We are pleased to announce we’ve added support for SEV version 1.33 to PBW. If you can download it now from http://www.spaceempires5.com/files/se5patch_v133.exe.

1.33 implements a lot of great fixes including a couple that will help with the turn processing on PBW. It should reduce the amount of time it takes turns to process, and it gets rid of the black screen that would take over the desktop when turns would process in previous version. This made it difficult to do anything on the server while turns were running.

Because of this we are doing something a little different than previous versions. With this one we are encouraging everyone to upgrade to the latest version as soon as is practical. The previous versions will still be supported for existing games, but game owners will no longer have the option to create a game with the stock versions prior to 1.33, or with the mod versions prior to 1.25. Game owners will also not be able to change their games to these obsolete versions. As soon as version 1.33 mods are available we will obsolete the 1.25 mod versions as well.

Your v1.03/1.04 copies will cry about missing entries in settings.txt when you load the mod - you can get around that by adding the new fields from the standard settings.txt to the mod's settings.txt - I believe they're just entries regarding UI element colours.
I did this and I can launch the game OK, but I get crashes to desktop and access violations if I click on a star or often any other features like storms etc.

If I start a new 'stock' game, this does not happen so I'm guessing there is some other setting buggered up somewhere between BM1.04 and the 1.33 patch.

Are you loading savegames or starting new games? I found updating the FQM portion of the Balance Mod from 6 to 7 buggered my savegames, and 7 to 8 apparently does the same thing.

Maybe Kwok should release this 1.05 under annother folder name so we don't have to upgrade PBW games to the new version of BM, but can still start new games.

I was starting new games. I am using an Empire file though if that makes any difference (although I cant really see how).

Is the demo ever going to be updated again? I'm hoping it is, I'd like to give the game another try.

I was thinking that perhaps PBW should install this as a separate version since it's a save-game breaker. I'm going to recommend that players do a clean install for their personal copies.

you're going to have to give it a different mod folder name though if we do that.
IIRC it's the folder that SEV looks for to see which data files to use.

We really needed to bug Aaron about having the possibility of using savegame folders in the mod folders that when a game was placed in them, it would override the save game's attachment to it's prior mod folder.

I wonder if it might be possible to make the exception to the rule and have v1.33 with BM v1.03 so current games of BM can update. If those versions are even compatable.
