Default Re: Scenario Conflict with Version 2.0

We noticed this before the patch was released and it's interconnected to one or more or a combination of,the changes we made in item 37) (Changes made to "Carry capacity" and "Carry cost" did not stick when changed in the editor.) and item 41) ( There was a bug that was preventing units from clearing mines after a save )and item 47)( A Bug where player 2 in a scenario could see player 1's troops during the pre game bombardment, if player one was the AI fixed.). We *suspect* one or all of these changes that end up in the DAT file are unreadable to earlier versions. It's not an option to remove the changes

Scenarios made with WinSPMBT are not 100% compatable with the old DOS version either due in main part to the terrain changes. The changes we make are intended to advance the game and be compatible with pre-existing scenarios. That's our main objective. It's quite conceivable that if we continue to develop this game over the years that scenarios made with " version 4.5 " won't work in a ver 2.0 copy of the game but the ver 2.0 scenarios will work in ver 4.5. However, we expect anyone with the game will want the most advanced version of it and that's the bottom line in this case. We don't support older versions of the game. We simply cannot. There isn't enough hours in the day sometimes as it stands now. If a version 2.0 scenario does not work in version 1.0 then the patch needs to be applied to bring the game up to ver 2.0 standards to play the scenario
