In order to get Project Aftermath onto the D2D ‘Best of Indie’ bundle, I had to make a new build of the game. Unbeknown to me, between making the original version of 1.20 and this specific one, Microsoft had released a security update which changed the default version of the CRT runtimes that Visual Studio would link against. This essentially broke the installed version of PA if you didn’t happen to have this latest security update. Usually, I check every build on a completely fresh install of XP without the latest security fixes but I forgot to do that this time. I won’t be forgetting again

Anyway, the fix I used was one detailed in this blog (http://tedwvc.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/avoiding-problems-with-vc2005-sp1-security-update-kb971090/) which seemed to me to be the easiest way of going about it.

The game launcher should recognise that there is a new version available and offer to download it for you. If that doesn;t work for some reason then =you can download it directly from this link: (PA_Patch_1.21.exe)
