Then you apply his hot fix which is #Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix.rar.
From a superficial level this looks OK. Now mate I know why you released your second configuration item, which was to uncomment the dates and enable them, great idea. Then ofcourse the hotfix from the mod author. However the problem here is the way you released the patch, you actually skipped the real mod authors Patch 1. Theres a breakdown between the mod authors releases and yours. The mod authors Patch 1, Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1.rar, is 48511 KB in length. To not corrupt this mod and to remain current with the mod authors upstream releases you need this 48meg patch, then your patch ontop of it to do your date goodness. Theres allot of changes in that 48 mb patch. Ive spent many hours trying to document your setup and then my own, and I can advise that clearly, my testing is showing there is a reduction in strange gameplay weirdness and intermittent crashes when I fixed up this package to be in synch properly with the upstream mod author and your patch.

Yes, a while ago I had reported exacly the same issue which looks to me as a possible oversight by sober. But probably sober didn't notice my post, as I have never received an answer on it.
