It's a bit difficult to explain what it's for, but I really ask you to answer honestly, because it might (I hope) influence the future development of the HDmod.

I'm using version 2.98, but I plan to switch to the new version soon, waiting for it to become stable (they fix bugs every day).

+1 !

And I'm just a humble bug-user, using a version with a CHEAT that speeds up battles. Version 3.05. The turn duration has been reduced by 20-25%.

I chose the second option, although I don't check for updates every day, but I do it quite often.

HD version.
The game runs very stably; throughout my entire playthrough of HD 3.xx, there were only a few crashes, which are fixed with each new version. The functionality is amazing.

Wouldn't it have been easier to create an open-ended poll? )
The Satyr is a scoundrel! )))
Regarding the topic, the second option, 2.98, is definitely ready to gather dust on a bookshelf like the previous versions.

Redwhait HP, and what is it for? :)

Actually, I worded the poll a bit incorrectly, but never mind.
The point was that versions 3.0+ differ in their content, and I'm sure many players have seen in the chat
Tournament Extensions OFF
Improved Gameplay OFF
and then suddenly everyone starts to like the pure SoD without showing MP, the timer, and another 100500 features, for which the mod is actually updated.
Based on this information, I would like to draw a conclusion about the number of people eagerly downloading the latest version.

We need to implement detection and notification.

Haha, Satyr revealed himself for no reason. Now they'll ruin his fun :D

Damn it!

Now everyone already knows! Everyone is drooling, and they're spamming me on ICQ:D

I played the third version until it crashed three times in online games, around RC7, and all of these crashes occurred within the first week of gameplay. After that, I just tested some versions, making a couple of moves in each. Recently, I played on RC12, but it was just an experiment. It would be better to first launch a basic, playable version of the third game so that you can at least play it. And then, introduce experiments and new features in beta or gamma versions for testing. As it is, new features are being added, which may create new bugs, and there seems to be no end to these bugs.
And 2.98 is much more stable, practically bug-free; I don't remember when it last crashed, and it even has an MP meter.

Well, you made me come back! Second option.

It would have been better to release a basic, playable version first, so that people could at least play the game. And then, experiments and new features could be added in beta or gamma versions for testing. As it is, new features are being added, which may create new bugs. And there seems to be no end to these bugs.

Actually, yes. I have similar thoughts.

What if all the new features were made into a separate, large package? And the existing 3.0x version could be fixed for bugs, so that it could be played reliably. So that it would be as stable as 2.98, or even better.

And if there is stability, then you can add the package of new features (which may create a new wave of bugs) and continue testing it there.

As it is, the situation is that a player installs version 3.x, it starts to glitch, and he says, "No, I don't need this."
After all, in an online game, "auto-save" is a very sensitive and problematic topic.
Saying that you used auto-save because your mod crashed will sound like an excuse to many. Many won't even say it if it happens to them, because they know they won't be told directly, but they will at least think about it. And they will either continue playing (using auto-save), or they will restart, or they will give up, but in all cases, it is very unpleasant. And it discourages people from using version 3.
Especially auto-save in a tournament...

But to say, I currently have the latest version, and it's working fine. It's running without a single crash so far.
