The non-official Hotfix 2 for VIP:R 0.4

[Fürstbischof]

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

But, to be honest, I'm just keeping VIP:R alive, credit goes to the original mod team which has built one of the largest Paradox mods od all time.

By the way, if you click on CREDITS in the main menu, you can see the list of contributors to VIP:R, which is quite impressive.

1: I have not install the Pop Splitter. Can I do it now or do I must to reinstall everything (and the game) with Pop splitter in the same time?

#1 You don't have to install the Pop Splitter at all. Simply open its sub-directory in the main menu of your game and run its exe. Then click "Select File" and go to the sub-directory "...\scenarios\save games" and select your savegame. Alternatively you can open the config.cfg file with an editor and change line 13: "GAMEDIR = ...", so that you can click "AutoSplit".

2: I have a save game from vic1 vanilla with no mods. Can I use my save or not?

#2 Old vanilla savegames can't be used for playing VIP:R. Once you've installed VIP:R your old savegames, vanilla scenarios or other mods might work for a short time but you'll probably experience missing string errors. This happens because of a rework of the vanilla event files by VIP:R whose strings (e.g. in the event_text.csv file) have been renamed.

3: If I chose the scenario a house divided 1861 does the mod works with?

#3 The gfx mods (named bebro_*) can be used for playing vanilla or other mods. The Leaderpack can be used for playing vanilla and several but not all mods.

Changing the language by using the cheat is an ad hoc measure which does serve it purpose during your game session, but that has to be redone the next time you want to play. It's only a small hassle but has very beneficial side effects...
