Wrt stand alone version, patching to 2.06/2.07 may break the game.
Best as I've been able to figure out, is that's it's something to
do with .NET 2.0 SP2 and/or the fact crossover/wine does not yet
support SP2 ; until that changes, you may have to stay away from
the newer patches -- always back up your Eufloria bottle before
applying any new patches.
Update: this has been pretty much fixed in crossover-11, as the
winecore now supports .NET 2.0 service packs 1 & 2 -- I've played
through both the normal & DM modes of the game, and solved all but
one of the custom levels included ; in that regard, the custom level
'Infinity' .. which is nigh on impossible in my mind, can throw a
.NET error when you fail miserably and the whole universe flies apart
and starts swirling about... game locks up pretty hard when this
happens, and you have to force quit the bottle to clear it...(the
level is, I think, beatable ; it would be a -very- long game tho' ;)..
Update 2: ..yay, I beat Infinity level, but it still crashes when
you win - apparently, this level does that same thing for more than
a few windows users as well, so it may just be a bug in the level itself..
