Known Bugs:
(click to show/hide)
Unfortunately, the next official release of MegaGlest may be several months away so I've made the decision to release on the more dated 3.6.0.3, with plans to update to next version when available. So some new features like save games, & Gamma (Brightness) settings will be unavailable.
There is also a noticeable bug that hinders scorpion tanks form transforming unless the player has double the cost of the unit, this is fixed in MG svn. Also sue to issues with CRC calculation on 3.6.0.3 I decided to cut mods menu out again. Once annex upgrades to next MG release I will try to place back mods menu.
Headless Server needs updating, will be updated and active shortly.Headless updated!
