Hi all,

Thank you for testing the new beta for A World Divided. Based on your feedback, attached please find a new hotfix (unzip to your installation folder to overwrite your existing game executable file). This hotfix requires that you already be updated to the 1.051 Beta.

- Fixed error in save file version info that was causing valid Server files to be rejected
- Fixed error in Non-server games that was affecting filename lengths and preventing saves
- Added support for new 4 player game with Russia/China as a faction and no AI player.
- The error with ‘missing supplies’ was a side effect of the non-server bug, the game was being reset to a default condition.
-Fixed scroll bar positioning

Thank you Erik, I will test it tomorrow.

I updated the attachment in the first post to include the readme files that were unintentionally excluded from the first upload. The game version and executable remains the same.

Hi Erik

I played my pbem turn, started under version 1.050, with v1.052 and so far everything was fine. The turn was sent to my opponent and I have asked him to play it with the new version. Hopefully everything will be all right. Will get back to you with the result.

Is the incompatibility from previous versions only for saves against the AI?

I like the addition of sending short messages [8D]

Got the turn back from my opponent and so far everything keeps running smooth.

When I writing a message if the sentence is too long you stop seeing what you're writing. Could this be fixed?

In the read me file you should add that messages are displayed by clicking on the info button before or after the turn.

Or is there a way to view them while playing the turn?

Karl said that he'll look into the issue re not being able to see the messages are are too long. It's an old engine and may not be able to be fixed. There is no way to view them while in the turn, so yes that's a good idea to add it to the readme. Any news on how your game is going?

Hi Joel, the game keeps running smooth.

Could Karlis look at this old issue, if you minimize the screen while playing in window mode and return after a while the screen goes black and you can't keep playing. Same thing happens if in full screen when alt-tabbing.

Was the old bug of rebasing ships from port to port fixed? You could move ships from the West coast of the US all the way to the Med if you had enough bases in between.

I will ask him re the black screen, but don't expect he can fix it.

As for the rebasing, I don't know if there was ever a change. We're not in a position to change anything now. Jesse might know if it was fixed.

Glad to hear the game is still going well.

After reading about the latest upgrade to 1.052 I decided to load the game from my members area but the installation process says my serial number is invalid. The one in my members area is correct but installation doesn't recognize it. any suggestions?

I would contact Matrix/Slitherine Support. Open a ticket. They will eventually fix it.

I did. No resolution so far.

Fixing the AI would be nice, The US AI doesn't like to invade Europe. Also Russia doesn't counter attack like it should.
