- Chat notifications should now be functioning correctly.

Editor:
- Real world maps and special maps no longer appear in the list for generating random maps.
- Generating blank tiny maps no longer causes a crash.
- Improvements have been made to correctly load and play very old scenarios.
- Users are now able to Modify Scenario Dependencies for existing scenarios. For example, if someone made a really complicated scenario in Age of Empires, they can now convert it to require African Kingdoms and utilize the new content. This feature is accessible from the Main Menu in the Scenario Editor section (We also recommend that you backup your scenarios before you convert).

- Campaign packages as well as saves and replays using the new file extension are now moddable.
- The Main Menu is now moddable (If you have main menu mods and enable/disable them, you'll need to restart the game before you'll see the changes).
Key Known Issues:
- Multiplayer Restore is still not functioning.
- African Kingdom saved games may not always load correctly.
