Score posting patch
Update to address some connectivity issues when posting scores/ratings/etc.
Creeper World 3 is what happens when cellular automata takes over a strategy simulation. Instead of discrete units that attack your base, a fluid-like substance spreads over the terraformable terrain. Your base, your weapons, your strategy... you must adapt them all.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

2.01 has been released that addresses a few minor issues. For linux version, make 64bit version run on 64bit linux systems. Remove terraform terrain tagging when CRPL SetVoid call is made. Truncate long Colonial Space titles (on overview page). Fixed issue where resetting the story campaign would not restore shields on worlds. Fixed issue where mute button would not mute music at the start of a new mission. Fixed issue where doing an author: filter in CS on a name that has a space would not work.
