[Vhalor]

yes, my apologies. its fixed again with subversion Q

Nice. And not sure when that bug was introduced, but found the following randomly:

Table 339) 105: Major Regime Stories (409):
In row 2 "REGKEY.word + dth(1,00)" seems to be wrong, rolling a 00, instead of the usual 100.

And we got subversion R posted!

I have a question about one issue and I can't see it in any subversion.

Is there any difference between invading a major regime and using card "Major War"? From my game I see the outcome is the same.

Also, AI can easly change from "Friends" at 100 relation to "War" with 70 relation without Invasion or declaration of war in news. Maybe there is something hidden in game but It seems strange for me. Trade or Embassy doesn't make any difference.

[Vhalor]

Even 100 Relation Ally with Victory Pact can go to war and immediately request peace again. But that's caused by them attacking a protectorate. Bit offtopic though.

Vic, the latest patch (1.32b) still shows as 1.32a...after downloading & applying.

For the impatient:
If you simply change the version letter from a to b in the url, the most recent patch is instantly available

That is not it works; downloading the file from page 1 & changing the name of it still shows 1.31a in the game.
The link you posted has a '.dll' file which does not exist in any previous beta patch, nor is that file in the main directory.
What is this file...Newtonsoft.Json.dll that is in the patch you linked to; it is not in the patch on page 1?
Sorry, very suspicious.

Ofc. You have to update the page 1 link by changing the "132a" part to 132b, then download the correct file from Vics site.

File is from Vics own site and game screen looks like that ...


... so I would tentatively say it should be legit

Newtonsoft.Json.dll? No clue . Can only be clarified by Vic. Vic?

Thank you for your, quick, response. Still suspicious of that file; no need to use the latest beta until I feel comfortable about applying the download.
Thank you, again.
