(Changes since patch 1.01)

Patch Installer changes:

Engine changes:

1. Moved in-game multi-player messages few pixels down for better view.

2. Fixed a bug with land units' arrival time calculation on save/reload at the same game hour when the move order was given.

3. Fixed a bug in best port in area selection used for convoys.

4. Fixed a bug with country description text set in scenario files (replaced by default one on deselect/select of a country). Changed default scenario text format to 4 digit year instead of 2 (TAG_YYYY_DESC).

5. Added convoyed out resources/oil/supplies to daily resources flow statistics page.

6. Fixed tool-tip for atwar = TAG trigger.

7. Fixed a bug with naval units left in ex-allied ports when alliance is broken peacefully. Such fleets will be moved out of the port at 1 o'clock.

8. Fleets that has no valid naval base set will automatically rebase to the closest allied port now (checked once on 15 days). Fleets on Rebase, Move, Redeploy, Transport, Amphib. Assault or Sneak move missions are skipped.

9. Fixed issues with secederegion and secedearea commands. Now these commands behave as secedeprovince command does.

10. Added new options to secedeprovince, secedearea and secederegion commands (check event commands.txt for details).

NOTE: There are problems if spacebar is used as shortcut for button (impossible to use empty space in rename units/divisions for example).

14. Added new optional division/brigades models parameter: on_upgrade = yes/no(default). When set to “yes” current model’s upgrade_time_factor and upgrade_cost_factor modifiers will be used on upgrade to the next model instead those of the next model.

15. Fixed a bug with supply check for units (reported as supplied by own/allied capital even if the country has no supplies at all).

16. Fixed a bug with naval units supply check (reported as supplied as long as they have a valid naval base even if there are no supplies there).

18. Fixed a bug with supply check for units in combat supplied from own/allied capital (reported as supplied even if there are no supplies available).

19. Fixed a bug with oil usage of ships in ports (no oil consumed, always reported as having enough oil).

20. Fixed a bug with supply and oil usage and status update on units in combat.

21. Fixed a bug with convoyed out oil calculation (more oil then currently available at home can be convoyed out).

22. Tweaked convoy logic to not convoy out from home supplies or oil if these are required for troops at home.

23. Tweaked required supply convoy transports calculation logic to take into account available at home supplies/oil for transportation too (not just required at the destination).

24. Fixed a bug with supply convoys exporting more supplies then need at the destination in some rare cases (huge need of oil for example).
