This beta patch will update the Windows PC edition of Drox Operative to version 0.907. This patch gives the player more information about the internals of the races, fixes an end game issue, greatly increases the rewards of destroying race ships and planets, and fixes a lot of other little things.


Patch Instructions

Windows

Download the Windows patch (will have an exe extension)
Run the patch executable by double clicking on it
