[Markus Heinsohn]

Important: This update is only for OOTP 19 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version.
It is NOT compatible with the Steam, Origin or Mac OSX AppStore version! The Steam update is available via the Steam client, the Origin update will be available via the Origin client within 24 hours and the Mac AppStore version is pending review at Apple, which will take 1-2 days.

Hello everybody!

This week we were working very hard to fix the last remaining issues of the problematic 19.8.64 update. And it looks like we succeeded, all customers who were in contact with us because of performance issues / crashes have reported that the current build is stable and performs great. So, here is the final 19.8 update, version 19.8.79.

Please do note that this version (19.8.79) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.8.70 or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues.

Changelist (from 19.8.70)
- Improved interface speed
- Fixed performance issues with some AMD CPUs
- Fixed 1946, 1947, 1948 league total stats
- Fixed bugs: scouting graphs, historical finances, allstar bonus, and others

Compared to yesterday's beta build 19.8.78 this new build fixes a problem where certain screens did not show the background image in some situations.

Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Again, we are very sorry that the 19.8.64 update was such a mess for some users. Hopefully update 19.8.79 puts this annoying chapter to rest.

Cheers,
Markus & the entire OOTP Team
