Summary0026651: GOG Linux version generates errors when installed over 3.309
DescriptionI've been on stable version 3.309 since last Summer using the offline Linux installer purchased through GOG. When upgrading AI War 2, I've generally left the old game files in-place to preserve existing user settings. In the case of 4.001, upgrading the game in this way results in error messages appearing on game launch. Attached is a debug log.

I'm able to get around this problem by deleting the stable version before running the 4.001 installer. By making such a "clean" install, the game launches just the way I would expect.
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks!

* Fixed an issue where two legacy xml files were removed (rather than just blanked out) as part of the 4.0 upgrade, and so installing into the existing folder the game was already in would lead to errors. These files have now returned, but are empty, and thus overwrite the old files, allowing people to install things over-top of their existing installation.
** Also, this winds up then not relying on Steam or GOG Galaxy to properly delete the missing files, because they don't always do that. Once a file exists in the wild, we try never to remove it, only to deprecate it.
