Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update #107 + Server Files

one question will there a full release of it or do you have to do incremental?

**Seigman** · 07-18-2007, 10:37 PM

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update #107 + Server Files

Full release only due to the sheer amount of things that have been changed over the last year or so... We'll be going for shorter release cycles which will have incremental patches aswell in the future.
