No. V1.5 is all you need now. You can safely update any previous version. Make sure you have not added any modified files to the game before you update! I'm reading conflicting messages about a V1.497 patch, what is this? V1.497 is an older patch used for over a decade to be able to play online. Because this is such an ancient version, there will be older posts and guides online that are not being update anymore and will forever point to an older version of the game. If you find any, tell us so we can see if we can edit it or find the original author! Which version of the game should I get? Steam? GOG? CD? It doesn't matter which version you use. All Giants versions can safely be updated to V1.5 Are there any mods/modding attempts for the game? Yes and no. Some community members are able to mod specific aspects of the game to create a different experience of the game, like an AI boss or Instakill gamemodes. To change any of the core game mechanics, you would need the sourcode, the experience and the tools to work with it. Aside from a few people being able to create patches they cannot share these tools because of copyright protection. Giants is not abandonwar e. The servers are empty, where are all the players? Don't expect the servers to be full 24/7 in a game this old! It is normal for them to be empty; here you have to announce that you want to play and gather other players. Nobody is going to sit and wait on the servers for someone to join. Getting people to play with you requires a pro-active stance and some effort from your side.
