eSim Games Releases Update 2.273 for Steel Beasts Pro PE
Mountain View, CA, June 22, 2006
Software developer eSim Games, LLC announced today that the second (free) update for the Personal Edition of Steel
Beasts Professional is now available for download.
"It will address a few bugs that were identified over the past six weeks", said Director of Customer Service Nils
Hinrichsen. "We're happy to offer a fix to some issues that were found annoying and inaccurate, especially the infamous
overly accurate RPG shots. Worth pointing out is that this is an incremental patch that requires an installed version
2.262. Our latest shipments already install this, but customers from before May will need to apply the upgrade from
version 2.251 first."
