Installing the game

Note that from release 1.77 onwards two different release configurations are available for download: "deployment" which includes full optimisation and is most suitable for those just wanting to play the game, and "test" which includes additional debugging and development tools, and is intended for OXP development. If you are unsure, we recommend the "deployment release" - it is easy to convert it into a "test release" later.
