We hope you’re enjoying v0.6.5 because we’re releasing an updated version of it today!
Download the latest version here:

So what's new? We’ve fixed some glaring bugs such as the dreaded worldmap crash around Jericho, vehicle trunks following you around and others frequently reported ones.
Also, we’ve added some extras for you in this update: voiced endgame slides and more voiced characters in the game’s beginning with a promise of more on their way!
In the meantime, our writers are focusing on the one and only Joshua Graham aka the Hanged Man.
Our artist Goat_Boy is sending you a wallpaper featuring Alexandra, the star of our latest release. You can find the wallpaper in the gallery above.
Our mapper QweSteR made big progress with Jericho, so be sure to check out some sneak peeks in the gallery. He also helped us get in touch with possible new team members, those as rare as yetis, the programmers. Fingers-crossed we finally expand our programming team.
And finally, our artist MiniNuke is drawing a storyboard for our new animation movie that will be part of the new intro animation. Check out the gallery for some sneak peek!
Enjoy the updated v0.6.5!

Thank you, Willem! Stay tuned for more goodies 😄

This looks amazing PJ & Team! The screens look so cool and detailed showcasing these areas in all their glory! Awesome wallpaper as well and thank you for ironing out the bugs! Thank you again to you and the team for all the hard work!
PJ
Thanks! Only the best for our fans 😄
JR
It looks great! So nice that you got it from them.
PJ
It was originally developed for Sonora but we liked it so much and asked for permission to use it. Also, our Jericho mapper QweSteR wanted to expand it and now we’re in the process of doing that
JR
So that's a new asset developed by you? Looks great!
PJ
It’s a Jericho water plant! Not finished yet but we’re getting there 😄

"Better safe than sorry!" That's why I asked. :) I figured it was harmless, but wanted to be sure.
PJ
No worries, I completely forgot that exe fires randomly in some AVs. Sorry for the upset but it’s harmless. Better safe than sorry!
Mike Lew
Great information. Thank you! I only really follow the game here, so I wasn't aware of the previous discussions. I appreciate the help.
PJ
Thank you! We had a blast creating that location and promise that more greatness is on the way 😎
PJ
Yes, you can delete that exe unless you plan to mod items or critters. I confirmed that its source was safe and compiled the binary myself, but it was still flagged as a trojan. You can see the community discussing the topic here: https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/protomanager-virus.220485/

I don't know if this is the right thread, but Mesa Verde is super enjoyable. Well done!
Mike Lew
Thanks for the info.

I downloaded and unzipped the package last night. Would deleting ProtoManager.exe from the download achieve the same goal?
JR
That brick building in the upper left corner looks cool! What assets are that?
PJ
I've removed ProtoManager.exe. Try this URL: https://gofile.io/d/n4OfGn
PJ
I don’t think so I’m afraid. The save game system in Fallout engine ignores some changes done to the updated files and for some others, it will cause crash upon loading the old saves
PJ
It’s probably complaining about ProtoManager.exe which is a known False Positive for some AVs. We will upload a version without it
Mike Lew
I downloaded from Gofile and my scanner said there was a Trojan. Can you please upload a clean version?
Mike Lew
Will save games from 0.6.5 work with the update?
