I'm continuing to investigate the crash some players are experiencing. this update hopefully reduces a super-bad Steam-locking crash to a mere regular-type crash >_> it also introduces some command-line arguments (or "launch options", as Steam calls them) that you probably don't care about, but will help me test some things with players who are having issues.
I figured I'd take the opportunity to ALSO fix up a little tractor beam issue, and add a new achievement, "Teamwork!! :D"
and that's it! it was a small update, and I very intentionally made sure NOT to ruin save game compatibility!
a full list of allllllllllll the (six) changes can be found here: http://mysteriousspace.com/changelog/0-8-x/
thanks for playing! :)
