The file is not editable.
So you have the date of 31 May 2017 on the info file, and it is above database 467?

I just tried to update by Don scenario and it showed the correct DB. I am using the Matrix version, not Steam.
Tried Steam and it also behaves correctly. Not sure why you can't upgrade if all the files are in place

Thank you!!!!!!!! [&o][&o][&o]

Figured it out.

I have the Steam version.

When the game says "latest version" it really mean latest version, as in download date and time. After this clean install, the "latest" one was DB 391 (Steam downloaded that file last). So I deleted both DB3K_467.db3 and CWDB_467.db3 and then validated my files via Steam Validation mechanism. It acquired both files and now the game uses DB 467 as the latest database.

I kept thinking that "latest" meant "highest number".

Maybe the devs could update the system so that the game looks for "latest name", or update the installation process for Steam so that it installs the DBs in the right order.

Thank you everyone for helping me out in this. You guys are great [:D][:D][:D]

I'm still not sure why, when doing a clean install, your dbs were messed up.
