New realXtend version 0.4 will be launched on December 2nd (12.00 GMT). We have some totally cool new features and content, like "Beneath the Waves" seaworld that will be our official demoworld from now on. Check the screenshots and come back for the download.

This looks like it will be a fun release! The seaworld screenshots are beautiful. I saw one a couple months ago being passed around but the new screenies are even better. Oh, and of course I blogged it.

It's already out, I'm downloading it right now. Seems they uploaded it prematurely

New Feature Add: Crashes on Startup. Directly on Start up. Do not See Splash screen go directly to desktop

I just did an advanced search on the forum, and am surprised to see that no one has apparently observed that RealXtend sounds more like a penis enlargement pill than a grid viewer.

Kristian · 12-01-2008, 05:23 PM

Still no Mac or Linux versions. And people bitch about the latest versions of the LL viewer not being supported on ancient wintel hardware...

Dancien Graves · 12-01-2008, 05:25 PM

Past two versions I have not been able to even start the program without it crashing

Macphisto Angelus · 12-01-2008, 06:10 PM

I just hope this one wont be a pain to do the simple stuff like make another user or network.

Dancien.. sounds like it is already a pain for you.

Well, it doesn't crash on load in when I use Crossover Games but it's been hanging for about 10 minutes now on a while screen.... I'll let it settle itself in in case it's doing something I don't see in the background.

I'm quite impressed with their feature list but has anyone made anything cool using those features yet?

Naturally I'm too lazy to look myself.
