Steel Beasts Pro PE v2.328 Patch

2.328 Update:

This is a incremental patch - you need to have 2.304 installed before you install this.

This release started out as a emergency release to fix some problems with collisions, but many other things ended up being resolved as well. Special thanks goes out to all the testers and volunteers who took the time to test and give feedback on the 24 revisions since the last official one.

In order to run this version, you will need to install DirectX 9c, December 2006 Edition. If you have a older DirectX 9c install, it will not work.

-Fixed bug (Network sessions: Client owned vehicles did not get repaired. The timer will eventually expire for them, but whatever is broken will stay that way.)

-Fixed bug (Engineers would not mark breached lanes)

-Fixed bug (Consistent tree collapse in network sessions, irrespective of host or client ownership)

-Fixed bug (small rock clusters now require top speed collisions to cause serious damage)
