Big question of the day:

If I update my version to 2.2.4 from 2.2RC1, would my savegames break, requiring me to restart my campaign for the guide walkthrough?

(as the only change I see of note to the SP campaign that would change the guide as-is is the AA homing, I'm not sure it would make much difference in all but 2 stages, but...)

Why were you using such a old version of the game anyway?

Yes it is; at least since 2.1, bugfix releases have been netcode-compatible.

Zarel, the MG-tower comes a bit later now, but I can research and build MG towers soon, no need to build up the command center!

Sometimes when a user joins, it comes without player number... and sometimes it joins but it does not shows on the players list... stuff like that... and mostly people joining and crash to desktop no warning, only closes.

That, and there's a little warning on the bottom of my screen that says "Enter Password" or something like that. Password? Where do I get one of those?

The change log does not show any changes to the net code.

The last few releases all had low quality vids.
Even on this page http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/g ... e2100.html it has low quality version.

Linux is but a small blip. Zarel, can you get stats from that apple link?
