Hi, i'm having trouble with the installation i keep getting the "Could not find a part of the path......\510064564\NDF_Win.dat" error during the installation.
i tried installing without the custom skins and i tried reinstalling wargame and deleting all my decks ALL OF THEM but no luck so far, what should i do? is there anyway to install the mod without the installer?
i did some research and it turns out other people have/had this problem too but i couldn't find a fix for it anywhere.
oh and here's the full log in case it helps:

What path did you put in as the Wargame folder location?

I am honestly sorry for the slow progress, however I just don't have that much time for modding at the moment. Still, to at least give you something, I'd like to point out some of the changes patch 0.1.40 will bring.

One concern I heard quite a few times was how OP high-end gunships are at the moment. I tried to nerf them in a reasonable way, but you should still keep in mind that tanks in general got some huge buffs, concerning both thier cost efficiency and thier capabilities. Helos like the AH-64 and the Mi-28 are the most effective counters for them. If they are nerfed too hard, tank rushing would become a bigger issue. However, I tried to adress the actual problems, so I changed the aim time of ATGMs. Especially the Ataka-M and Vikhr had no aim time before, which suprised me. It of course makes sense in the vanilla game, they have to be the counterpart to the F&F Hellfire there, but with the ripple fire mechanic, as some of you pointed out, they became very powerful. Maybe too powerful. So now AA units have some time to react. Furthermore, the US' HUMRAAM gets a range buff so it is able to shoot missiles before Russian gunships can shoot back, like the Pantsir and Tor can already do. Additionally, some gunships got thier avail reduced slightly.
Another issue I saw was with stealth ASF. The YF-22/F-22A was not included into RD in the first place because everyone feared it would be too good. Driven by that fear, I was very caucious when implementing such aircraft into the game. This led to the F-22A and the PAK-FA being are the most epensive aircraft in Crimaen Escalation. What I however missed at that point was that all other units got better aswell, also other aircraft. And while the air tabs of Russia and the US feature lots of multirole aircraft with even fairly good availabilities and cost, I think the price for 5th-gen-fighters is too high. The best aircraft to compare is the F-35A, which has the F-22's AA-missiles, 4x 500kg guided bombs AND good stealth at the same availability. So I decided to give the F-22A and the PAK-FA a price buff and a unique veterancy boost to turn them into the feared ASFs they should be.

About the technical issues, I am afraid I cannot help much, because I am simply not very good at that stuff. I don't knwo where they come from either, and don't really know how I could find that out. I can just recommend to check if you have the newest version of both the mod and the game.

Also, I recently got AoA and looked into it's files. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to extract the models and put them into RD, which I hoped for.
