Download Current Version 3.2.1 Unzip to install. Don't unzip as Administrator if you're planning on running it as a normal user later or you won't be able to use the automatic update. I'll post schemas for Rome II betas in this place, but there's none on right now. There is an autoupdate under the Help menu; if it doesn't work for some reason, - all software releases always available here. - newest (and older) DB schemas here. As usual: if you any issues, let us know. To get started with modding in general, here's my Warscape Modding Primer. Also, join the PFM Steam user group. I'll try and put up update notifications there. Release 3.2 notes I just finally uploaded the new PFM version 3.2. This contains some pretty massive under-the-hood changes which you shouldn't even realized happened. It makes the whole schema handling a lot smoother by only reading a single schema file (master_schema.xml) for all WS games and only maintains the maximum version per game/table to be able to paint the yellow tree node for tables in need of an update. It also should make updates more reliable by not "guessing" that columns at the end of the table will be new, but bases its update on column names. I did also introduce a new feature that you can now also subscribe to beta schema versions, so no more need for manual downloading those. The bad news is that this makes schema file updates useless for previous releases, so you pretty much need to update to 3.2 if you want to continue receiving schema updates for later patches. I also worked on the gamedir.txt problems people were having, with the AssemblyKit installation creating an empty Rome install at C: which PFM erroneously always took for the proper install location.
