It addresses a number of issues that have been causing problems.

Download the zip and run the installer.

It will create a directory Beta2 off the main AE install directory, install the updated EXE and DLL, and create a shortcut on desktop to run AE from that new directory.
Note that only the basic options are used with the shortcut. Copy the shortcut and add your preferred options to the command line such as screen size.

This does NOT affect the normal EXE and DLL in the main install directory. You can still use your normal shortcuts to run the official version of the program.

This is being done solely on my responsibility and outside the normal Matrix process. So please beware of the risk if you wish to update and use in existing PBEM games. Save files under this version wont load in earlier game EXE versions, but old saves are compatible with this version.

If your Tracker experiences problems reading new saves, try copying over the DLL from the Beta2 directory to the Tracker install directory(ies).

hey,
awesome work you did , but i have a problem,
when adding '-f -px1920 –py1280" command in the quickstart shortcut properties, it renders the game fullscreen, but the graphics are incorrect and the game is unplayable. after loading the game, the game menu "floats" above the map.
ever had this problem?
TNX in advance for your response.
grts,

Niko

Just DL the file and do a regular install with it. The files will go where they belong....GP

So if I hear Tokyo Rose, that means it´s installed correctly?

BBfanboy wrote: Thu Dec 14, 2023 8:46 pm Tokyo Rose wouldn't let the game designers use her name copyright, so they call her "Orphan Anne" to call up a name that Americans would be familiar with but avoiding Annie which would put them in copyright infringement! Whatever you call her, she's just as irritating as the original!
