Oops, I forgot to include the fixed file. It should end up in the final version of the patch!

But all others fixes have been included, right? :D I am asking since I want to start next playthrough in the evening or something.

I hope so ;)!

Thanks for the new release, but I'm confused. I last reinstalled with something like 8.8. A lot has probably changed. Why have the histories been removed? Also, is a clean reinstall mandatory?

[Wesp5]

The histories have not been removed, they were only moved into the plus patch as they were not a part of the original game. A clean install is not mandatory as the patch now runs from it's own subfolder, so it and other big mods can be installed and run in parrallel from the created shortcuts!

[The Everlasting Stillness ☯]

Sweet, I was thinking of doing a parallel Final nights or Camarilla and UP+ playthrough, this is really good news. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

Argh, so it really does not work with spaces and different solutions. I will have to think of something else...

[Kalakian]

Are the char special backgrounds got removed? I did not playd the game for a long time...

What was bad with it in the first place? Maybe except the coma instead of colon it was fine. The middle part is supposed to be some kind of poem so first two lines should go without coma imho.

Besides if you want to have a little bigger fonts on that note why not to adjust 'Wide' parameters?

Here, this works ok (regents_invitation.txt):

The main problem for me with all notes was that the readability was bad because on lower resolutions the words were too close together. So I added double spaces which sometimes messed up the formatting like with this note.

Here, this works ok (regents_invitation.txt):

Ah, this does look even better than the fixed version Psycho-A provided. I'll use it :)!

In the mission "Necromancy" if savest man (AND EVEN IF does not save), the camera goes into a state here)) Restarting does not help.

Generally, as a really spoiled: I found a bug with disabling skills on the mouse and the keys, starting with the downtown - a purely fixed copying folders cfg from another patch version.
But there is a need to guess ....
