should probably be listed in the changes area of this update. at the first post. many mods have been broken.

badtouchatr wrote: Tue Aug 06, 2019 7:54 pm Yes, agree. That is a 100% crappy, sneaky way to let users know of an upcoming change. Not only is it not listed in the changelog for the release, but the whole implementation of the change is less than sensible. It checks prototypes during game load, and throws an error if there's a problem, leaving the user no way to fix it without a lot of trouble (disabling mods, restarting, etc). It seems like the devs are now knowingly introducing new problems, and telling the users "hey, it's up to you to fix it, we're washing our hands of this."

Is there a pilot in the cockpit of this jumbo jet heading towards "stable" release? Either no, or yes, but the pilot has had a stroke.

Bilka wrote: Tue Aug 06, 2019 10:34 pm The change is listed in the 0.17.61 changelog because it was first introduced in that version and then reverted because it was causing crashes. This is why it did not end up in the 0.17.63 changelog.

The implementation is the same as for any modding feature restriction. That's just how the modding API works.

The change fixes problems where the game would crash to desktop: 73488. That is heading towards stable release: Fixing the last edge case bugs.

Mernom wrote: Thu Aug 08, 2019 3:12 am Unless I miscalculated, the pre release announcement was less than 12 hours before the actual release?

That's not much time for modders to fix stuff even without timezones being considered.

On top of that, it should still have been listed in the change notes. Since it IS a change.
