Dual core processor support?

1.69 download

Hi all Just discovered this game a couple of days ago, and, being an old BBC 'B' Elite addict, I started playing on Friday evening and before I knew it, it was approaching 6AM on Saturday!! Anyway, I thought I'd try to download version 1.69 to make use of the Galactic map route planner thing, but it...
