Very annoying: I have like 20 saved wog settings (dat files), I keep them all in a folder named Wog Options. Up until now, I was able to select and load those dat files by browsing the folder in Wog Menu. But now I have to carry them to main Era folder to be able to select them.
This is since the recent 2.46, the previous 2.46 uploaded a few days ago had no such problem.

I´ve just updated to 2,46 but now I am back on that same problem as before, were mobs moves like way to fast.
But I dont use Fast Battle Animation Mod, and I deleted the "Data\cranim.txt" too. Still moves faster than normal.

Also, not very important but if put in plug-ins folder "shades of darkness" can't be turned off now. I tested plague and bad luck, to see if they can be turned off, looks like they can but havent tested many many times, maybe a plague month or a unlucky hit didn't just occur.

UseOnlyOneCPUcore is set to 0 by default. It should be set to 1 by default.

Now 0 by default. The source of crashes to my mind was MP3 trigger.

Now I have another issue which I didn't have with previous version. I can buy all war machines in blacksmith, altough "all war machines in blacksmith.dll.off" is off. Am I the only one?
