» SunAge Patch / Demo in the works

Work has begun on the next SunAge patch and the long-awaited Demo! We wanted to get a few new features, balance changes and general improvements (and fixes!) implemented before we released a Demo and we are well on our way.

For all of you who have the game, come join us on the Forums! We will be discussing balance changes and improvements for the game as well as inviting a select few to participate in testing the patch before it is released.

This is just a quick update. However, whether you have SunAge or not, stop by the forum and give us a shout! Tell us how we can improve your SunAge experience.

Finally, please note that the TCP/IP ports used by SunAge for multiplayer sessions have changed. If you are behind a firewall or router, in order to host SunAge games you need to open TCP port 27960 and UDP port 32331 first. After you have done that, your game sessions should become visible to other players.

» First Official SunAge Patch v1.05 Released!

We are happy to announce that the first SunAge patch has been released! We have already begun progress on a big hotfix which will include a large number of minor improvements and fixes including some large improvements to the multiplayer server, thanks for the feedback guys!

The patch adds several new enhancements and bugfixes, upgrading the game to version 1.05 and is intended for the English and Italian boxed versions of the game.

For those of you with Direct download versions, you already have v1.05 which means you DON'T NEED THIS PATCH! Please don't try to patch it anyway. :)
