If this is applied to your regular SE4 folder how will it effect your seperate PBW game/mod folders...?

Mods will not be affected. As with any other patch, you should not play turns with 1.94 until the host upglades the game. It is best to maintain 2 separate copies of SE4, one on 1.91 and one on 1.94, until all of your games are upgraded.

I just did some testing, and Gold 1.91 and Deluxe 1.94 appear to be fully compatible with each other. I started a game in 1.91, played the turn in 1.94, copied the plr file back to the 1.91 folder and executed the turn with 1.91, and it worked just fine. I can't guarantee nothing in Deluxe would cause problems in Gold, but I think it's a fairly safe bet that playing existing PBW games with 1.94 even before they're upgraded on PBW won't cause any problems.

That jives with what I'm seeing as well. And from looking at the history file it makes sense. Other than the music and intro screens it appears the only difference was he fixed a couple of rare RCE errors.

I would still advise against it. There have been undocumented changes before. Better safe than sorry, I think. PBW games shouldn't take that long to upgrade to Deluxe anyways.
