Edit 3/27: Apparently Avarice V and IV were swapped (I got the friendly name mapping from reddit - not sure where a real source is) -- I confirmed in my save and two others did as well
Edit 6/2/23: Thanks jojorne for catching an issue related to the GUI for compressed saves
Here is a bat file that runs the powershell inside it (sneaky.. but effective) :
Here is the same script that you can copy and past and save into a .bat file (use notepad and save as UTF-8 or ANSI (do not select the with BOM ones) and run to avoid the prompts that you get from windows about it being safe or not..
Code: Select all
@findstr/v "^@f.*&" "%~f0"|powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -&goto:eof

, so I could build another Erlking, however, when I wanted a third, I ran into the same problem, no powercore. Looking at research and there the whole section about the Erlking was gone.
