The issues addressed in version 1.02 are:
- Updated entire winter season (no snow winter tiles) to address user concerns with color in winter.

GEX Europe 1.02 can be found from within the GEX Europe interface while the GEX North
America update is a bit more involved and installation varies on how your backup textures are set up.
We are installing everything right now and can't wait to test this out. Keep an eye out for a total update on all of our screen shots to reflect these new patches!
