[SUGGESTION TO DEVS] Could you replace "Full Beta" text in Stardock page with "0.75 Install", and "Beta Update" with "Latest Patch"?

I think that would be a simple way of reminding everyone that the base beta installation needs to be updated by the latest patch, without having to have people come to the forums to realise they are not running the latest version (and to also prevent people writing outdated bug reports and feedback).

Would you be able to do this?

I like the sentiment here. It could be easy for people to miss out on the latest patch if they didn't seek it out. Would it even be possible to put a notice within the game to notify people there's an update? Either upon double-clicking or on the main menu? That would also help pave the road for the future 1.0 release with patches after that.

Yes, that would be good too. Devs, why not do both? Then you have practically everyone getting the latest patch, and we would know when a new update happens. However, if a check for updates doesn't succeed in a full version of the game, just say something like "Cannot check for updates - could not connect to server" but still load up the game anyway, unlike the betas.
