    Use the Uber Launcher and it'll automatically update/patch the game.

    Option 1: Restart Steam
    * Open Steam
    * Click on Steam (top left) -> Exit (closing the window with the X doesn't actually exit steam).
    * Open Steam again
    Hopefully it'll start downloading

    Option 2: Verify Local Files
    * Open Steam
    * Go to Library
    * Right click on Planetary Annihilation -> Properties
    * Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache...
    It'll scan all the files and hopefully make it realize it needs to update

    Option 3: Change Steam Region
    * Open Steam
    * Click on Steam -> Settings
    * Downloads -> Download region, try another region
    The local region's server might not yet have the update for the game. Steam has a lot of content servers and it can take a while to distribute the update them all.

    Option 4: Wait a bit
    * Open Steam
    * Go to Library
    * Play something else for a bit
    Eventually Steam will realize it needs to update. Whenever you are running a game Steam won't look for or download updates for it. You might just need to leave it alone for a little bit.

    Option 5: Use the Planetary Annihilation Launcher
    * Download installer for launcher https://store.uberent.com/download/pasetup.exe
    * Run installer
    * Run game from launcher instead of using Steam
    Launcher will forcibly update the game each time it's run. This is a separate copy of the game from the Steam version, so it does mean you have the game installed in two locations. Graphics settings (and eventually keyboard bindings) will be shared between the two afaik. You will have to enter in your Ubernet user name and password (twice!) when using the launcher though, where as the Steam version remembers you once you've linked your account.
