– update era.dll core to version 3.9.26:

> – Collects technical information about the issue;
> – Includes a text field for describing events leading up to the crash;
> – Allows attaching a save file;

> – Requires an internet connection to work.

WoG:

> [!TIP]
> Added the ability to display notifications in the Main Menu for each mod:
> – Now mod authors can add their own notifications to the main menu, which can only be controlled by updating their own mod;
> – To add a notification, you need to add the following json keys, where [mod_folder_name] is the name of the active mod folder:
>“`
>”era.[mod_folder_name].notification.name” – to display the notification name;
>”era.[mod_folder_name].notification.text” – to display the notification text;
>”era.[mod_folder_name].notification.url” – to open an external file or follow an external link when clicking on the notification name;
>“`
>- Colored text and display of def images with replacement by PNG are supported;
>- Once hidden notification will not be forced to be displayed until its text is changed;
– Now the game build version is tied to the WoG mod;
– all new elements are displayed only in the main menu dialog;
