Thanks so much Levis, Jack Rackham, and Grey Roger, for making this wonderful update for us players to enjoy! I am so greatly enjoying playing this wonderful mod that you all and Pieter have so beautifully put together and continue to improve.

So other than reinitializing, no saved game compatibility issues to watch out for, and we don't need to restart campaigns? Just making sure. :)

Yup, just install it and do F11 and everything should be fine. Could be if you are playing Ardent and/or Woodes Roger and you make it to the new part there is a problem but I believe everything should be initialized right. but @Grey Roger and @Jack Rackham could say that better.
For the other storylines there shouldn't be any problem.
 
I'm doing freeplay, and my wife hasn't had time to start her Ardent campaign yet because school is just starting the new semester, so we'd have no issues there then. :)

Great! Thanks for including a zip file of updates, so we can just cut and paste--it is nice to be able to avoid having to reinstall.
 
There should be no problem with WoodesRogers as the new parts not are included in the game yet, just prepared.
 
Jack Rackham, I'm really looking forward to trying WoodesRogers after my current freeplay campaign. It looks really interesting. :)
 
"Ardent" will certainly need a new game as some new characters and items are introduced for the alternative path to the "Convoy Strike" quest.
 
New zip in the first post. I'm sorry but a new game is enforced with this update.

Thanks to @Tingyun @Jack Rackham @Pieter Boelen, @Grey Roger and many others for making it possible.

Please test install this zipfile. You can install it over the 24-8 update or a clean 4.1 installation.
 
Levis, mainly curious for my own knowledge of how things work, but which files/changes ended up breaking save game compatibility? Was it the new captain generation system?

Or was it a safeguard to prevent the random item glitch?

Both in theory shouldn't break it. But both could create nasty effects so to be safe I made sure we don't get bug reports due to these problems.
 
I cant make this ZIP installing in the right way. When I unzip it the result looks like: Udklip.PNG

You can probably take the PROGRAM and RESOURCE folders from that ZIP and put it over your main game folder instead.
Probably something @Levis needs to correct properly though.
