Steam users: We suggest that you opt out of the public beta group again in order to avoid automatic installation of the next public beta.

Update Info for our webstore customers: If you already installed the public beta, there is no need to install this patch again. To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:
