Yes! Thanks. I'd love to test this!

Do I just install it over my current version or do I have to uninstall first?
Can I use my saved games without doing anything?

Uninstall your current version. Your saved games will remain- they will not be deleted when you uninstall your game. Then re-install this new version.

If you want to test the new registration process, find the file "eb2.cfg" inside your saved game folder. Delete that file. When you start the new version it will ask for your reg code again.

i'm getting some text in the top left of the screen when i open my recipe book, as seen in the screengrab below. It only appears when i expand the recipe book though.

That is some debugging code for testing 1.02. It will not be there in the "release" version of 1.02 (will release on Monday).

Installed 1.02 beta. Recipe book shows all records now. Just don't forget to remove debug info to the left. I also noticed that password for datapak is changed, although it's easy to find it even if it's 20 characters long and includes special characters.

The improvements of 1.02 will be included in Macintosh\Linux version?

[jakob1978]

I'm getting an error "Exception_Access_Violation".

It's happened after i've bought all the recipes from the alchemist in Port Kuada. The crash occurs when I open the recipe mixer and expand the book. When I scroll down the recipe list it gets halfway down and then puts up the error (the last entry on the list that i can see is "Imbue With Cold", when i try to scroll lower is when it crashes).

I've attached my savegame, just in case that will help.

Just curious if we will need to start a new game when 1.02 releases?

I tried your save game. It didn't crush if to follow your instructions. But I see that scrolling allows to scroll much more than necessary. Note for programmer: list_handle is supposed to be recipe index, which is shown as a first recipe in list, but actually it is not so. If I click once to scroll down then list_handle always changes by 1, but actual number of scrolled recipes might be 1 or 2. Make sure that actual number of scrolled recipes during one click always matches 1.
