Good Morning Everyone! We have released v1.23.2 to Testing Build. If you would like to try out Testing build but don’t know how, you can find instructions on how to switch builds here: http://ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2594&pid=6237#pid6237 The release comes a couple hours early because I will be unable to do any hotfixes over the weekend. If you run across any major issues, please try to report it to me on Friday (today). So what’s new? The major feature in this build is the Continental Auto Production Shipping Restrictions. You can find this feature in the Production Window when Auto Production is enabled. Continental Restrictions limit shipping of vehicles to the Continent/RegionID that the city/territory is in. Besides that, the patch is mostly smaller features, balancing, and bug fixes. v1.23.3 will take a bit longer than this update as I want to finish what remains of the maps. The new translation software should finally be in place (7 months late…) So I will be reducing the workload for translators/editors as well. (Removing redundant text, removing stuff that is not in the game, etc.) The audio narration of the tutorial will be finished too. So I have to put that together as well. Until then… enjoy!
