EDIT: and im using vb 3.6.2

[Burley]

Anybody know (or have an idea) when an update for this one will be released so it works perfectly on 3.6.5?

[MarioK]

Will this work on VB 3.6.7 ? Would like to install if it does.

[Snake]

Oh no, that's not good.

Is anyone aware of any alternatives to this mod? I attempted to install on 3.6.4 and it does not work (as far as I can tell).
