I think these last 4

* Cleaned up some book mode background speech.
* Arkenstone lit lamp effect should be more obvious now.
* Fix middle beasts' backstab.
* Smaug Multiball scoring nerfed.

and

* HSTD entry now times out after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Are the new ones between 1.30 beta and 1.30

------

Also, its 400mb bigger
had a look inside to see the differences and it looks like all the videos for Battle of the 5 armies is in there... So should be pretty close and in 1.40 firmware.

i just Loaded and was playing 1.3. Had Smaug multiball and beast multi ball stacked. I was having a pretty good ball with a lot of call outs and the game reset. This did not happen with 1.21. I will try another game and will see if it re produces.

Yes, 1.3 crashes and causes the game to reboot in the middle of play.

Were you able to play any of the videos or are you going by file names? JJP is encrypting files in delta updates now. Not on my PC at the moment to check.

If you have 1.30 beta there is no reason to go to 1.31. I didn't.

I would just to he safe go to 1.31. I had several games on 1.30 before it crashed. I was over a million to the first time. It only takes minutes to update. Good job jjp on a quick fix. Love jjp.

A 1/4th of a GB bigger, so I'd do it. Keith fixed the 1.30 reset issue in 1.31, so I'd do it.

In my game here and no issues.

Like Lloyd said it's another 1/4 + gig. Lots more additions within.

1.30P just under 1.1G
1.31 just over 1.4G

So yes update it.
