Damn authorization.

No launcher update this time? So a full reinstall I guess?

Not a full reinstall, but a patch to be applied ontop of 5.1, it's only a 20mb download.

I didn't make it a launcher update as the launcher has has some significant updates in this patch, hence the need to download via Moddb.

Mitch, might I ask you to have a look at the bug report thread for v5.1? I someone of you guys could spare it a comment, that'd be great.

If you are refering to the money bug where you get billions then go bankrupt we tried to fix that in this update.

Info: It was due to the value of trade goods skyrocketing and earning the player billions. When the value exceeded 2 trillion the players money was reset as the that exceeds the max value NTW can hold for the player in its treasury. Hence the loop of billionaire to bankrupt.
The fix we have gone for is not ideal, but its a great improvement while we look for the actual cause of the trade inflation.

Well, not only that but thanks for the heads up. People seem to have different problems which I am not qualified to summarize sufficiently here, hence my request that you guys have a look and may be clarify whether some issues have been fixed with v5.2 or whether you've been aware of these issues already...

I just got a bug i finaly got to build my first tanks, 5 of them send them out to kill a tiny unit as an test, i win easily and pumped as a kid because they were so EPIC. But then when i get the statistic i lost my whole Tank division Oh well trying a new type now, I can't remember the Name but i got a picture of it. I will find it and post it soon.

[togtja]

Found Them Pictures

[togtja]

ops I will tell you the name since the quality is low A7V Male Tank 4 of them not five and two units incase of a big failure with the tanks

[The Hedge Knight]

That bug was fixed this update as far as I know. Please use the bug report thread in future to report bugs.

still waiting authorization -_- hopefully the full install thing fixes my problems

[ahawkTW]

noob here. Where do I extract the file to?

[ahawkTW]

How to install?

[ahawkTW]

sorry figured it out. Disregard my previous comments. HOWEVER, while the launcher says it's running 5.1.2, the multiplayer still has the same problem and the building crash fix still crashes :/

[OmegaBolt]

Sadly I'm getting the error people are talking about on ModDB, none of the files can actually be extracted (with WinRAR at least). I've tried downloading twice.

[mir.co]

I think it's 7-zip not WinRar compression

[.Mitch.]

Hey guys, I used a compression only able to be unzipped by 7zip, not winZip.

As such I have removed and reuploaded the patch, and fixed a small bug in the process, I suggest you all redownload! (When its authed again)

Sorry for the mix up!

[AzureNight]

Will teh tanks/bunker disappearing in campaigns after battles be fixed? How about Serbian rebels spawning in Italy and generic rebels spawning in Serbia? Russian MG's causing CTD?

[IGdood]

Save game compatible?
