Can someone confirm that this new patch dates the .exe file 12/5/16 and not 12/2/16 and that the launch screen has a date of 12/5/16 and not 12/5/16. I may have done a stupid when trying to install.

Hi Malwart,

no, you did it correctly. The version information you see on the splash screen is taken from the '..\CW2\Settings\System.opt' file from the 'GameVersion' parameter. The variable in that parameter in the 1.06.3 patch is '1.06.3 (December 2nd, 2016)', so that is correct.

the EXE date did not change, as the replacement problem was only about deleting the cached models definitions, so that the default value is properly set.
The loading screen should show a correct, Dec 5th date though.

Nope, it's definitely showing 'December 2nd, 2016'; also in the Credits, but the version number is spot on ;)

Before trying to figure out exactly what happened, because it shouldn't have, it will be much, much quicker if you do a fresh install; and safer.
