PBW Support for 1.33

We are pleased to announce we’ve added support for SEV version 1.33 to PBW. If you don't have it yet you can download it now from http://www.spaceempires5.com/files/se5patch_v133.exe.

1.33 implements a lot of great fixes including a couple that will help with the turn processing on PBW. It should reduce the amount of time it takes turns to process, and it gets rid of the black screen that would take over the desktop when turns would process in previous version. This made it difficult to do anything on the server while turns were running.

Because of this we are doing something a little different than previous versions. With this one we are encouraging everyone to upgrade to the latest version as soon as is practical. The previous versions will still be supported for existing games, but game owners will no longer have the option to create a game with the stock versions prior to 1.33, or with the mod versions prior to 1.25. Game owners will also not be able to change their games to these obsolete versions. As soon as version 1.33 mods are available we will obsolete the 1.25 mod versions as well.
