I was smart, and wanted to wait to buy. I'm cool that way, praise me. =)

I do that with every game pretty much though, price drop too.
And pre-order!? EWW!

I'm just an evil critic, leave meh alone!

A "toolset hotfix" for has been released. This brings the version number from 1.04 (860) to 1.04 (870) but it doesn't include a new readme file so it's anyones guess what issues this fixes.

Judging by the number of files with names like "memorymng.dll" I would guess that it's some kind of memory leak fix.
