New OOTP 18 Update (Version 18.5.54) Available Now!

[Markus Heinsohn]

Important: This update is only for OOTP 18 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version.
It is NOT compatible with the Steam or Mac OSX AppStore version! The Steam update is available via the Steam client and the Mac AppStore version is pending review at Apple, which will take some more days.

Info: We released build 18.5.53 earlier today, which had an issue with the challenge mode server login. This new build #54 fixes this.
