The only public version is the one you've found in the download section.

There were numerous code improvements, a few new options in the performance section of Giants.ini, fixes for a couple of bugs (including the invulnerable companion Meccs in single player), and I'd also added an option to play music in multiplayer games.

I never really finished work on it, though. Releasing it would most likely have broken compatibility with servers running older versions of GiantsHook (due to the cheat protection), and there were fewer and fewer people playing as it was.

But it is possible to release it ? if it's better the people will upgrade to 1.30

I think Giantshook will be essentially obsolete when it comes out, although GRM might have to be re-released to work fully with 1.5

So it could be an improved version or have to incorporate more things.

As Vort said, GiantsHook will be made obsolete by patch 1.5 and there will be no need to continue work on it. GRM will not be compatible with it either initially, but will be updated at a later date.

I wouldn't upgrade to 1.5 if the graphics of the game have to become worst.

Then don't. Some of us are more concerned with having a more enjoyable, bug free multiplayer experience than having kewl graphics right away.

I rater play singleplayer. I'm playing this game since it came out, and played some multiplayer games, but my ping was always high so couldn't enjoy those matches. So now i only play SP levels.
