As before, please have a clean separate installation of the game with the comprehensive v1.23.00 Beta update, and then copy the v1.23.04 Beta EXE file into the game directory (it is the game executable and not an installer executable). The updated database data files are too large to include in the attachment; it really only changes the Swedish light fleet so just ignore that for now.

So this update mainly fixes the AI bugs we saw introduced with v1.23.03. Something else I am trying is compiling the game with no specified Windows version target like it was before with v1.22. I think specifying WinXP SP2 may have been causing some of the issues in this version. Two items of note. When I updated AI-AI battles from trivial combat to chits, I did not take care to retain trivial combat correctly. So that's fixed. I have also updated the AI land moves to improve performance somewhat. There is still room for improvement, but now I have a good base to work from.

Let us see how this version plays and I will continue to investigate problems with minor units and depots as they arise. Looking ahead, there are more AI improvements and 1812 scenario updates to work on. I'd like to get a stable version running so we can proceed to an official patch sometime next spring.

only alter anything here if you have any issues, as i recommend installing as admin, i don't need the run as admin clicked either as i'm a home user, if you use pro, you may need to install and run as admin, never used run as SP2 and never needed to either in windows 10 on any version of windows 10, which i have now used and installed 5, always a clean install, and not used it to upgrade from a previous windows version of any type, as then if there's any error's, you may take it across, a clean install always fixes everything!!!!

i also at 1920x1080 don't need to alter my DPI, even though i use a non standard high DPI in game as i use a large LED TV screen so like it looking better and have altered my DPI posted on the first post to suit, the game still scales to fit my DPI good.

game fully supports alt tabbing in and out when game is running or paused





so straight out of the box, with only my guide on how to run in windows 10 used, nvidia drivers installed as shown, and no alteration to the shortcut needed or used, with a non default DPI used and a default install, have done non default installs also using my second drive with the same outcome, so not an issue if you wish to install on any drive tbh, as long as it's local and always attached.

enjoy

I launched a new campaign with the new 1.23.04 patch as French and seems to work quite good after playing 1 year. But i found a bug in a battle, i lost a battme against austria and in the pursuit i could not remove enough losses because there were not enough strength points left in the corps. So clicking done was doing nothing and i had to reload the phase.
I created Kindom of Poland but Masovia have not been included in Poland and is still a conquered minor despite Poland been successfully created.

This was a pretty good catch for pursuit losses. There are checks for normal losses but pursuit losses are handled differently. I don't recall seeing this reported before but I can see how it possibly happened. So I added redundant checks when selecting losses that when available troops equal zero then losses to eliminate are zeroed.

For Kingdoms, only Kingdom of the Rhine and Poland are implemented in the game, and once you create the kingdom you cannot add additional provinces later. This has been a long-standing problem and maybe some day I will figure out how to add provinces as desired.
