Procedure to patch on PBW?

[Dogboy]

Thank you for your reply. Just to be sure I understand:

I should NOW set the host to v1.74 and v1.14b of the BM, and they should upload using the older version we've been using (SE5 v1.71 with Balance Mod v1.14a). The host will run despite the fact that it is a different version from what they used (???).

Then, in order to open the files, they need to upgrade to v1.74 and v1.14b of the BM.

Is that correct?? It seems strange that the newer version of the host won't choke on file created using an earlier version of the game. Am I misunderstanding? Sorry if I'm being overcautious: I just don't want to have a crash that interrupts the game...!

Thanks!
