Graphics/Scenario folders

Post by Erik2 »

For testing purposes I installed the public beta into a new folder (no previous installment).
I notice that most of my scenarios for some reason have both old and new scenario folders in the Graphics folder, see screenshot.
None of the folder names or equipment names match the scenario titles.
Won't this cause a 'wrong equipment' message?

Erik, this is per my email with you somewhile back. Your upgrades changed the .eqp files for those scenarios. The old folder for the old scenario file therefore has to be retained in case some player has a game in progress with the old scenario. (Note, players that don't have such games in progress can feel free to delete the old folders if they wish - but it doesn't hurt anything leaving them there.)

The version info on the folders allows the game code to link the correct folder to the version of the game being played. The version info is actually in the scenario name, just not displayed. Check for yourself to see if you get any "wrong equipment file" messages for any of them. I'm not.
