Well worth the download. Not least because if you don&#8217;t it&#8217;ll nag you to download forever.<\/p>\n<h4>Bugs Fixed<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: shipped 32bit MSVCR90.dll this time &#8211; whoops<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: powerups counters would show zeros when HUD hidden and shown<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: mines \/ barricades counters would shown 10 when should have shown 0 when HUD hidden and shown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Balance<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Made game easier overall &#8211; too many people getting stuck!<\/li>\n<li>Survival a little bit harder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>New Features and Enhancements<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Batteries no longer slow down reloading rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Internal<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Gidrahs recalculate their paths a little less enthusiastically<\/li>\n<li>Slight adjustment to spawn delays in Survival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With any luck, I&#8217;ve finally got to the bottom of the sound not working on a few of those Windows machines out there. Turns out I accidentally shipped a 64-bit dll in the last patch instead of the magic 32-bit one that would have fixed everything. Hm. I could in fact make a completely separate 64-bit version for Windows I suppose. Maybe that&#8217;ll confuse the great unwashed.<\/p>\n<h4>I Can Haz Done A Playthrough<\/h4>\n<p>Behold, a playthrough of levels 1-10 (15 minutes long). As you can see, I got my arse handed back to me on a plate, and not very gently either, on level 10, because I got a bit too cocky. But at least it shows the <em>fighting spirit<\/em> so lacking in today&#8217;s impetuous and lazy youth with their short attention spans and lack of investment in their own entertainment eh?

Not sure yet if the Steam cloud integration is going to work out properly for us or not yet &#8211; possibly in a patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, hot on the heels of v1.80.1 we already have Revenge of the Titans v1.80.2, which is really just a little bit of a tweak to address a couple of really annoying things that slipped past my bleary code-worn eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diary","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=802"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2447,"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802\/revisions\/2447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puppygames.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
