Attached you'll find a zip file with a hotfix for War in the East. This is only for those using the 1.08.09 Public Beta version. Unzip this into the Gary Grigsby's War in the East directory (this is just an exe update). Sorry for the inconvenience. The changes are:

Bug fixes
1. Fixed a bug where units could receive more replacements than asked for if there was a surplus of resources (all were used and dispatched to units).
2. Fixed a bug where units could retain more matched equipment than desired. They will now immediately return enough not to exceed 125% of TOE needs (this limit scales with MAX TOE down to 100% for MAX TOE set to 80% or less).
3. Fixed a bug where formation inventory was not displayed correctly if the list of units in the first tab was sorted.
4. Fixed a bug where self-propelled weapons, armored cars and self-propelled artillery were displayed in the infantry tab of formation inventory, even though they were included in the AFV totals.
5. Fixed a bug where an empty unit details window was displayed after closing Commander’s Report in some circumstances (only when using regular exit button).

Thanks for this speedy fix.

I assume this hotfix fixes the bug that sillyflower was mentioning in his current AAR (Death of Sillyflower, which is using 1.08.09 and which they just started)? Here is what sillyflower said about the bug...

'I fear that the .09 replacement bug will force a restart, as I have 3 pages' worth of units between 100-188% TOE.Several of these aren't isolated but can't escape, so I told Michael I'm happy to carry on if he lets them out'

This fixes that right?

I believe so.

Yes, it fixes the issue and extra elements will return to the pools for future use, provided they can do so.

Thank Joel and Pavel for publishing this that quick.

+1 riflebrigade: steam_api.dll ?

pls help those w/o "steam" version.

Interesting, that file should be there even in non-steam version IMHO.

I have same problem as I don't have steam version

I have the game installed via 1.0 WitE installer, two expansion installers and 1.08.08/09 patch installers. And I have this file in my game directory.

I don't think this file is super-secret, because it's part of public Steam API. Therefore I give you a link to download it: here. Put it in game directory if it is missing. Also make sure you run the game with admin rights.

I suggest you reinstall the game, because at one point this file was added to patch installers and should be there (I guess somewhere around 1.08.05).

Yes, thank you Joel, Pavel, and Morvael for all the loving this game is still getting

Game is using the same exe for all versions. It looks like you trying to run it not from the game folder.

This hotfix is not an installer, but just an exe which needs to be copied to the game folder manually.

I had no problem getting this file to download and work. I don't use steam.

I just want to confirm that its correct...Wite main screen...top left hand corner 1.08.09...bottom right version installed 1.08.09..execute
file version 1.08.10. Thanks[&o]
