Hi Everyone,

unfortunately at release we found some issues with HD Edition compatibility, aswell as a few bugs in the patch files. These have now all been remedied and RoR will also be providing an update at the same time for HD Edition on Moddb. I have updated all the links in the main download thread.


I am very sorry for the inconvienence, but if everyone spreads the word that this is now available everyone should be on the same page within a few days. In future, the switcher will have a check for updates feature which will make things like this a lot easier.

If you have custom hotkeys or higher zoom for 1.00 and 1.06 make sure you back these up before installing this!



You will mismatch if you do not get the update.

Thanks for the update!

Wouldn't it be better to call this 1.9.1?
I'm curious to see if the small issues I've spotted were fixed.

We fixed all bugs and I added a few things whilst I was at it, staff flare for Saruman, bit of sound levelling, couple other things. I consider this a hotfix so we'll stay with this version number for now. Next time theres an update, which wont be for ages, the switcher will have an update function in built. I'm taking a holiday from patching, 10 000 hours on this devoured my life for the past 3 years

No you cant. But there will be a file made public for 1.09 with 560 zoom like 1.08, soon.

I did some quick testing:

Dwarf banner carriers at level 2+ and Gimli level 5 ability-icon seem to be fixed for me.
I'm still not sure about the (passive?) level 7 King Dain ability. Rebuild still has the wrong icon for me.

Update:
I've istalled the HD edition 1.1. Now the Gimli level 5 ability-icon thing ist back. Since the HD edition uses the same icon, I'd guess it wasn't really fixed.

Use old one but edit the following lines to look like this.
Version:Format4
"1.09"
END

Version:Format3
"1.09"
END

Version:Format2
"1.09"
END

Ive cleaned this topic a bit, all major bugs were fixed in the release, the minor stuff with an icon or two can wait for the next major patch, which wont be out for at least a year. Ill pin this for a little while, if anyone is facing issues please join the discord group
