Well, I just finished my first game with 1.1 beta 2, and it seemed very stable in comparison to the previous one.

If you are unsure at all about running the beta, then I would recommend you just download the latest 1.0x patch (don't try to just run the out-of-the-box version). The angry people you have seen just don't understand what a "beta" version is, so unless you are willing to accept some annoying crashes, and are prepared to send off debug files to Stardock to help them find the cause when it does happen, then stick with 1.0x.

Also, do make sure your drivers are up to date before installing it - it really does matter!

£17 is a bargain - enjoy!

Maybe not. The debug.err file is really helpful to spot outdated drivers.

No. You just need to search on the manufacturer site new drivers.
