Here is a new TEST PATCH : 0.6B8

You can read about why this update was needed in the main forum thread :
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=80675

0.6B8 is NOT compatible with version 0.6B
0.6B8 CAN play replays from version 0.6B


You cannot upload hotlaps made with 0.6B8 because it is a test patch.

Please keep a backup of your LFS.exe from 0.6B so you can easily go back if there are any problems.
