To determine whether or not you need to patch, go to the Diagnostics screen off the main menu in Terminus. If your version number is less than the lastest patch number, you need to patch.

To patch a version of Terminus you bought in stores, use the Retail patches. To patch the Terminus Demo, use the Demo patches.

Use tar to extract the patching program. Run termpatch with the directory where you installed the game. For example:

./termpatch /usr/local/games/terminus

Notes: Version 1.6 includes extensive changes to multiplayer Terminus. For this reason, both servers and clients need to upgrade to 1.6. Also, several mission scripting errors were corrected. Terminus will no longer allow you to load a save game where a broken script is running. If you attempt to do so you will receive the following error message: "A script in this save game was found to contain an error."
