Unfortunately no, previous games in progress are not compatible with the new Beta patch.

Nevermind.

- fixed a UNIT script error that was not having some unit events trigger when the AI was controlling friendly majors on your turn.
I have this happen when I play the Allies against the Axis computer, and I pick the computer to play Russia for me [Russian Unit Scripts that I put into the 653H Mod do not fire and therefore many Russian units do not arrive]. Can someone elaborate on what was changed for this fix so that I might try and fix it for me ?

Edit: Using v1.04, this is no longer an issue.

Is that with this updated game.exe?

Only I think this is a technical fix Hubert has done, so unless I'm mistaken it shouldn't happen with the latest game.exe.

[Hubert Cater]

Correct, this was indeed a technical fix where the applicable UNIT scripts were not being read properly by the game engine when the AI was controlling friendly majors on your turn. Just running a test on your custom campaign should do the trick to see if the fix is indeed working as expected on your end now without any further changes required.

One other item that may apply is we did expand in the UNIT script notes the following:

; #LEVEL= What minimum skill level, as selected from the AI difficulty level screen in game, will this event apply to?
; Values: [0, 4]; Green= 0; Novice= 1; Intermediate= 2; Veteran= 3; Expert= 4
; Value = -1 is used to specify a script that should only fire for AI friendly controlled majors on your turn

For AI controlled friendly majors the regular AI assigned scripts will not fire, only those that also have the #LEVEL= -1 will fire as this way there is more fine tuned control for UNIT events and especially bonus units.

Oops, I didn't specify that, this is from the old .exe.

Will do, have to finish the current 1.0 game first [it's too much fun to quit].

Hi everyone, tried to download the beta01 as explained here but:
- not found in members area
- second way to download impossible due to site unvailability. Now What? TY for quick reply the game is too much involving to give up

[ADMIRAL3]

Finally I found the file. Issue closed.

I had a lot of issues downloading it too. Seems to only work in MS browsers. I had it downloading in chrome, then canceled due to separate issue. When I went to download again, it would not work. Took over a minute to start downloading in Edge.
