This beta patch will update the Mac OSX edition of Drox Operative to version 0.910. This patch adds more race/race interaction quests, makes quests easier to work with, improves the maps even more, added a bunch of advantages to weaker races, and fixes a bunch of other little things.


Mac

Download the Mac patch (will have a zip extension)
You might need to unzip the patch (by default OS X will do this automatically)
Run the patch installed by double clicking on it
Click continue
Select the volume where Drox Operative is installed
The patch will NOT automatically find where your Drox Operative is installed. It will default to /Applications. If this is not where it is, pick Choose Folder and find the Drox Operative folder
Click Continue and then Install
The next time you run the game make sure the version number at the bottom on the first menu matches the patch number you just installed
