If you go to http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/ you can download the "test"
version of the next Patch. Be warned, it is still under development,
so there might be some bugs in it that have not yet been dealt with.
However, one of the BIG new features is that network play is now very
close to being stable. Games do crash occasionally (but much less
frequently than before), and when they do crash, you don't lose
everything - you can instead download a tool called SV2flip, which
re-synchronises the games on the two computers.
