Well it is more official than the game EXE itself that was on the site last night.

Yeah. Fyron and I made fake startmenu.bmp files so we could try 1.95 last night when it first appeared.

Well that was a scoop that no one got. Job well done CK.

If you made a copy of your gold directory to apply the big Deluxe patch then you'll have problems with the patch (i.e. incorrect version error). Just change your registry entry (under Strategy First, just use find) for Space Empires your proper Deluxe directory and you'll be fine.

Another caution:

The patch causes the mod launcher to bork when loading a mod (not a saved game) that has a pictures/game/dialog directory and no startmenu.bmp file. You can add the startmenu.bmp file to the specified folder to fix. Perhaps it would have been better if the start menu just included a mod launcher itself...

Ugh, dammit.

I'm gonna ask aaron if we can get a patch to undo all the pointless degrading startup crap that has been added.
Why the hell would we need a start menu or a series of pointless spash screens?

When we run the exe, we want the game to just start already, right everybody?
