Question about which to DL

So I just purchased TGEA and I have 4 downloads in my product area. Vers 1.7.0 - 1.7.1 - 1.8.0 - 1.8.1
Which should I use? I was thinking about using 1.8.1 but then I have to go through and do all the fixs to it and was wondering what everyone else used for a version.

1.8.1, most definitely. Especially if you aren't porting an existing project over to it(which it appears you are not). The fixes to 1.8.1 are not hard to do, its pretty much go to this line in this file and replace this block of code. However, you do not necessarily have to apply those fixes. 1.8.1 works very well out of the box.

Oh my, yeah. I installed 1.8.1 and my god! I was using TGE 1.5 for the lognest time and then tried out TGEA 1.8.1 and wow is it an upgrade. I like the layout of everything though it is taking some getting used to.

ya i had tgea installed but then i decided to look at tge as people said no one has posed the FPS Starter Kit but yet i see the very same thing in a tgea demo so it was a useless download. i also looked how tge is set up and i really don't like it tgea is way better on organization and much easier to use then tge. i don't see why no one wants to use it and ya download the tgea i have yet to have any major problems with it out of the box.
