After finding an egregious game balance bug in 3.6.16, we are happy to release 3.6.18 Final based on revision 9546. Hope it's a bit more usable this time!
Previous 3.6.16 Release ThreadImportant!!As always, you need OpenAL installed. Linux and OS X come with it but Windows users will need to get Creative's
OpenAL installer.
Important!!Also, since the internal code linking for TrackIR was revised, an external DLL is now required for FSO to use TrackIR functions.
The following DLL is simply unpacked in to you main FreeSpace2 root dir.
TrackIR is only supported on Windows.
