Just a heads up really, though I know most have given up on this... the 1.1 patch is due out either late tonight or tomorrow.

Just a heads up that the 1.1 patch is about to come out - like tonight (Wednesday) PST or tomorrow morning (Thursday) PST.
We're planning to primarily release through CrosuS (click this text to go to the site) (http://www.isotx.com/index.php?view=3477) with torrents as well. CrosuS is similar to STEAM - here's a blurb from the site:
CrosuS is a complete game management system. It provides a central download and update mechanism for an ever-expanding list of games and mods, plus it displays a browsable list of games along with screenshots, descriptions, user ratings and comments to help you find new things to play. In addition to the download features, CrosuS also contains a built-in IRC chat client to help find other players to talk to, it contains a news notification system to keep you updated on Isotx or game developments, and we're planning to host some game tournaments through CrosuS.
Our vision for CrosuS is for it to become a community-driven tool. We allow users add mods to CrosuS themselves so that content appears quickly, and reflects what the gaming community want, we're working on a matchmaking system to help schedule games, and we're working on integrating more of these items into the Hive website.
Through CrosuS you'll be able to easily update your 1.0 version of Fortress Forever to 1.1 by only downloading the files that have changed (and all with the click of one button).
We'll also have a full 1.1 .zip file and a 1.0->1.1 incremental .zip file available via .torrent from the start.
I really like the idea of CrosuS, seems a very useful alternative to STEAM for update delivery, and really hope it works out well for the team.
