to be a registered member of the Matrix Games site (which means the game itself also needs to be registered). To download the patch, head to the
Matrix Games Members Area. The patch is about 3-4 MB in size.
Update: There's been several reports of CTD (Crash to Desktop) errors encountered since downloading this new patch. I encountered one this evening. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
