"PON 1.02 Patch candidate (public beta 1.01 serie M, updated Sept 07)
Hi everybody,

By popular demand, we are releasing the latest version of PON to everybody! Please note that this version is a "1.02 beta version" meaning that some bugs may remain, and some improvements are still on the radar.

It is safe to say though, that this Public Beta version will provide you an even better gaming experience than the current 1.01 version you are playing with.

Once all issues are fixed, and after the QA department has validated it, this beta patch (internally called 101 M) will be made official and will become version 1.02.


STEAM users can patch PON using this setup. You'll have either to make a separate copy of PON and apply the patch there, or be sure to not have Steam 'update' your game, as this would revert it to the last official version, which is 1.01

As a registered user, go to the Paradox Forum and register your game then go to the technical area and download the latest patch currently "M or Mike". If you have "pirated" this game, shame on you!

No, not at all! I am just warning all users that a legal version is 1000% better than a pirated version. Paradox and AGEOD should be commended for putting out great games and for going the extra distance to make many patches to fix the small bugs that crop up. Paradox and AGEOD seem to take extra good care of their loyal gaming community and other gaming studios should follow their example.
