Since the recent Steam update, many people have been unable to play the Dystopia Demo due to a series of bugs and errors. That’s all about to change, however- with the second Dystopia update now available for download!

awesome hopefully it works now, like it did before the update
 
It works niclely again, played it yesterday for about an hour with no crashes and smooth gameplay. The only problem is that there are still very few servers, as the original crash due to the Valve update caused a lot of serves to shut down.
 
Very cool, these guys are fast.

ya thats the thing that sucks really bad this mod had alot of power to stomp over some of valves source games mainly hl2dm but the last valve update mayve hampered that.
 
Yes, they are relatively fast on releasing patches. However, I think that it would have been better for Dystopia to get a second beta team, outside of the Dystopia community, to judge and test the mod. It probubly would have been better and found a lot more bugs, allowing them to release one demo without the need for updates.

The idea and concepts behind the modification are good, the game itself could have been held back for a bit more time to fine tune it.

It's certainly not Dystopia's fault that Valve keeps changing the code. I'm very impressed with how hard they are working to keep their mod going. Most developers would simply roll over and wait a week for Valve to fix things.

that's impossible since that team would have to know the future. They would have to know valve was going to release a patch that would screw up the mod. In any case I hope more servers will return now.

releasing it to strangers would 100% garantee that the content would get leaked.

And we don't want a great game like Dystopia to fall to that, do we?
 
I'm not saying anything bad about Dystopia, but I think they could of held back the demo a little bit later to look at these bugs. Tried a few different systems, checking, et cetera. I don't blame Dystopia for Valve's issues.
