This is awesome news. I think many folks here on func underestimate how difficult it is for newbs to run the game. Thanks MaxEd.

Demos

Most of my demos show up as red and "unsupported" however they do play back for the most part.

I love the addition of the shortcuts... very nice touch.

As Before, Great!

Should be fixed now. Please update to SQL 2.1.

If there are still demos, which are displayed with "Unknown demo format" title, please post a link to them.
