I posted a v1.23.05 Beta Hotfix this morning at Matrix, same link at https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4784513.
--- Quote ---UPDATE 4/18/2020
After receiving reports of casualties not working in some cases (which is a major bug), I've been working with MapleLeaf and his intrepid pbem players to find and fix this bug and resolve a few other issues. The change log for v1.23.05 is updated with the following items:
- France and Great Britain not able to place corps and depots in Spain during setup phase of 1812 scenario - resolved.
- Battle casualties not being taken in some cases - resolved.
- Austrian Insurrection Corps ready to be placed message appearing during other player turns - resolved.
- Prisoners screen errors due to new leader ratings not working correctly - resolved and wgslabels.txt updated.
For the 1812 setup, France and Great Britain should comply with the scenario setup requirements. House Rules are in effect.
For the prisoners screen, I had a syntax error for printing the leader ratings. Once that was resolved the message length was too long with the additional (+2 PPs Gain For Release) message and a smaller font caused some display issues. So that additional message now appears as a popup when you hover over the Release Prisoners button, consistent with the other popups for the other buttons. Hence the update to the wgslabels.txt file included in the attached Hotfix zip. You should be able to extract the zip file contents into you EIA folder and the new file should go to \Data\programtext.
Alrighty, I trust this Hotfix update makes the v1.23.05 Beta playable. At least to the point of continuing PBEM games and starting some 1812 scenario games to generate feedback about the 1812 setup issues. I intend to review all of my notes for the v1.23.xx updates and settle on various back-burner issues to work on for v1.23.06 going into the home stretch for an official update. I'll add an update to the State of the Game later today or tomorrow.
Update Note: You do not need the earlier v1.23.05 Beta first; the Hotfix is a complete game EXE and the .txt file. So players can simply add the Hotfix. For new installations, make a clean install of the original game, update to the v1.23.00 Beta comprehensive patch, and then apply the v1.23.05 Beta Hotfix. (When I say clean install, please refer to previous guidance, as convoluted as it may be. Sorry.)

The v1.23.07 beta is now available. This is a comprehensive update. We'll run it as a public beta until the new year and then make it an official update. Please check it out if you own a copy of the Matrix Games PC version and see what you think. It is much MUCH improved now in many ways!

I posted a v1.23.08 Beta several weeks ago and a Hotfix #1 update yesterday. Information is at https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5003509&mpage=1&key=�. v1.23.08 implements A LOT of AI improvements for strategic advances and retreats as well as strategic redeployment of forces. The computer opponent is much more challenging now. Not brilliant, but better. The Hotfix #1 resolves several issues with PBEM games where some DOWs weren't happening and some game phases were being incorrectly skipped. Also, there was a problem with Spain getting through the diplomacy phase, either as pbem host or pbem client or AI player; that is all working well now.
If any players want to try a faster small-group pbem game with say 2-4 players and see how it goes, I'd appreciate any feedback you have as I turn my attention to resolving several minor bug issues and making a few more minor AI improvements for Hotfix #2 going into a release version. I really would like the v1.23.08 release to be fully supportive for PBEM games and as bug-free as possible. Some things may have to wait until later, but that's how it goes.
