Oops, I think this may be an issue with the in-game installer improperly updating my game...  will explain the various mishaps I'm experiencing.

EDIT:  Err--is there some sort of way to reverse the update?  It says I am 3011 but Version.txt in the Expansions folder says 3.001, and I still assume the game updated incorrectly.

Looks like what you did was install the latest beta from a prerelease without ever updating to official 3.0. The easiest way to back it off would be to manually install 2.300, I hink that was the last cumulative prerelease. Then you'd need to update to official 3.0 and also the official 3.011 of the expansion content. Then the beta after that. The version you are seeing in the expansion folder is correct, it is not updated every time the game itself is updated (not nearly so).

That should get you settled!

Ah, thanks for your help--I have everything in order now, it seems.

Time for testing, and listening to that great music!  C:
