European 1.44 Patch is out now

Hi Folks,
I received this this morning from Empire Interactive:

Euro Patch Space Empire V Retail Version only
13.93MB (10-Aug-2007 08:27) Patches

Patch link: http://snipurl.com/1pfci

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please read all of the information shown below before you use any updates with your Space Empire V software.
This update is for customers who have the retail version ( CD in Box )of the game only. DO NOT use this update if you have the Steam version of the game. Steam provide updates for all their games through their game update process.

Space Empires V Patch V1.44

There were two versions of Space Empires V released in Europe.
Please read the information below before you update your game.

If you have the English language only version of the game (retail v1.20) then please download the US patch from:
http://www.malfador.com/se5patch.html

If you have the version containing English, French and German languages
(retail v1.30 or v1.33) then please download the Euro patch from this website link: http://snipurl.com/1pfci

If you are unsure about which version you have then,

1) Download the Euro patch from this website.

2) If you get a message saying that Space Empires V is not installed, then download and install the US patch from: http://www.malfador.com/se5patch.html

Note: the patch will only recognise and update the version of the game it was designed for. You will not be able to update your version with the wrong patch.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Internet play in Space Empires V does not support cross language play
(i.e. a mixture of game languages in the same game). Some parts of the game for the clients will appear in the Host's language. Playing a game where all players are using the same game language is fine. This is an issue that cannot be fixed and will not appear in any future patch.

You can raise any issues that you have regarding the updates contained in the patch at the Developers Website http://www.malfador.com/ or send an
email to

Hope this helps Spuda
