Another point - if you do play in simultaneous mode, on the log report of combats, press the "Combat Replay" button and you can watch what actually happened - at least, with whatever patch added that spiffy feature.

Meanwhile, I just tried to patch 1.27 to 1.35, and it said I had the wrong Version, although it mentioned 1.27 was a Version it could patch from. I had modified one of the data files, though.

Note: combat replay will NOT show damage to ships, and it will not show whether or not any shot hit or missed.

Weren't there two Versions of 1.27?

The other question is how the new patch determines your current patch level - is it a text file in the SE4 directory, or is it a Registry entry. The answer may lead to finding the problem...

Yes, there were; "1.27a" had a serious bug that was quickly reported and fixed in "1.27b" before a lot of people had even downloaded "a", but the patches were both just called "1.27".

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft

You're right about the damage part, but it does show whether they hit or miss.
