Hotfix Available

Because building a patch, installer and uploading it to all the required places takes time we won't be able to complete the official first patch until next week. In the meantime we've decided to release another hotfix:
Download here
Be aware however that we haven't had much time testing this, so if you install it now consider yourself a hotfix beta-tester

If there are any issues with it report them on the forums so we can be sure to address them in next week's official patch.
The changes list of this hotfix:
- Experience formula tweaked: Experience gain is much quicker now (perhaps too quick?)
- Coral Sea (Japan) and Midway (USA) victory requirements fixed: You now get a victory on the final turn if you managed to force the enemy to retreat.
- Dutch Overvalswagen fixed: This used to cause significant framerate drops on the Java map
- Dutch Landstorm and Sherman Jumbo stats fixed (more unit tweaks will follow in patch)
- Modding support: The game will open with a mod launcher if there are any mods installed.
- AI freeze fixes
- Switch between torpedo & bombs issue fixed
Note: The announced "hex selection" and "city names" are not yet part of this hotfix.

Any difference between this and one recently made available in the beta forum?

If you have a Slitherine version installed it will automatically insert the file path to that, but you can manually point to the steam folder instead. If you have Steam only installed it will point to the default steam folder.

Some more fixes were included yes.

Yes, we didn't update the version number since last hotfix since it's still a "placeholder" update.

So is this hotfix cumulative...do I have the previous hotfix even if I didn't download it separately? How do I know I've got the most current patched version?

It doesn't require the previous hotfix.

I like the professional German translation. Most other war games have a lot of spelling errors.
Maybe you can fix the message text for the new option for disabling the spinning animation? It's not a big thing but it is in a central place.
now: Deaktiviere KI Drehanimation
correct: Deaktiviere KI-Drehanimation
It's the same as «KI-Animation» in the gameplay tab. Only «Dreh» is added which means «spinning». In German every noun is only one written word without any spaces.
By the way: Thank you for the great support and all your patience and answers in this and other forums!

Can you go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Order of Battle Pacific\Order of Battle - Pacific_Data\Resources\Data", open units.txt and search for "[Braat_Overvalwagen_APC]".
If the patch is applied correctly, there should be a line "weaponEffect = Vickers303" in this unit's text block.
