MAIN CHANGES
Sorry about the long delay until this update. Over the past month we haven’t been able to devote nearly as much time to CIU development as we would like because… life.
Main changes in this update are a complete reworking of medals (your medals have been regrettably reset) and the addition of the Comet Chase missions. There are two special medals that can’t be gained via normal means: one is for suggesting content, and the other is for reporting bugs. Instructions about these two are coming tomorrow.
The game now also supports Windows XP, if that’s how you roll.
COMPATIBILITY
This update is mostly backwards-compatible, but you will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- any menu options you have configured
- all medals have been reset
CHANGELOG
