We are proud to announce that our long and hard work on this version has finally concluded and a release date has been set for Project Reality v0.9:



- Preload Project Reality v0.9 Now!
To further increase your excitement, you can preload the Project Reality v0.9 files now! This is the first PR release to feature a "passworded installer". This means, you can download the files now, but until we release the password, you can not install them. In other words, you can have the files downloaded and ready to go, so that when we officially release PR v0.9, you can instantly install it and jump straight into playing without delay! The password will be released automatically via the password page on Friday 5th February 2010, at 09:09:09.


You must download and install both "Part 1 of 2", and "Part 2 of 2" installers for Project Reality v0.9 to function. There is no patch included with this release due to the large amount of changes and newly added features. The installer will automatically uninstall any previous versions of Project Reality you may have.
