WHY
IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THE LATEST BUILDS
What is a Build?
A Build, also referred to as a “Patch”, is a software update
that serves to improve the performance and stability of the
program. It is part of an ongoing software development process
aimed at producing error free software. A build does not
necessarily add new features to the program but will sometimes
only enhance the existing package.
If you
are running the latest version of the software, then all known
errors should be fixed. It is therefore important to have the
latest version of the software which may be downloaded from our
website at www.civildesigner.com installed. In addition to this,
it is also advisable to ensure that you have the latest driver
updates for your pc i.e. printer drivers and/or graphic card
drivers and that you have the latest updates of Windows
installed.
Should
a new bug be found in a current release, then a crash report
will be sent to the Support Division or the problem replicated
so that the accumulated bug fixes can be added to the build.
Having the latest software version installed therefore improves
the overall stability of the program.
