This one is a very small maintenance release that fixes two bugs -- the more serious of which that falling very far in water could be death.  We didn't want people to have to work around that for very long!

It also includes a great new battlefield music track for the battlefield missions, though, as a bonus.

More to come soon.  Enjoy!

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 0.500 or later. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time.  If you don't have 0.500 or later, you can download that here.

Game isn't auto-updating again  can I just manually update straight from 567 to 569 or must I update to 568 first?
Edit: Nevermind I took the safe route of downloading + installing .568 first.

I've never had problems downloading updates. Weird... Could it be OS-dependant? Running Vista here.

I think it's to do with me being in the UK and Amazon's servers being strange.

Definitely glad you took the safe route, it wouldn't have worked otherwise!  Every release that stays in the list must be installed in the proper sequence for it to work.  However, we remove old releases from the xml file when they are made completely obsolete by newer releases (which we try to do as much as possible, to keep the total number of files to download lower -- but any release that has a lot of content files tends to stick around permanently).

I did get cyberduck downgraded, but it hasn't seemed to help with the S3 issue.  I may need to downgrade one version further (I wasn't certain what version I was on, previously), and hopefully that will stop the issue.  Either that, or Amazon themselves are having some sort of issue.

Is it just me or are the visited chunks on the outdoors map a lot dimmer in general, than they used to be?

[x4000]

The visited ones should be 10% brighter -- that does make them less saturated, but definitely not dimmer.  The unvisited ones are 10% darker.
