Er... So where IS the Vista version?

I don't see it. I have the Steam version, which I downloaded again to try out the new Vista features. Nothing. So, where is it? Don't tell me we have to pay for the same game again.

Try reading the news thread more carefully.

And it isn't available as a patch yet.

First i've heard of this, and i see it has unique levels and more eye candy ?
Anyone got it yet, can maybe give some screenshots of how it looks... or a mini review ?

And is there going to be a patch ? I already bought the game but would love a bigger betterer version.

Sorry, NDA, hitm4n. I can neither confirm nor deny that there are new levels or eye candy. You will just have to wait until the Vista version is out.

NDA does not prevent us from saying things that are already publicly known:

Chris wrote:- Porting of the Darwinia graphics system from OpenGL to DirectX has enabled new and enhanced visual effects, for example, screen warping explosion effects, reflective water, and Darwinian soul 'auras'. We've really gone to town with pixel shader effects and the end result is the best looking version of Darwinia we've ever made.

- Support of the Xbox 360 controller. If you own a 360 controller just plug it into your PC's USB port and Darwinia will pick it up automatically.
- Support of the new Vista parental control system
- Three new Darwinia levels designed by Gary Chambers (Icepick) : Jailbreak, Stronghold and Doomsday
- Availability on both games explorer menu and Vista media centre
- Rich saved games option allowing you to launch Darwinia by double clicking the save game from windows explorer

If you are dyslexic, you are the first one I know who can't actually spell that word. Even so, that is no reason for not reading the news threads in order to find your answers.

Alas, dyslectic is in fact a synonym for dyslexic - but your point stands.
