now I've changed the _init_.pye with your perviously attached version.

That seems to indicate your problem must have been caused by your local Cloudflare node ( there are more than 200 ) wasn't updated with the latest file, because the file I posted is exactly the same we uploaded with the update, so it should have been replicated automatically over the cloudflare network and, for some reason, your local node didn't get it, sometimes it happens after an update, we tried to report it to Cloudflare but, usually, by the time they reply, the file gets eventually updated anyway.

The problem is, if we didn't use Cloudflare caching, it would be impossible to get updates on release day, because of thousands of users downloading from a single server at the same time so, with slowdowns and timeouts, the chance to get the wrong files would be even higher, and everything would be much slower, assuming it will even work.

Instead, with Cloudflare we have very fast downloads for everybody, since users will download from their own local node, but we must live with some nodes not getting the latest file at the same time as the majority. It's likely the correct file should be online everywhere now.

Yes, i edited the add-on.xml file to point to the 32 bit version (didn`t manage the first time i tried).
I did use the pty file from you, but it didn`t make any difference.
Thanks for helping.

Hello Thorn, can you please give me a simple instructions how to change directory path? I’m not a computer wizard. I’m using Wins 10 and P3DV4. Thanks.
