I found the links for 1.13, is 8301 the latest build? I get it to boot up create a merc, but when I go to choose more mercs from aim, it locks up.

 Last time I checked the wiki said "next version: 2015"....
Somewhere someone might have forgotten about stable builds completely.

I'd suggest that if the latest build is horrible for you try one a few months earlier and see what happens. Usually though I stick to the official stable one from the wiki, outdated by years as the current one is.

Downwards compatible to what exactly? A savegame without mods? To a certain degree - yes. With mods - not necessarily. Usually the mod has to be updated if new features require new game data.

sorry for the ambiguous question.
i mean is the latest SCI supposed to work with an older builds?
there are a lot of old builds available on depri´s onedrive, but the SCIs only date back to 2015.

based on the changelogs i suspect that i would need a specific SCI for certain builds.

An SCI includes both game data and the exe that work together. It makes little sense to try old game data with a much newer exe and even less sense to try new game data with an old exe. It may work but why would anyone try to play a combination that was never meant to be played? Of course you can try whatever you like. Just don't ask for support for such experiments. ;-)

yes, but not all builds come with a new SCI.
thats ok, because not every change in the code requires a change in the game data.

for the latest build i just use the latest SCI and it usually works.
but is there any way to know which SCI would be correct for a specific older build?

Each SCI has a revision number in the file name so simply use the SCI that is directly below the exe revision that you want to use. Using an older exe with a newer SCI has not been tested. It may work or not. You can try.
