Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.1 is the latest patch available for the game and provides bug fixes.

All digital versions come with the patch pre-installed.

Moonbase Console

Moonbase Commander used to run off of GameSpy Arcade for Internet/LAN Play, but since the service has shut down, the game has been notoriously hard to configure to work through the LAN and Internet modes. The Moonbase Console rectifies many issues, including an easier matchmaking option for LAN/Internet games, as well as being able to make 100% custom maps not normally in the game.

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/254880/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (254880) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
