Smolensk '41 Gold

[Strela]

Gents:  

These QA issues make me hesitate to download / install additional "Gold" versions. 

My JTS / HPS PzC and MS games use the Jison mods.

Will I be able to continue to use the Jison mods and have PBeM matches against players who have converted to the Gold versions? 

Hi Kool Kat,

Let me be very clear, the QA issue here is only related to Smolensk as it's the only one that we changed the map on. I'll take full responsibility for the shortfall here as I pushed through this late change as an opportunistic chance to update the oldest map in the series. I did a cursory review but that was not enough at the time and want to thank Bioman and others for pointing out the issues quickly.

No other title will have these issues as we have essentially added scenarios and updated the graphics only. The only other changes are as per the physical code changes around disruption etc

As far as Jison's mods, yes you can use that with the Gold versions, but it has to be the version that works with the JTS releases. The old HPS versions will not work. As far as PBEM, you must be on the Gold version - the changes to disruption alone will cause an issue between older versions.

We wanted to take the opportunity with the Gold releases to end support for the HPS versions and move everyone over to the same code base.

Hope that clarifies things and assures you that you can upgrade accordingly. I'm looking to correct any identified issues as quickly as possible.
