The patch is at the moment just a beta patch in a zip file - so there's no updated manual. But I would expect this in the final patch - judging by the number of people who have noticed this, they must've put it on the list [:)]

Yes, we are going to include a fixed for-print manual in the official update. I can't give you an ETA just yet, but it will be soon.

There was a "printable" manual posted somewhere a while ago. But really it was just a version of the regular manual ready for professional printing (guide/cutting lines).

So in my opinion it wasn't really printable - a printable manual would just remove the fancy background from the pages, making it look much better when printing (and saving ink).

The saving ink is what I'm after.
There's still a file called "Operational Art of War manual TO PRINT.pdf" in the steam folder, the same as in the original Matrix install folder & it's still as useless as the original install. This leads me to conclusion that "soon to be fixed" comment above (12/1/2017) is in error.

No one that knows has anything to say, huh?
OK, I guess I know when to give in. Didn't seem that hard a question, though, and it was mentioned that it would be fixed.
