Nothing changed in the engine itself, but two useful memory patches added:
- WhipSplash (removes black splash screens)
- Multithread (fixes crashes on CPU's with hyber-threading or several cores) (Very popular source of wog random crashing)
What concerns the package, HiRes was updated to the latest version and battle speeding up applied.

That bin file is memory patch. Put it in the EraPlugins folder to install.
Draker, is it troublesome for you to download the whole archive every time? It's possible to make smaller personal update.

You can use full colour PCX (24 or 32 bit?) in DL ERM-dialogs. Use letter 'C' for full color PCX and 'P' for 8-bit PCX in templates.

It is not bothersome to download. I've overwritten files in archive over old ERA. Is this right way of updating to new version?
Memory patch that fixes crashing on HT and multi-core CPUs, is it available for "standard WoG 3.58f"?

Yes, overwriting works well.
What's about the patch, it requires something to load dll which is done automatically in Era but is not done in 3.58f.

Adventure screen button "Next Hero" and "Status Window" seem to be blocked. Is it?
These buttons are useful, is it possible to change them back?

"Next Hero" button allows cheating in multiplayer.
Any other buttons are not changed in TE/Era (only HiRes could).
I'll try to release the patch for turning "Next Hero" on.

Perfect! One of the things that currently bugs me the most are these random crashes! Will try the newer version 
One question though, is it possible to update a already existing (older) installation of ERA ?
Cheers

I hope it will help, but multiple cores is not the only source of crashes. Some wog scripts like crossable terrain are quite risky.

You can install new build over the previous one.

WogEra v3 to v4 update
Includes 2 patches:
-) Enable "Next Hero" button (by MoP)
-) Restore SoD AI thinking radius (32000 instead of 4096 in WoG, which sometimes caused hangs or stupid AI behaviour)

That really good news, but it will be compatible with Doom3D scripts right ??? It is change thinking radius to 32000 too.
